Opinion: Dear sirs,
I just purchased a kodak dc3200...and i'm very happy with it.....only one thing wrong with it...
It must be an overesight of then engineers at kodak....the camera does not have a ....tripod socket....
Too bad because the camera does work very nice......
Hope you know of a way i could put it on a tripod....
Yours truly,
Ryamond Noel
Opinion: Plastic case that some might consider cheap-looking, but it's sturdy. Excellent quality photos for the money. 2MB internal memory holds 9 shots at 1152x864 (high compression), 6 at low compression..not much difference in final result. Has Compact Flash card slot, but no card included. Internal pics can be transferred to card. Other than transfer, internal memory not available until card removed. The 2x digital zoom works only in 640x480 mode. Easy to navigate menus and serial transfer software is idiotproof. Above average battery life. Overall good basic,worry free camera for standard photos ops or banging around outdoors. Suitable for pre-teen. Step up to the DC 215 if you need zoom.
Problems: Camera strap included but no lens cap (thanks Kodak!), but you can buy one from Kodak online for $4.95. It's the same cap as the dc215 and there is a notch where the cap strap attaches. You need this to prevent damage to the lense on an otherwise sturdy camera.
Opinion: This is a quality camera for the price. I've been very satisfied with the ease of use and the quality of images. I would call it a stripped down model, but for the price, it is hard to beat. It was awfully cheap of Kodak not to include a lens cap and I didn't notice it does not have a tripod mount until after the purchase.
Problems: It has been trouble free, so far.
Opinion: Requirement : A small, relatively inexpensive, megapixel camera that could
go anywhere and take the knocks. Main use would be for web images. The
Kodak DC3200 fit the bill and has performed admirably for a small 'no
frills' camera. Images are more than adequate for web usage, with 8x10
prints not being out of the question, depending on subject matter and
proposed usage. When using the internal 2mb memory the camera was slow to
write out image and also slow when deleting. Start up times, capture to
review times where also slow, but adding a 16mb CompactFlash card rectified
these. With this card in place waiting times were reduced by two thirds.
The internal flash is more than adequate for most situations, and can be
overpowering in some instances. This camera does not require a lot of light
to operate so flash usage is kept to a minimum. By using the view finder
(which has proven very accurate) to frame the subject, having quick view to
check the image and little flash usage I have captured over 100 images on
one set of four AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries are recommended, but
are not a must, as is the case with many other high-end prosumer cameras.
This camera is recommended for those starting out in digital photography,
and for those that need a low priced take-anywhere unit. A little hint when
using the camera, check flash setting each time you switch it on, as it
defaults to auto and will fire when not really needed. Sample images at

Problems: Problems : No lens cap. No tripod mount (although not really required for
this small camera). No real macro ability. Long focus and shutter lag means
action shots are out of its league. No LCD read-out for basics, such as
battery life. No USB, therefore long data transfer times via serial port.
CompactFlash card and USB CF Reader recommended in overcoming this. No case
provided, a must to protect rear LCD screen.
