Advantages: Video mode, picture quality,

Disadvantages: Lens cap comes off too easily

Wow is all I can say- I bought this as an upgrade to the dx3500, I was not disappointed. The camera came with the plastic insert tray for camera dock and as I already had the dock from my previous one, i just placed it in the dock and the camera started charging immediately. I now have a laptop computer and whilst mose people find the camera dock a bulky item, I couldn't do without it, it's flat and give the camera stability whilst it's charging - I personally don't mind it.

As usual this is simple to use and is an extremely worthwhile camera. Switch the toggle switch at the top to either movie mode, auto, sport, close up, twilight or something else (can you tell I never use this one!) wait for light to stop flashing and snap there you have it a potential winner in a photography competition. I have bought an addtional memory card which can hold 496 pictures (yes you heard right) The video mode comes with sound and believe me it picks up everything, it can be a bit tricky to use without a tripod because all tiny movements are magnified so your friends watching videos can feel quite sick after a short period. The quality is excellent though and you can even zoom in and out too whilst you are filming, I have used this at many concerts recently and all of the pics have turned out wonderfully. Pictures are as you would expect of an excellent quality and take note that close ups means close ups, don't try to take pics any less than 1 foot away otherwise it will blur. If I had one downside it would be that the lens cover comes off very very easily and you will need a camera cover as it can be slightly bulkier than other cheaper models. This is my only minor niggle for a otherwise perfect camera. I have now refused to buy anything other than a kodak camera.

Summary: Buy it, buy it now !!!
