Summary: best Valentine's present ever
Comment: My husband bought me the Kodak share 6330 camera, and this print
dock. It is absolutely the best!! Sure, you pay a little more for prints, but you can do them at home, whenever you want. You can also take it with you when you go on vacation, take your pics, and print them out. The greatest thing about that--Say you're at Niagra Falls. You take your pictures, go back to the hotel, print them out. What looked good on the LCD screen wasn't quite what you wanted. Go back in the morning and retake it. You're not back home with your pictures from the developer, saying "This isn't quite the picture I wanted you to see, but it's close." It's light-weight, convenient, and even my 11-year old can use it. No more having to down load into the computer, or waiting for the originals for 2-3 days. WE LOVE IT!!!!

Summary: Easy Printing of Digital Camera Pictures
Comment: I saw this item for sale in a Staples ad - $199.95, before a $50.00 mail-in rebate. I also had a $30.00 coupon I received from Staples. So I decided to try this out - for $119.95 plus tax, why not?The setup was very easy. Pulled all the parts out of the box, then assembled it, which means filling up the paper tray and hooking the paper tray to the printer dock. Then put in the color cartridge, then plug it in. To print just from the camera, you truly do not ever need to turn on any computer.
I placed my Kodak CX6200 digital camera (paid $95.00 for this) onto the dock, and in just a few moments I had a printed picture from the camera. Other reviews about the quality of the pictture are true. It looks like a photo lab-developed picture. I am impressed with it so far.
Then I hooked it up to my computer (you install a printer driver on your computer, then you can use it with your computer after you hook it up with a USB cable) and printed a picture that I have on my hard drive. The docking station hooks up to your computer via the USB cable of your camera, so if you do not have a digital camera with a USB cable, you will need to get a USB cable to hook it up to your computer (the docking station does NOT come with its own USB cable). Once again, easy to do, and an excellent result. I used the Kodak EasyShare software that came with my camera to select and print the picture from my computer's hard drive.
It comes with a starter kit of 10 pages of Kodak photo paper (to print out 4X6 photos), and one printer cartridge. Evidently you can buy refills that have 40 pages of Kodak photo paper and a printer cartridge for about $25.00. This is how you figure about 62 cents per picture ($25.00 divided by 40 = $.625).
So overall, this appears to be a "keeper" for me. The retail price ($199.95) is kind of high - but if you can be patient and wait for another rebate to come out, and/or use a coupon like I did from Staples, then you can get this for quite a bit less. And I believe you will like the quality of the prints.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: Kodak cx6330 camera was given to me by my family as a Christmas gift. It stopped working after using it three times. At first I thought it was the battery, but after charging it all night the camera still didn't work. Bought a new battery ($14.00), charged it and still the camera did not work. After emailing the Kodak center I was told that the camera needed to be returned.

Summary: The Best
Comment: I have 3 digital cameras and usually take pictures and then never really develop or look at them. This printer is in a class by itself. Nothing compares. I buy Sony everything, but not this baby. The camera and the printer are worth the price of admission. Just took the kids to Disneyworld, and I already have photo-lab quality pictures in my Disney scrapbook and the kids helped out. What a cool thing. Do not even think of anything else. I did, and nothing compares.

Summary: An Amateur's New Best Friend!
Comment: This printer dock is amazing! I had it up and running in about 5 minutes and printed my first picture the next minute. It is very user friendly and not complicated at all. The quality of the photos is definitely comparable to professional developing. I don't see any differences. The picture prints in 4 passes--first yellow, then magenta, followed by cyan (blue), and finishes with a clear coat for lamination and protection purposes. The printer dock comes with a starter pack to print 10 pictures. After that, you buy a kit with a cartridge that prints exactly 40 pictures. No need to worry about buying paper and ink at separate times! This printer dock is compatible with Kodak CX and DX 6000 cameras and also the Kodak LS600 series. If you own a compatible camera, I highly recommend buying this printer dock, too!!! No need to be experienced in the digital world!
