Kodak's original 2001 EasyShare — 2.2MP CCD, 2x 35-70mm zoom, CompactFlash, dock system
The EasyShare DX3600 was one of Kodak's first EasyShare-branded digital cameras, announced in April 2001 alongside the DX3500. The EasyShare system introduced the universal camera dock, letting users drop the camera on and transfer photos with a single button press — a genuinely new idea for consumer digital photography at the time.
It has a 2.2-megapixel CCD delivering images up to 1760x1168 pixels, with a 2x optical zoom covering 35-70mm equivalent at f/3.3-4.5. A 1.8-inch LCD handles framing and review, storage is via CompactFlash card, and power comes from two AA batteries, with USB transfer to a computer either directly or through the optional dock.
As an early consumer digicam it is now firmly a collector's item: 2 megapixels and slow operation rule out practical use, but it marks the start of the EasyShare line that dominated budget digital photography for a decade. Files have the low-resolution, saturated character early-2000s CCD enthusiasts look for.
Check that it powers on with fresh AA cells and recognises a CompactFlash card — CF is still available but no longer cheap in small capacities, and very large modern cards may not be recognised. The matching camera dock is a nice extra but not required, since standard USB works. Inspect the LCD and battery bay for corrosion.
