Camera Overview — Kodak DC5000

The Kodak DC5000 is a point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 2MP sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 1760x1168 pixels. The body is constructed from plastic with a rubberized coating and carries a water-resistant rating, making it a more durable option than typical consumer cameras of its era. At 459g and measuring 140 x 89 x 83 mm, it has a substantial, grip-friendly form factor.

The camera features a 1.8-inch fixed LCD display alongside an optical viewfinder, giving shooters two ways to frame a shot. Autofocus is handled by a single-point contrast detection system without subject tracking or eye tracking. ISO is fixed at 100, so this camera is designed for well-lit shooting conditions.

Storage is handled via CompactFlash cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. Power comes from four AA batteries, which Kodak rates for approximately 200 shots per set — a practical choice for field use given the wide availability of AA cells. The built-in flash supports auto, fill-in, and red-eye reduction modes.

There is no image stabilization of any kind. Video recording specifications are not available for this model.

Description — Kodak DC5000

The Kodak DC5000 point-and-shoot camera is built around a 2MP sensor delivering a maximum resolution of 1760x1168 pixels. Its body is constructed from plastic with a rubberized coating and is rated water resistant, setting it apart from more fragile consumer cameras. The physical dimensions are 140 x 89 x 83 mm with a weight of 459g, giving it a solid feel in the hand.

Framing options include both a 1.8-inch fixed LCD display and an optical viewfinder. Focusing relies on a single-point contrast detection autofocus system. Exposure flexibility is limited by a fixed ISO of 100, so the camera performs best in daylight or well-lit environments.

The built-in flash covers auto, fill-in, and red-eye reduction modes. Storage uses CompactFlash cards, and the camera connects to a PC or Mac via USB. Four AA batteries provide power, rated for roughly 200 shots per set.

There is no image stabilization on this model.
