Camera Overview — Kodak DC215

The Kodak DC215 is a point-and-shoot digital camera from Kodak's early consumer digital lineup, built around a 1MP sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 1152x864 pixels. Images are stored in sRGB color space as JPEG files on CompactFlash media, making it straightforward to offload shots via the included USB connection. The camera uses a fixed-focus system with a single focus point, so there's no autofocus mechanism to manage — framing and shooting is kept simple by design.

For composing shots, photographers have the choice of a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display with 72,000 dots of resolution or an optical tunnel viewfinder, giving some flexibility in different lighting conditions. The DC215 runs on four AA batteries, accepting alkaline, NiMH, or NiCd cells, with an estimated yield of approximately 100–200 shots depending on battery type and LCD usage. A built-in flash covers auto, fill, red-eye reduction, and off modes.

The metal body weighs 320g and measures 115 x 68 x 43mm. It comes in two finishes: a gold-toned metal Millennium Edition and a standard silver-toned metal variant. ISO is fixed at 140, and there is no image stabilization of any kind.

The camera has no hot shoe, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth connectivity.
