Camera Overview — Kodak DC240

The Kodak DC240 is a point-and-shoot compact digital camera built around a 1.3MP sensor and a maximum still image resolution of 1280x960 pixels. Designed for straightforward, casual photography, it keeps operation simple with a single-point contrast detection autofocus system that handles everyday shooting scenarios without complicated menus or settings. The camera features a 1.8-inch fixed LCD display with 72,000 dots for image review, alongside an optical tunnel viewfinder as an alternative framing option.

For storage, it uses CompactFlash media, a format that was widely available and robust. The built-in pop-up flash handles low-light situations without requiring any external accessories, and USB connectivity allows for image transfer to a computer. Power comes from four AA batteries, with NiMH types recommended for best performance.

The body is constructed from plastic and measures 133 x 51 x 76 mm, weighing 420g — a solid, tangible feel that was typical of early consumer digital cameras. With a fixed ISO of 140 and no image stabilization of any kind, the DC240 is a straightforward snapshot camera that reflects the early era of accessible consumer digital photography. It carries no weather sealing and no wireless connectivity.

Key Features — Kodak DC240

1.3MP CCD Sensor: Captures still images at up to 1280x960 pixels, typical of early consumer digital cameras from the late 1990s.

Fixed ISO 140: Single fixed sensitivity setting means exposure flexibility is limited, making the camera best suited to well-lit conditions.

1.8-Inch Fixed LCD: 72,000-dot rear display allows for image review and composition directly on the camera body.

Built-In Pop-Up Flash: Integrated flash handles basic low-light and fill-flash needs without requiring any external accessories.

CompactFlash Storage: Uses CF cards, a durable and robust media format that was widely available when this camera was produced.
