Description — Kodak DC3800
The Kodak DC3800 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 2MP sensor with a 1/1.8-inch sensor size, delivering a maximum still image resolution of 1760x1168 pixels. Its fixed ISO 100 sensitivity keeps things simple, with the built-in flash — offering Auto, Fill-in, Red-Eye Reduction, and Off modes across a 0.5–2.5m range — handling lower-light situations. Composing shots is handled through either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5-inch TFT LCD display.
The focus system is manual focus only, with a single focus point and no subject or eye tracking. Images are stored to CompactFlash (CF) cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. Weighing just 165g and measuring 95 x 61 x 33mm in its plastic body, the DC3800 is genuinely compact and easy to handle.
Power comes from two AA batteries, keeping replacement simple. There is no image stabilization — optical or digital — and no weather sealing.
