Overview — Kodak DCS 560

The Kodak DCS 560 is a professional-grade DSLR built around a magnesium alloy body, weighing 1650g and measuring 174 x 161 x 92 mm. It uses a Canon EF lens mount, making it compatible with the wide Canon EF lens ecosystem, and supports Canon E-TTL flash metering via a Standard ISO hot shoe. The camera features an APS-H type sensor delivering 6MP resolution with a maximum output of 3040x2008 pixels.

The ISO range runs from 80 to 200, reflecting the imaging standards of its era. Autofocus is handled by a 5-point phase detection system, without eye tracking or subject tracking. Images are stored on PCMCIA cards, and the camera supports both sRGB and Adobe RGB color profiles.

A 2.0-inch fixed LCD display is on board for image review. The optical pentaprism viewfinder provides a traditional optical shooting experience. The DCS 560 connects via USB, though it lacks Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Power comes from a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery rated for approximately 100 shots per charge. There is no in-body or digital image stabilization. Video recording is not supported.
