Overview — Kodak mc3

The Kodak mc3 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera that doubles as a multimedia device, incorporating an MP3 player alongside its imaging capabilities. Built around a 1MP sensor measuring 1/2 inch in size, it captures still images at a maximum resolution of 1152x864 pixels and video at up to 320x240. Image processing is handled by a TI DSP (Texas Instruments Digital Signal Processor).

The camera operates at a fixed ISO of 120 and uses a fixed-focus system with no autofocus, keeping operation simple and straightforward. The body is constructed from plastic and measures 105 x 65 x 37 mm, weighing in at 198g — light enough to slip into a pocket. A 1.5-inch LCD display with 72,000 dots serves as the primary feedback screen.

Storage is handled via CompactFlash (CF) cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. The 1/8-inch (3.5mm) headphone jack enables MP3 playback, making this a genuinely multi-purpose pocket device. Power comes from three AAA batteries, with NiMH recommended.

There is no image stabilization of any kind, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth connectivity.
