General Comments
I bought the Kodak MC3 digital camera a few years ago as a replacement for the cheap $30 web cam I'd bought about a year before that. The 640x480 resolution camera is good for taking pictures for posting on the web or eBay, which is what I mainly bought it for. I could never get the included software to recognize the camera driver (using Win98), but with a card reader (not included) for the CompactFlash card this isn't really an issue. It does support at least up to a 1GB CompactFlash card.
Using the camera itself is easy, and switching between the different modes is easy and takes a few seconds. The MP3 player produces good sound, and with the expandable memory your only limited by the memory card. All around, worth the $40-$50 I spent for it on Ebay.
