Summary: Cashy but NO Flashy
Review: This camera was such a disappointment. I purchased it brand new before it was even on the shelves at Best Buy. The salespeople didn't even know about it so they weren't very helpful as to it's features. I didn't buy it for it's mp3 feature but it was an added bonus. The video footage was nice but consumed a lot of space. It also was not very responsive and took a while to get it going... by that time the moment was gone. When I took pictures, they seemed a bit on the green blah side. My children looked ill that I didn't even want to put the photos on our family web site. There is NO FLASH, nor is it expandable to accomodate one in the future. I (purchased) mine when it first came out, but (...) this is (not the best deal I found). If you want a good digital camera with no flash, try a polaroid (...).... it is comparable to this quality. If you want a good camera WITH a flash, you won't find it here. Try a Minolta, Olympus, or Polaroid. Kodak focused too much on too many features... they should stick to just taking good pictures...

Summary: Good for what it is
Review: This camera/camcorder/mp3 player does a good job since it is serving triple duty. The camera feature takes alright pictures as long as you leave them normal size and don't try to enlarge them any. The mp3 function is very useful but tends to eat batteries. You should definately plan to get some rechargeable batteries with this camera.

Summary: Cool gadget!
Review: This is a really cool gadget, a must have for other gadget lovers. I travel a lot, and it has reserved a permanent place in my travel kit. The MP3 player is great for the plane, and the camera and camcorder are great for when I land.

Keeping that in mind, if you have a specific need for a digital camera, camcorder, or MP3 player, it does not do a fantastic job at any of these. The camera doesn't have great resolution, and it takes a long time for the lightmeter to adjust for genuine "snapshot" use. The lack of backlighting on the LCD screen preserves batteries, but often make picture taking difficult even where there is enough exposure light. The MP3 player does not have all the bells and whistles that dedicated MP3 players have.

That said, I still love this device.

Summary: Nice cool product!
Review: This vidcam/cam/mp3 player is great! It works great, it takes great videos (on best quality 20fps), ok stills, and the mp3 sound quality is very high. Also has presets for rock, voice, pop and some others. The only dissapointment is the reflective dislpay (not backlit), but you can still see it fine, so don't let that stop you from getting it. Connecting to your computer if you have Windows XP to put mp3s on it can be a hassle at first, but all you need to do is download this plugin from kodak.com, and install the realjukebox software on the cd, and there you go. All in All, this is great camera to start you off,or even to keep you at. Also has a video out so you can connect it to your TV. Good Luck!!

Summary: A fun cool useful toy!
Review: What I like most about this wonderful device is all of the things it can do with just a flip of a switch. If you are listening to one of your favorite songs, and suddenly see something you want to photograph or film, you are ready! I found the mc3 exceptionally easy to use and intuitive. The software was a bit less easy, at least for me, but after a little playing around, I got the hang of it and was amazed at the quality of the pics, movies and cd-quality sound. I didn't like that the mc3 does not come with a paper manual, so if you have to look something up, you have to pore through the 90+ page manual on the CD. Also, the battery life seems very short, especially after transferring files. I noticed that the batteries will play music for a very long time though, even after you can't use the other features. Over-all, i love this device, and I am sure i will bring it wherever i go, especially when summer comes. It seems to be the perfect thing for the beach, camping, or any place where you want to bring music or fun with you. And the price makes it even easier :)
