I have this camera. It has been fine. However, knowing what I know now I would never buy another Kodak camera. Ever. I dropped this camera, and a little plastic piece broke off which keeps the battery pack in the camera. Not a big deal. But NOONE repairs Kodak cameras. Instead you HAVE to send it into their corporate repair center and they instead sell you on trading it in for a refurbished camera. So, I can send this one in and for $250 get a new refurbished camera. But it only sells for $50 more on amazon.com - and thats a new, non-refurbished one! Its a total crock. Just be forwarned. I'd never buy a camera which I cant get repaired locally.

I got this camera second hand from my boyfriend after he bought a new one, and though I like the easy to use laid back atmosphere of it, I wouldn't recommend this camera. It's big, kind of heavy. Even though this camera HAD been taken care of, the battery holder was broken too, it has to be held on with duct tape. Carry spare batteries too, it really drains the juice out of them. I've gotten around sixty five to seventy pictures. Turning off the LCD screen helps.
On the other hand, if you just want to play around and take some pictures here and there on the weekends or whenever, this would be a good starter/hobby camera, it's tough and can take a beating (it's been dropped numerous times on concrete floors and the like since it's been mine).

I received my Kodak DC215 Zoom as a gift for my birthday a few years back. It was my first digital anything (I still proudly carried my analog cam corder, kept my contacts in a paper address book, etc.), so I was very excited (being the technology buff that I am). While boxy and a little on the heavy size, the camera really doesn't look bad at all. Its nicely built as its survived a few perilous falls, however one of the rubber flaps has fallen off over a few years of use.
The camera takes nice pictures for what you're paying for, however the zoom leaves much to be desired-expect to be huddled real close to your subject as you snap away.
Another downside to this camera is its use of the serial port to transfer pictures. This is extremely slow and takes a few minutes to even list the pictures on the camera (and if you've got more than 20 or so to transfer, go grab a cup of coffee). There's no other options for transferring, so you're stuck in that aspect. Don't buy this camera if you need to take a lot of pictures in a short amount of time... I'd say it takes at least fifteen seconds to store the picture after you snap it.
A nice feature of the camera is its ability to be hooked up directly to a TV or VCR. You can even have it run through the pictures as a slideshow. The review feature and preferences menu on the camera is very nicely layed out, and you can easily view and delete pictures as you please.
Overall this camera definetly gives you your money's worth.. however, if you're looking to take more than vacation and family pictures to stash away in your [on-line] album, I'd strongly suggest looking at other cameras. While its good for beginners and the casual user, the Kodac DC215 Zoom leaves much to be desired.

This body design is so outdated, it is not worth the price at all. It is huge and heavy. The performance isn't bad, but one problem I had (I owned 2 - not because I liked it so much but my company uses them) and I had the same problem on both of them - the battery compartment won't stay closed and you have to hold it closed with tape. Also, sometimes it will have a brain fart and the screen will go all snowy, and you will be snapping pictures but they aren't taking, even though it appears that they are. But when you go back to review them, they aren't there. I also had this problem on both cameras but it wasn't as common - it only happened about 3-4 times over a year period (and I use the camera almost daily). The battery life is pretty good - I can usually get 75 or so pics out of it before I have to recharge the batteries. But I would not really recommend it since there are definitely other models out there that are much better for this price.

The camera is decent for the price. What I really don't like is the battery juice just gets sucked out. I constantly have to recharge my batteries and it's really a pain. Plus, the battery holder broke. Now I have to hold it together with tape.
