Summary: As a multimedia device, lots of fun
Review: Good price for a MP3 player, and a quick time movie maker.

I got one for playing with Internet. It's so good so far. Not only it's so easy to handle to make a quick time movie, but also a good MP3.

For sure, this toy give you lots of fun.

One thing you may consider that is not so good for shoot a pic, but your pic is for computer using only, it's still OK.

Summary: liked video but not the rest
Review: I actually liked the video part of this camera. That was cool. Had trouble getting the camera to acknowledge the smart card was in the camera as it kept telling me that it wasn't. Did not like the software at all. I always have trouble with Quick Time freezing up my computer. The still pictures were OK but I miss a viewfinder, that little LED display just isn't enough. I like the USB cable and the battery life is good. If they gave it a viewfinder or a bigger LED it would help a lot.

Summary: Fun, small, and easy to use
Review: I actually wanted a camcorder, MP3 player, and a digital camera. When I found this camera at about the same price as just a regular MP3 player, I figured I would try it and even if I only used it for MP3s it would be worth the price. But I'm extremely glad I bought it! The imaging isn't that great in low-light, but video seems to do better than stills. I love to record all the stuff I do, and the videos make for great personal memories that I can easily store on a CD. This camera is just plain FUN!

It's not for anything professional, it's for day to day use. If that's what you're looking for this device should live up to your expectations.

Summary: Please dont go in for this unless u get it dirt cheap
Review: I am so disappointed with the product that I am trying hard to get rid of this 3-in-1 combo . It does none of these 3 jobs in any credible manner.Well photos are kind of polarized (multi colored).Dont know why but the picture quality has degraded to absymal levels(i mean in 6 months).I bought this product for around 350 US$(in India ) and now terribly regret the decision. It plays mp3s well but it makes no sense to carry a cam to listen to music .No comments on movie cam.totally flawed product!!!

Summary: Excellent Product
Review: I bought the mc3 primarily because I needed a video camera. It is excellent. I originally thought that the funtions were going to be so-so but I thought wrong. The mp3 player is excellent. The sound is CD-quality. It is excellent and it is LOUD. It hurts to turn it on full with the earbuds in. They are not the greatest but those are easily replaceable. The display tells you how many songs you have and the artist and album name. There are 5 equalizers. The software was fairly simple to setup and it may be a little difficult for people who are not used to computers to run it. It is very quick to load and easy to change songs. The camera does not have the greatest quality and no flash, but it works if you have lights on indoors. I have a standard 35mm camera for important occasions and most pictures. The digital camera is purely for fun and fast pictures. The video camera is excellent. It records really well. Overall it is excellent. The software is easy to install and use and it does not freeze up the computer. I had mp3's downloaded about 15 mins after I opened the box.(It would have been 10 but I had trouble finding my USB port). When you hook up the camera it automatically searches for new pictures and videos. It is incredibly easy to use and it is small and lightweight, easy to fit in my purse or pocket. The included wriststrap is useful for carrying it while listening to music.There are two pitfalls 1.The memory card included at 16 mbs holds NOTHING so it will be expensive to buy another. I suggest buy a huge one and then you won't have to change it. The other pitfall is no flash. But that is not as big of a deal as I thought. As all other battery-operated products on the market, it sucks the power like nothing. I suggest rechargables. All in all it is a really really portable all-in-one multimedia player.

Summary: Does it all...but does nothing well
Review: I bought this camera primarily for its mp3 and video capabilities. I already had a digital camera and its a good thing. The picture quality of the MC3 is very poor, so I use my other camera for photos. However, the movie capability is fun, though of relatively poor quality. I found that it's not worth using the mp3 player because, in order to download songs onto the camera, you have to use a complicated program. In addition, sufficient memory is too expensive to deal with. It would have been worth the extra money if Kodak had offered a flash--the camera is worthless inside or in low light. Two good points of the MC3 are its ease of use and its small size. But, that's about it. If you are considering purchasing the MC3 to take photos or play mp3's, don't waste your money. If you want a cheap digital video camera that just so happens to play mp3's and take pictures, you might want to purchase the MC3. But, I would look into other cameras before I would make the purchase.

Summary: Great Product for the high school set
Review: I bought this product for my daughter for her birthday in September and she doesn't go anywhere without it! It is simply fabulous for quick video shots at the prom (only with LOTS of light!!), carrying tunes on a field trip or catching friends doing crazy things during band rehearsal. My daughter had the software up and running in about 10 minutes and had none of the problems others have reported here. I am buying her a larger media card for Christmas because her current 64 mg card is not always big enough to carry tunes out on a field trip and picture back from the trip without having to blow away the tunes.

It is just the right size, just the right price and meets all of her needs for a video camera, digital camera and MP3 player. I think that this is such a great product that I bought three additional players for additional gifts.

Summary: The MC3 got bugs Don't buy it
Review: I bougth a MC3 on April, and discover that it got a 2-3mm black line on the LCD of the camera!!
I ask the kodak why, but they said it's normal, there is a bug when they design but they think the mc3 can still function so they consider the black line as normal!!!
I really very disappointed about the MC3!!
Think before you buy!!!
