Summary: The Kodak 110 of movie cameras
Review: I just received the product, and it is GREAT. There are a few drawbacks, like no flash, and no low light quality, but it is more than adequate if used for what it is designed. If you want professional quality photographs, this is not the camera for you, you need a mega-pixel camera that looks like an SLR. However, if you are someone who would use a Kodak 110 camera, or an old 8mm Brownie camera, with their small format film, and don't want to lug around a ton of equipment, this is the camera for you. I never thought I could have a camera that fits in my shirt pocket, yet take movies with it. It takes much better pictures than I thought it would when I ordered it. We needed a camera to take on offroad Jeep adventures (Tellico, Windrock ATV, and others), and this little camera exactly fits that bill. You will need to order a new compact flash card, as the 16 meg does not hold much. I would suggest getting the largest you can afford. I already had a 128MB one. I have not tried using it as an MP3 player, but if it is as good as it is a movie and still camera, I am sure I will be pleased.

Summary: Excelent Performance
Review: I've owned a Kodak mc3 for 2 years. It is easy to use and perfect for someone with a small budget. It is compact, durable, and multifunctional. The picture quality is terrible, but if you dont plan on printing high quality photos (like me) you will find that this leads to smaller file sizes. I use this camera extensively for my websites. dont buy it if you olan on printing a lot of pictures. Pros:
inexpensive
small file size
small
durable Cons:
poor resolution if your looking for an inexpensive, reliable camera for online or screen viewing, this is the camera for you.

Summary: Don't Buy This
Review: It took about 3 minutes to set up this product and start using it, which was very good. But, you have to light up your house like a Hollywood set to get enough light for the video or pictures. This was not meant to be used indoors. The mp3 player was good, not great. The problem was that I couldn't get the synchronization software to work and I couldn't transer files between my computer and the mc3, which is the whole point. I called customer service and talked to someone immediately. The lady who answered was very nice but knew almost nothing about computers or the mc3. We were on the phone for about 2 hours when the software finally kicked in on it's own. The next day I took some pictures to send in an email and the software didn't work again. I couldn't call customer support because they weren't open on the weekend and I didn't want to call anyway because they really didn't help the first time. Overall, even if the software works, this really isn't worth it. I would wait until something better comes along.

Summary: I LOVE IT - You gotta have this mc3
Review: Just bought this dynamic digi cam few days ago. I love it. I take it everywhere for either taking pics or shooting movies. Its compact design and fresh looks makes me love it even more. The best part is with the price you pay, you get the entire digi cam, digi movie cam, mp3 player and LCD screen functions in one. Can't beat it. Although the resolution is not that good, but it fits perfectly for me since I send pics to my friends all the time via e-mail. The cons - it's impossible to take the pic in dark since mc3 doesn't include the flash light. However, I am still able to take pics if I turn lights on in my room. Well, about the file transfer from your mc3 to the pc, it's faster then I expected. Download all 16 MB of information via USB cable only within 30 sec. (I didn't count it but it seems less then that) In conclution; this is something you defiantly needed if you are looking for FUN. I recommend that you buy a larger CF card if you plan to take a long vacation.

Summary: mc3: Buy It!! It's worth the $$$
Review: Kodak mc3: Versatile and Inexpensive Gadget It's small, light, and rugged -- I take it everywhere -- school, the mall, vacation, hiking. I've used it for: mp3s on a airplane, videos of fish while waist deep in the ocean, videos while sledding/snowboarding -- even duct taped it to a friends model airplane and flew it around -- (cool movie)! Pictures: they look good if taken outdoors, or with some daylight -- (the lack of a flash is a clue to use mc3 mostly outdoors). Video: it got two quality settings -- one is great if you've got a lot of motion and detail. The other is if you want small files (for email) or you want LONG (minutes) movies. The length of a movie clip is limited to the amount of free space on the card. Files are QuickTime -- but the software can change them to .avi. (HINT: buy the video cable -- and recorded your videos to VHS tape.) mp3: has played 8 to 256 kbps mp3s; it has equalizer/repeat/shuffle; it displays title/artist/album info. Comes with a ripper and player software (RealJukebox for PCs; MusicMatch for Mac). Nice that it doesn't encrypt the mp3 file. (Comes w/ earbuds -- but I like the speaker. (Earbuds are nice for mp3s on the pc.)) Software: I've got both mac and pcs -- it was easy to install on both. Was able to get stuff on/off easy -- but I like the explorer window more than the mac. The picture and video editing programs are very cool! Go google search for "allan harris 1180 WHAM" for some videos a radio station has done using the mc3 product. Three Comments: 1st -- you're going to use this A LOT -- go buy rechargeable batteries (two sets). (Although alkalines are handy when away from the charger.) 2nd -- Compact Flash Cards -- Big cards hold more, but cost more. What I do for a day is carry a 32MB card (w/ music) and three 8MB cards (for videos/pictures). Upload often. Or buy more cards. 3rd -- No light comes from the display, it is just a reflection. The display quality is like a good color display PDA. Pluses -- It's MUCH easier to see the display outdoors in direct sun light vs other camera displays -- and it's MUCH easier on the batteries. Minus -- It's harder to see it indoors -- but I think it is useable. (FYI: I've noticed that indoor pictures look better on the pc, than on the mc3 display.) Summary: I love it! Simple controls -- my five year old uses it to take pictures and play music ("Sesame Street" on the airplane). I carry with me in a pack or by the wrist strap listening to mp3s all the time. When I want a picture or video, mc3 is there. Expensive cameras and video equipment are for special occasions -- the mc3 is for my every day stuff. Punch Line: Simple, fun, easy, rugged, versatile, and inexpensive. Simple Elegance.

Summary: Could be better and could be worse
Review: Overall i would have to say this player is an ok device. i mean for the year it came out in (2000) it was the bomb. But now that so many other much kooler products have cam out i definitly would not recomened gettting it now. If you are serching for the same capacitys of the kodak mac3 i would say go for an Archos. It is a little more but also i s alot better. it can play divx because you can download movies stright from your tv or computer. if not the Archos Av 140 then go for the RCA LYRA 20 gb. If your looking for a low quality mc3 player but it gets the job done go for this one.

Summary: good concept, flawed follow-through
Review: the camera itself works great, and it's a great idea. the mp3 samples pre-loaded onto the device sound great with a regular cd player tape adapter in the car. however, i could not get my computer to connect to the device. i even bought a USB port because my computer (a beige mac g3) didn't have one. and still, nothing. i'm on the fence whether to return it or not because i do really like the camera itself, and i'm hoping i can get it to work, but i'm not very optimistic about it. i'm wondering if it has compatibility problems with computers that aren't exactly new (despite fitting all the system requirements).
