The Kodak MC3 is an ugly thing. Its squat, it has a big beady eye looking out on the world, and it tries to do everything.
Sadly, its not really very good. The photos are very poor, with odd noise and interference on them, some even have big lines down the middle. The videos are OK, but unless you want to make 10 minutes (on a 128mb CF card) you have to use the low quality, which at 10 frames per second, and highly compressed, is not very good. The high quality video improves somewhat, but is still only at 320x240, and is very highly compressed (it records in dot.mov format).
The MP3 player trys to give more functionality, but even with the auto turn off screen function, you'd be lucky to get an hour and a half out of the 3 triple A batterys, which not only cost a lot, are very awkward to charge (3 at a time?)
And the battery life is terrible. It would be nice to see an AC plug next to the video out, or instead of the tripod. It would also be nice to see a webcam functionality, but that would drain the batterys very fast indeed.
Overall, that cameras bad, the videos are bad and the MP3s are bad. The only good thing it does is look ugly.

(+) Ultra-compact dimensions, fun automatic tools, good performance for the asking price (-) Cluttered menu layout, camera buttons are scarce, specs are almost identical to the Samsung ES15
