I'd like to say I've been having fun rediscovering the Kodak mc3 thanks to this thread, but I'm really just reminded of what a pain in the ass it was! No viewfinder, just the worst lcd screen in history. It's the size of a postage stamp and unlit. You can't see it in the dark, and even in the most perfect lighting you can sort of make out what's on the screen, but you end up holding it at such a fucked angle you can't use it to compose shots.
To put it in context why I actually bought this thing, it was 2001. And sure the photos sucked, but it could do video! in 2001, most video cameras big, expensive, and still took freaking tapes! This was a nifty little device you could just hold in one hand. And it was an mp3 player! Sure, it couldn't hold many songs, but neither could other mp3 players at the time. If I recall right, I think I got it for around $200. Now, I was looking at other cameras at the time, but this just seemed so cool, so I got it. At the time, I wasn't very happy with my purchase, but now, eh.. it's still pretty bad, haha!
