The Kodak DC215 is a discontinued model of digital camera produced in Japan by the Eastman Kodak Company. This model does not have internal memory (only CompactFlash I cards), but a 4MB card is supplied with the camera. The camera has a 1-megapixel sensor, a fixed focus lens with 2x optical zoom (F/4 wide, F/4.8 telephoto) and macro-setting and a built-in flash. The viewfinder is optical, but it is possible to use the 1.8" rear LCD monitor as viewfinder ("Preview mode"),[2] though Kodak did not recommend that due to high battery consumption. There was also a small LCD black and white screen on the top of the camera to show camera settings only.[3] The DC215 also came in a "Millennium Edition" version which had a gold rather than silver case and came with some additional accessories.[4]

The Kodak DC215 had a notorious problem with its battery compartment. This compartment, which takes in 4 AA batteries, was made of plastic and broke easily. Consumers often resorted to makeshift solutions like the use of rubber bands or duct tape to keep batteries in the camera.
