Have you ever used one? The Kodak DC-120 served me well from the time I
got it shortly after launch until the second generation digital Ixus
came out. It had a wide range of shutter settings and a fast f2.5 lens
of reasonable quality. It was perfectly good enough for website work
back them and it was about as sensitive as the human eye on its 16s
button setting. It did have a warm corner but you could fix that with
darkframe subtraction. It was widely used in early digital scientific
imaging because you could get it to return the raw Bayer sensor array a
feature not present on any other camera at the time or since.

the dc120 might have been ok, but it came out very early in the game.

their later cameras were pretty bad, especially with the easyshare
nonsense, and at that point, there were a *lot* of competitors and
kodak had nothing compelling to offer versus the competition.
