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"),{{Cite web|url=http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/DC215/DC215A.HTM|title=Digital Cameras - Kodak DC-215 Digital Camera Review}} 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.{{Cite web|url=http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/DC215/DC215A.HTM|title=Digital Cameras - Kodak DC-215 Digital Camera Review}} The DC215 also came in a "Millennium Edition" version which had a gold rather than silver case and came with some additional accessories.{{Cite web|url=http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/DC215/DC215A.HTM|title=Digital Cameras - Kodak DC-215 Digital Camera Review}}{{cite news |title=Blink Cameras |url=https://www.techsily.com/will-blink-cameras-work-with-5ghz-wifi/ |ref=Blink Cameras}}

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.
