Kodak's 4MP fixed-focus EasyShare compact from 2005 — 35mm-equiv f/4.5 lens, 1.6in LCD, AA power
The Kodak EasyShare C310 was a 4-megapixel entry-level digital compact announced in May 2005 as part of Kodak's budget C-series. It was one of the cheapest EasyShares of its year, often bundled with Kodak printer docks, and was aimed squarely at first-time digital camera users.
It carried a 4-megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD behind a fixed-focus aspheric all-glass Kodak Retinar lens, f/4.5 and equivalent to 35mm, with 5x digital zoom but no optical zoom or autofocus. Framing used an optical viewfinder or the 1.6-inch LCD, storage combined 16MB internal memory with an SD/MMC slot, video ran at 320x240 and 20fps, and two AA batteries powered it. Weight is about 154g.
With fixed focus and a fixed focal length, the C310 is strictly a daylight snapshot machine, and today it appeals mainly to digicam collectors and lo-fi shooters who like the contrasty colour of Kodak's CCD processing. AA power and SD storage keep running costs and hassle to a minimum.
Check the AA contacts for corrosion, confirm the flash charges and the shutter fires, and inspect the small LCD for bleed. Like other early EasyShares it may not accept large modern SD cards, so test with a 2GB or smaller card; working examples are common and should cost very little.
