Kodak DCS 330 (1999)

< Prev Next >

The DCS330 was among other DCS cameras part of the new Pro SLR architecture. The next generation DSLR with Firewire connectivity, instant image playback, audio recording and other enhancements like a pop-up flash. It was also the big brother of Kodak's cheapest DSLR, the DCS315. The DCS330 used a modified Nikon Pronea 6i body. It could shoot 1 frame per second. The DCS315 and the DCS330 were the only two cameras to use the Pronea body. The DCS330 also featured a special Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) sensor rather than a common polysilicon sensor. This made the camera more sensitive for blue light resulting in greater color fidelity. The 'c' behind the model name refers to 'color'. This model featured a color CCD.

The DCS 330 had an anti aliasing filter. Contrary to the Kodak DCS 315, the DCS 330 only accepted Nikon F-mount lenses. Both cameras featured the Nikon CAM274 autofocus module (since Kodak did not have an auto focus technology of their own).
