I had a Kodak 5mp digital camera many years ago when that size sensor was new.
Great camera.
Many of Kodak’s early digital cameras were plagued with bad firmware. Not all, but most. Sounds like you dodged that bullet.
The most annoying symptom of poor firmware was the camera’s battery voltage detection logic. Unless the batteries were brand new, the camera would display a low voltage warning and shut off. So you had to either spend a fortune buying new alkaline AA’s all the time, or constantly top off the charge of your NiCads. In either case, fresh batteries lasted about 5 minutes.
Well-known issue at that time.

I don’t doubt it, their engineering is generally top notch. However by that point everyone associated Cannon with quality digital cameras, not Kodak.
I purchased a Kodak microscope camera in the late 90s. It was pretty good and cost a few hundred dollars. The driver worked with Windows 98. They never provided an upgrade to any later versions of Windows. A good camera turned to junk.
