Greetings Grover,
Sorry to hear about the demise of your vintage DC15 (nice camera in its
day).
I work at Kodak and am familiar with the cameras you have noted. Personally,
I would choose the C875. For the money it is a great camera and I suspect
will do you well.
Cameras today are not built the way they were so the weight and such will be
different. If I recall there were some pretty good reviews on this camera -
favorable. In my own use I have been very pleased with the pics and used it
for a carriage and horse review here in Rochester.
I think you will be pleased. I would consider a case, however, so you can
protect it while not in use.
Good Luck and Good shooting,
Ron Baird
Eastman Kodak Company

You might want to check the Z series cameras out. A lot more capability
and probably would not be much bigger that the 215. BTW - I dug out my old
DC210+ for a haloween party shoot at the local library - they were going
to print out about half a dozen pics per page so didn't need much
resolution. Everything was fine except the zoom is getting a little sticky
- I suppose from lack of use. >> Stay informed about: Kodak DC215 death sudden and awful - need to replace |

What kind of case are you recommending in the event of an unplanned
trans-camera vehicle shunt? Let's assume, for the sake of argument, a
4000-pound vehicle with four ten-inch-wide treads (only two of which
will pass over the Kodak).

the C875 has some very nice features, and a good price point, but NO
OPTICAL VIEWFINDER! Sigh. >> Stay informed about: Kodak DC215 death sudden and awful - need to replace |

Hello, Grover:
You commit motor vehicle "cameracide" and then, dare come to us, asking
advice on a suitable replacement for your innocent victim? That poor,
elderly paragon of picture-taking prowess is barely in its "grave" and
yet, you're already lusting after beautiful, new Kodak cuties?
How can you live with yourself? You fiend, you! 
Cordially,
John Turco >> Stay informed about: Kodak DC215 death sudden and awful - need to replace |
