The KODAK DC5000 is a ruggedized digital camera that is made to used in any weather or environmental conditions. Its weatherproof design keeps moisture out for reliable performance in light rain or mist, dusty and dirty conditions, on the beach, near the pool or on a boat. Large over-sized controls mean better handling - even if you're wearing gloves in cold weather assignment or on a construction site.
