As per the specs published by Kodak, the camera’s purpose is to satisfy users who are after the retro aesthetic and vintage digital photography format.
The millennium themed camera is available in 6 new vibrant body colors and comes with various digital frames and color filters reminiscent of early Y2K photography in a lower resolution. Besides the common set, Kodak will produce a highly limited silver edition and sell it in a small quantity. In order to boost its collectability, the camera is packaged as a blind box, meaning you won’t know the actual color until the package is unsealed.

The digital camera can produce JPEGs at a resolution of 1.6 megapixels, while digital video capture is possible in the resolution of 1440 x 1080 pixels at 30 fps.
