Kodak DCS

I present to you my collection of Kodak DCS which I started in 2002 with the acquisition of the Kodak DCS 200 ci Pro Digital Camera.
They still work great and I like to take turns using them.

DCS200
NC2000
NC2000e
DCS410
DCS 5c
We would very much like to have some. Thank you in advance.

You have samples of every Kodak DCS, right here.

I'm looking for raw samples, but all it suggests to download is JPEGs. Sorry if I'm missing something.

@IliahBorg needs raw samples to further the work ( at least testing for bugs , etc ) on libraw, rawdigger and fastrawviewer - so supplying if possible a variety of raw shots to him will be a great contribution ...

That's for sure!

Give me an email address
And you will find the CamArchive and the .TIFs of the six cameras in the dropbox

Thank you.

It's done

In Dropbox
See the “Cam Archive” files for the DCS100 and DCS200 and “Kodak DCS Photos” for the other four

Thank you.
It seems that Kodak DCS 410 samples are not raw, but rendered TIFFs. Also, not sure how to open "CameraArchive" files in DCS 100 and DCS 200 samples.

For the Kodak DCS 410, I have nothing else!

For Kodak DCS 100 and DCS200 “Cam Archive”
I talk about it with pieroc091 right here, In “Making a DSU from scratch for an orphan DCS100”
Explanation with pictures.
I suggest you get in touch with him, he had no problem opening them in a few minutes.
And I also included Mac and PC software, in the Dropbox folder

Hi @IliahBorg on my post about the DSU that @Maoby pointed out you can find info on how the DCS works, the CameraArchive is the only non-processed format the DCS100 and DCS200 delivers, they are dumps of the complete HDD inside these cameras, on one of my posts I left the offsets and paddings inside the file that i looked with a Hex Editor and crudely viewed on PixelViewer, the DCS100 is an specially wierd beast since it has a very strange CFA that @SQLGuy found the patent for.
Anyway, if you need any extra info or need any help don't hesitate in contact me.

I found three new pictures taken with the Kodak DCS 410 that might work, I believe.
I added them to the “Kodak DCS 410 V02” folder.
And I will try to take new photos this weekend, with the DCS 410

Hi,

Keep in mind that all the early DCS, up to the 700 series, saved their Raw as Tiff files. There's a small image which opens in any viewer which isn't the Raw data itself. That has confused many, many people....

@IliahBorg I've checked the files on the folder, the previous ones were actually processed TIFF files, RGB888 uncompressed.

The new V02 folder contains both type of files, the ones with the TIF in uppercase are the actually RAW files. Offsetting 75774 bytes you can find the actual picture.

Indeed, in the early days of digital photography, each new SLR or compact was a new adventure.
With his ordeals to overcome.

See here an example of the two TIFFs

I inserted new photos taken with the Kodak DCS 410
See in Dropbox "Kodak DCS 410 2023"

Hi,

There were even quite noticable differences between the 6 MP models, 460, 560/660 and 760 just when it came to the sensors.

A huge difference, a small family photo 😎
