Is the Kodak DC5000 worth buying used?

Kodak DC5000 is worth judging as its own Kodak pocket compact body, not just as a generic old compact. Start with condition, the exact battery/card setup, and whether its look fits what you want to shoot.
What owners like
Kodak DC5000 works best when you want small-bag snapshots, flash photos, mirror selfies, and a clean pocket-camera look rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its CCD and 30mm-60mm (2.0X zoom) are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Kodak DC3200, Kodak DC3400, Canon PowerShot S20, Fujifilm FinePix 1400 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
