The DC50’s resolution is a weird-ass 756×504 pixels
Most image sensors have a few extra rows and columns beyond their nominal resolution; this looks like such an extension of the common 720x480.
1996 was also the launch of APS-C which had the same ratio. Curious if Kodak just reused existing hardware for the camera so matched that with the sensor?
