Our take
The Kodak RODPJC100W is worth considering when a projector needs to fit in a pocket and run from its own battery for a modest personal image. Its model-specific sources document WVGA pixels and wireless features, but the listed 100 lumens are not labeled ANSI and do not support a bright-room promise.
Very small, dark-room viewing when carrying convenience outweighs image scale.
Do not choose it for classroom slides, large groups, a large screen, fine subtitles, or use with lights on. Its current Amazon variant, app compatibility, battery condition, and included accessories are unverified.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The licensed datasheet identifies the exact RODPJC100W model and wireless-mirroring functions.
- B&H lists a native 854 × 480 DLP image, LED illumination, and a 2500 mAh battery.
- At about 5.8 ounces, the documented pocket size supports genuinely portable use.
What to weigh up
- The native WVGA panel has far less detail than HD or Full HD models.
- The 100-lumen listing does not establish an ANSI brightness value.
- An aged battery and current phone/app compatibility must be checked on the exact unit.

What the features mean for you
Portability is the decision, not screen size
The RODPJC100W is a small DLP projector listed at roughly 5.8 ounces with a rechargeable 2500 mAh battery. That makes it a different kind of product from a classroom projector or a ceiling-mounted home theater unit. It can be carried for a short, personal viewing session when an outlet is inconvenient. The same small form factor also constrains the image: a tiny projector with limited light output is not automatically useful on a large wall. Decide first whether the real priority is carrying convenience, then compare brightness and detail with the actual room.
WVGA does not become HD through input support
B&H's model page specifies native 854 × 480 WVGA resolution in a 16:9 image. A connected phone or video source can carry a higher-resolution file, but the projector still displays its native pixel grid. This level of detail is restrictive for small text, spreadsheets, dense interface elements, or subtitles that need to remain crisp. It may be acceptable for a simple video image kept modest in size and viewed in darkness. Compare native horizontal pixels rather than assuming that wireless or HDMI compatibility means the picture is Full HD.
Do not convert the lumen figure
The B&H listing gives 100 lumens, but its specification table does not label that figure ANSI. The Kodak-licensed datasheet confirms the model and connectivity, not a standardized output value. This review therefore leaves ANSI lumens unknown rather than comparing the number with projectors whose sources explicitly say ANSI. The practical placement is a small, very dark-room image. A larger screen or any ambient light makes low-output models much less forgiving. Brightness also declines with use, and this profile cannot tell how much light a used unit produces today.
Check the phone connection and audio path
Kodak's licensed datasheet lists Wi-Fi and mobile wireless mirroring, HDMI, and microSD. Those facts make a compact source path possible, but current phone operating systems and apps may change, and the saved evidence does not establish which current app versions work. Check the specific phone and connection method before purchase. The model page describes a small integrated speaker; that may be adequate for personal use but should not be mistaken for room-filling sound. If an external source or headphones are part of the plan, verify the exact cables and output on the unit being offered.
Battery age and offer identity matter
The saved model sources identify the projector but do not confirm that historical ASIN B0794CJ3TT is a current exact Amazon offer. B&H marks its own product page as no longer available there, which is not proof of current availability elsewhere. Battery chemistry and age make a used unit's runtime especially uncertain; ask whether it charges, retains power away from the adapter, focuses evenly, and includes its remote and cables. This profile covers the RODPJC100W model, not a current individual unit. The source-based evaluation is not a hands-on test.
What else to compare
Optoma PT105 is another discontinued pocket DLP projector, with a manufacturer-specified 75 ANSI lumens. AAXA P6X is larger and has a WXGA panel, though its saved brightness claims also use non-ANSI wording.
Before you buy
Is the RODPJC100W native 720p or Full HD?
No. B&H identifies native 854 × 480 WVGA output; higher-resolution files are reduced to that panel.
Can I compare its 100 lumens with ANSI-rated models?
Not from the cited table. B&H's 100-lumen entry is not labeled ANSI, so the comparable ANSI field stays unknown.
Does the built-in battery guarantee portable runtime today?
No. The 2500 mAh specification is for the model; battery age and condition determine the runtime of a specific unit.
Where can I check the current price?
Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.

The decision
The Kodak is a narrow portability choice for dark, personal viewing. Keep its WVGA image, non-ANSI lumen figure, battery age, and exact offer limits visible.
