5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Entry-Level Camera, July 5, 2009

By	amazonaddict - See all my reviews

This camera is incredibly easy to use, but offers enough advanced features for the average point-and-shoot user. I bought the camera for my older parents who needed a simple camera. I was choosing between the Kodak M1033 and this camera, but decided to go with this camera because it is slightly easier to use. Kodak describes the C series as a line of easy entry-level cameras, and that's definitely true.

PROS:
- Easy for first-time digital camera users
- Large LCD screen
- Large amount of megapixels
- Many "scene" settings pre-programmed for different types of shots
- Very low price
- Compact size
- Plug and play sharing via EasyShare

CONS:
- No viewfinder
- M1033 has a couple extra features (i.e., panoramic stitching)
- Uses AA batteries vs. charger (although this is mitigated by a good set of rechargeable batteries

Buy this camera if you're looking for an affordable, compact, easy to use camera. It will meet the needs of most point-and-shoot users. Do not buy this camera if you're looking to customize your shots beyond pre-programmed settings (i.e., adjustments in ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, etc.), but that should be self-evident, as this is a point-and-shoot.

4.0 out of 5 stars S-I-M-P-L-E, September 2, 2009

By	E. Josephs "omicron" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this one for my 12yo niece. I try every piece of electronic equipment before I give it. I was surprised. It took me only 2-3 minutes to get familiar with the camera's operation out of the box (no instruction reading). I found it's set-up to be very intuitive without the massive confusing menu system of - oh - lets say the CANNON POWERSHOT A560.

Set up the camera mode on a dial switch.
turn flash on/off/auto at a single button.
point-click-picture. And nice ones too.

small problem - the picture stabilization mode only seems to work when the fash is used. When the flash is on, you can violently shake this camera all over the place and it will capture the crispest image when it goes off, even your shoes or ceiling if you're shaking it that violently.

Using a 4GB sandisk sdhc card, on maximum 10mp, the camera says it will hold just under 2000 pictures on the counter. On minimum 1.2mp setting, the counter stops at 9999. Yes, nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine. The numbers don't add up to me for MP size and # of photos, but if upscaling is used ( as I've read from others) , then these picture quantities do start to make sense.

Between the Cannon power shot and another hard to use upscale Sony camera, both wanted this one for ease of use. What they actually want.

My neice looooooooooooves this camera.

Takes about 45min of video too.

If you want wall sized pictures - this is not for you.
Full page picture - It can handle pretty well.
4x6 memories - I don't think anyone can go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous Bargain, July 11, 2009

By	Mary J. Roberts "TRUMAN" (Kansas City, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am currently retired from graphic design and photostyling for catalogs, I found the C180 to be a camera I wish I'd had ten years ago. I was amazed to find it has so many settings (it has ISO as well as many other settings for the most fun and practicality.) It also takes videos.
I took it on vacation with me and made some pretty special videos as well as stills. I recommend this to anyone.
