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

This review is from: Kodak EasyShare C180 10.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.4 inch LCD - Red (Electronics)

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.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality photos, September 5, 2009

By 

SF Gina "Gina" (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare C180 Digital Camera (Teal) (Electronics)

This camera takes poor quality photos. Yes, it's slim and lightweight. Yes, the shutter speed is snappy. But the photos are of such poor quality that it's a pretty useless camera.

I bought this camera at Best Buy for $100 because my Olympus SP-320 is starting to act up (sometimes it won't turn on). During the first two days I owned the Kodak, I took nearly 100 photos in a variety of lighting conditions; none of them were keepers. A few looked okay when viewed on the computer at 25% size, but most were noticeably fuzzy. When viewed at 100%, all 97 photos are fuzzy; some of them even look like paintings rather than photos. Most of the photos had awful contrast, too.

As a last test before returning the camera, I took the Kodak and my Olympus outside and two a set of identical photos with each (a park with lots of trees on a sunny day). The photos from the 7 megapixel Olympus were sharp even in the shadowed areas and the sky was a beautiful blue. The photos from the Kodak were noticeably fuzzy and the sky was nearly white. I took the Kodak back.
