 Easy Entry-Level Camera |
| Review Date: July 5, 2009 |

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. |
Tremendous Bargain

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. |

| One thing, is that with a 2 gig chip you can get about 45 min of video. we've stopped using our dedicated camera for video and use this camera, although the quality is not as good. We don't have to buy the video tapes anymore.... |
great little camera

| Works well, although a bit slow to recover after a pictures. Easy to transfer to computer. I recommend it for fun photography, for children, teens, elders. |
Excellent value

I've bought this camera recently and I love it. I have only two gripes, it uses AA batteries vs. charger and you have to use SD cards, as internal storage is pathetic.
The camera shoots excellent images and does what it is supposed to do excellently. Video is also good.
Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it for anyone looking for an inexpensive camera. |
Read all instructions first!

| I dropped by Easyshare DX7440 so I had to get something real quick while I get the other repaired. The features were not quite the same, but if you read the instructions first instead of thinking you know what you're doing, you will find this to be a great camera for the price. |
