Kodak EasyShare C180 10MP Digital Camera (Imperial Blue) Review
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.
