Kodak EasyShare C180 10.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.4 inch LCD - Red: Customer Reviews & Product Details

Bought it for my 12 years old son, He likes it. He hasn't printed any pictures yet. Would recommend it. Easy to use.

This camera is cute, has ample features and takes really good pictures, but the batteries get eaten way too quickly. I took 10 pictures and a 10 second video and the batteries registered half used. So, I tried fully charged rechargeables and the same thing. Then, I tried a different brand of alkaline batteries, just went through the camera to adjust my preferences and the batteries were already showing at about a quarter used - I hadn't even taken a picture!
The reason I purchased it in the first place was to take it with me on my trip to see my 18 month old grandson. It would be easy to transport and easy to tuck away in a pocket, keeping little hands off it. I have a Nikon SLR that I love, but it's not as practical for the at-the-moment shots and much larger to pack away. Had the Kodak had a different battery system, it would have been a keeper.
So, I purchased the Fujifilm Finepix Z30. Same price range, but more features, smaller in size, takes beautiful pictures and has a rechargeable battery. Also, video playback has sound when played back on the camera - not so on the Kodak.
I know there are tons of little cameras out there, and if you don't mind changing out batteries every time you use it, then this Kodak is for you. If you prefer a lithium rechargeable battery, I would recommend the Fuji.

my nephew love this camera it was the best xmas gift ever
thanks

I should have read all the reviews and info before purchasing. My question is 'is it possible to upload to my computer without going to online and you tube?' I don't care to share online and you tube just to my family and friends through e-mail. You probably can tell I know nothing about cameras,just wanted something better than my cell phone camera I like this already and really don't want to get rid of it, but I'm not interested in sharing online. Please help me.

I have no experience using digital cameras, but had no problem with it. Great images.
