Kodak Announces 10 Megapixel EasyShare C180

By Geoff Duncan January 28, 2009

In a somewhat unusual move, Kodak has taken the wraps of its new EasyShare C180 digital camera, an entry-level point-and-shoot system featuring a 10.2 megapixel resolution, a 2.4-inch LCD display, easy YouTube uploading, and a suggested price tag of just $119.95. The catch? The EasyShare C180 won’t be available until August 2009…making the product’s announcement something more akin to a prophecy in the fast-moving digital technology industry.

The EasyShare C180 will boast a 3× optical zoom, face-detection technology, and blur reduction to minimize the effects of camera motion and shakes. The camera will have 16 MB of internal memory and save images to SD/SDHC cards, and features ISO 1250 sensitivity. The camera will also enable users to upload images and video to YouTube and Kodak’s own online Gallery via a dedicated Share button and Kodak’s EasyShare software. And, the unit runs on AA batteries so keeping it powered on the road isn’t much of a problem.

The camera is slated to be available in red, blue, pink, and silver…but, again, folks will have to wait until August for it to roll around.

Luckily, there is a great sale at Crutchfield right now on various cameras and camera kits, and you can actually grab yourself some excellent cameras, whether you're just starting out or want to upgrade to the next level. To that end, we've picked some of our favorite deals below, although it's well worth checking out the full Crutchfield sale that's happenning now.

What you should buy in Crutchfield's camera sale

It has a 24.1-megapixel sensor for high-quality photography, a 3-inch screen so you can get a better sense of what you're filming, and, of course, the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 lens that the kit comes with. It can also connect with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and all of that comes packaged at , which is $100 off the usual $599 price tag.
