Camera Kodak Sport C135 14MP Deals & Reviews

Eric Schurr (Boston, MA): I recently went on a sailing vacation with my family and wanted a simple digital camera to take in the water. I wasn't looking for something high-end because all i really wanted to do was shoot pics of my kids snorkeling and scuba diving. I didn't want a disposable because they aren't digital, you usually have to wind them which is a real pain in the water, and they shoot poor pictures. My wife bought me a $500 top-of-the-line underwater point-and-shoot Panasonic Lumix but I took it back because it was overkill. It was waterproof to 40 feet, had an altimeter, etc.
W. Ball (Alamo, CA United States): Kodak's bankruptcy and exit from the digital camera business probably means that these cameras will be gone forever! I have the updated C135 in pre-order, but I'm not holding my breath. Amazon says it's 'unavailable,' but my account's order status has the C135 shipping in April. Who knows? All I know is that I'm glad I own a backup C123 in the box. The C135 is supposed to have digital stabilization, as opposed to no image stabilization in the C123 - but the C123 still takes great pics for its intended purpose.
Willie "roadie" (pineapple park, FL, USA): I bought this camera for my 15 year old son who is taking a 2 week hiking trip. He hasn't actually taken the trip yet, but he's been playing around with the camera (we both have, actually) at home to get comfortable with its features and abilities. Considering the price, I am actually quite impressed. Aside from the price, there are two reasons I choose this camera. First, it is waterproof (to 10 feet)and could therefore withstand getting dropped in a puddle or rained on. The waterproof feature just takes that type of worry out of the equation.
Shania (Ohio): My son is also a competitive swimmer, so I fully expect he will at some point also enjoy it in the pool with his friends. The second reason for choosing this camera was the "easy share" of the pictures. You set up emails or a facebook account in advance, then as you take the pictures you choose where you will share them (email, facebook). To actually share them, you will need to plug into a computer, but then it will automatically and quickly send those pictures to wherever you have designated. (Hint: you need to designate an email to send from and a yahoo or gmail account are the easiest to use to set up... techies may know more, but this worked best for me). The biggest suprise was the pictures themselves. The quality is actually not bad. Professional photographers and photo enthusiasts of course would not be satisfied, but for a 15 year old boy or me, this works pretty good. Settings for lighting, etc.

Camera Kodak Easyshare C1550 (Blue) Deals & Reviews

Da Da Gary (Hewitt, TX United States): Purchased this, our 4th Kodak Easy Share camera, to replace an aging M1033 10 megapixel camera that worked absolutely great, but recently developed a problem with the memory card popping out randomly at inopportune times.I don't think we've been able to take a decent photo with the C1550. The auto focus is horrendously slow, and by the time the camera decides it is focused and snaps the picture, the subject (usually our 2 young boys) has moved and thus the photo is out of focus and blurry. This is not a problem we have with any of our other cameras, including our cell phones.
David Sanders (Gastonia, NC): I got this camera on Sept. 23, 2011. It broke on Nov. 14, 2011. Before we get into that, though, I have to talk about the picture quality. At 16 mp, I expected a lot better quality. I did not get it. A lot of moving pics turned out blurry, even when set to the proper mode. The low light settings were also terrible. But I dealt with it because I needed a cheap camera. I knew what I paid, so I didn't complain. For almost $100, I will complain about it breaking, however.
Sharon Heald (Detroit, Michigan United States): If you need a simple camera that is decent then this product will suffice your needs. By no means will this replace DSLR camera's or be better than the expensive ones out there. Other reviews have already pointed out the short comings of this camera. But if you need a camera to keep in your car in case of emergencies, then look no further. Great price for the functions its called upon to do... take pictures. Help other customers
L. Schmitt (Arkansas): This camera was a complete failure. It worked for a short time about 15 minutes than it shut down with a low battery light flashing. I replaced the batteries that came with the camera with brand new Duracel batteries but it still did the same thing. This is the 3rd Kodak camera our family have owned that has had problems. Amazon did a good job returning the camera and crediting our credit card. We than bought a Sony camera which works great.

Camera Kodak Easyshare C195 Deals & Reviews

Victoria A. Twarog (Orchard Park, NY): Two years ago, I bought a Kodak Easy Share, 7 megapixels, for $99.00. I love the camera but decided to buy another Kodak only this time with 14 megapixels because everyone told me that with more megapixels, the photos would be even clearer. Well, that was a waste of money for me. For one thing, my old camera is sturdier and the features easier to access, the buttons are stronger and are easier to use -- even the telescopic/wide lens work better and are not clumsy, like on the the C195 model.
Hal "Halbreck" (United States): They sell this camera on it's ease of use, especially for sending pictures to social networks such as Facebook. And for cranking out little jpeg images to the web, it is just fine...however, it would be nice to have the option of taking higher quality photos, since they also advertise this camera as 14 megapixel. That's a joke, because while I'm sure the equipment is capable of shooting a very clear photo, it automatically compresses every image so that if you view it at actual size (or feel like making a large print) it's extremely fuzzy. This is probably in the interest of allowing you to cram more photos onto a card, but at least give us a choice to sacrifice some space for a crisper picture.
A. Murray "shoppingpro" (Burlington, Vermont United States): The picture clairity is impressive and the zoom is powerful. The battery life has been the same as other cameras I have owned. The only mild comment I would make about the Ease of Use would be that the buttons are flush with the casing, so you have to use your fingertip firmly in the right spot to get the buttons to press. Not a big deal, but a slight raising of them would make this a perfect camera.
Gopowershome (Los Angeles, CA): This little camera fits easily in a back pocket or purse, which is why I got it. It doesn't come with a manual but is pretty easy to figure out. Getting to know the adjustments, light for example, takes a little practice but the learning curve is pretty fast. A wonderful, compact camera that takes great pictures. The easy share feature is fantastic. Just tag the photo and when uploading, the photos will automatically be sent to social media apps while also being uploaded to the computer photo program. This camera is perfect for young people just starting out with photography, as well as experienced photographers who like to have a camera with them but not schlep around the equipment.

Camera Kodak EasyShare Sport C123 Deals & Reviews

Eric Schurr (Boston, MA): I recently went on a sailing vacation with my family and wanted a simple digital camera to take in the water. I wasn't looking for something high-end because all i really wanted to do was shoot pics of my kids snorkeling and scuba diving. I didn't want a disposable because they aren't digital, you usually have to wind them which is a real pain in the water, and they shoot poor pictures.

W. Ball (Alamo, CA United States): This video was recorded as I snorkeled over a reef just off Kaanapali Beach, a few hundred yards north of our hotel (Honua Kai)- not the nicest reef by far, but this video should demonstrate the camera's surprisingly good capabilities, especially considering the low price. It was late afternoon and the water was a bit murky, and I was surprised how well the video came out. I have uploaded the raw avi file (66.9 MB; 44 seconds). This camera shoots VGA (640x480). Amazon processing reduced the resolution and quality, although it still looks fairly faithful to what I uploaded.
Jynna (New Jersey): We recently purchased this camera for our Disney Cruise. Our seven year old son was scheduled to snorkle with stingrays on Castaway Cay and we wanted to capture that experience. We were able to take photos and video of him with the stingrays, some of it underwater. The camera took clear pictures and video. The only drawback was it is hard to see the screen (so you know what you are photographing) and there is no viewfinder but that problem was easily outweighed by the price. We are very pleased with our purchase!
Teachermom (Massachusetts): I was truly blown away by the picture quality! I just printed some of the pictures and they look way better than I anticipated from a waterproof camera - insanely inexpensive at that. I kept the camera submerged for long periods of time and I never noticed any sort of leakage. My vacation would not have been complete without it...serious! Only drawback is the speed at which you can take multiple pictures in repetition. The screen takes a second to process the photo so you have to wait a few seconds to take another picture.

Camera Kodak Easyshare C1505 12 MP Deals & Reviews

D. C. Russell "willow dragonfly" (Pacific Northwest): It doesn't matter whether you are budgeting because you have to or because you want to save money for your future or for some other reason, this camera will definitely fit a budget better than most of the digital cameras out there. One reviewer stated that those who gave good reviews of this camera have probably not owned a nice camera previously. Well, I do fit into that category of not having owned an expensive camera before, but regardless, I love this camera. I have had a barrel of fun wih it. It is easy to use for someone such as myself who does not know a lot about photo-taking. To me, it takes great pictures, with great color, and I could not be happier with it. Mohamed Erman "Mohamed" (USA): I got a 2 GB Sandisk memory card (from Amazon) and a Transcend card reader (very inexpensive from Amazon--$8.54 including shipping compared to $35 or $40 for others--and works great for my MSNTV internet device, about which I was very concerned about finding any compatible card reader anywhere at any price). So at this point I am a very happy buyer. Amazon rocks!! I have been really happy with photos of sunsets, my bottle trees, crafts projects, trees, myself (taken by myself just holding my arm out and snapping a photo at arm's length), paintings I've done, and more. I have not tried the video mode yet so can't comment on that. One note--this camera will hold only one photo in its internal memory. You pretty much have to purchase a memory card. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to take photos that don't require professional results. Again, I love it. Robert H. Woody (Omaha, NE United States): With this inexpensive Kodak, I am not getting the sharp images and color that I would prefer. However, it was well below $100, so perhaps it is unrealistic to expect better quality. It is adequate for photos of kids blowing out candles on birthday cakes, family gatherings, and distant scenes. It is inadequate, in my opinion, for photos that can be used for commercial purposes or even for posting on Facebook.
Groton_reader (Groton, MA): I was looking for a simple, inexpensive digital camera, trusting both Kodak and Amazon for the quality I expect from both. Though I believe this camera will be ultimately usable for my basic needs, I am extremely disappointed at having been lied to over and over in the product description. I expect much better from Amazon.I've only just received the camera and can't really do anything with it since I have to get the SD card to make it work. I'm wondering what other lies I've been told that will spring up once I get it fully functional after an additional purchase I had not anticipated. This is very disappointing.

Camera Kodak EasyShare C1530 14 MP Deals & Reviews

GatorMan (OK): For the price, it's a good value. It's small enough to fit in a pocket, doesn't take special batteries that can be hard to find, and reads chips much faster the Kodak Z740 that I had previous. Battery life is within the acceptable range, and since it takes two AA batteries, it's easy to haul extra. Picture quality is pretty good for a point and shoot. Took me a while to figure out how some of the features worked. Still not a fan of how pictures are uploaded to the computer, although the load to facebook an flickr is seamless. I got it as an interim camera to use until I can get the DSLR I want but will probably continue to use it both because it's so easy to stick in a pocket and carry with everywhere, and to help frame pictures with the bigger camera. Jerry C. Byrum (Santa Paula, California, US): I mean what is the point? If you have a camera and can't empty the pictures someplace. I have windows 8 and it is incompatible, and maybe I missed it, but I didn't see that warning. The batteries were hard to put in, battery cover, insert area feels like junk. but I had another easyshare and iwas happy with it so thought I'd take a chance. Katya "NYCAmberLady" (mt vernon, ny United States): First and foremost, I am impressed that this product arrived so quickly. I wasn't expecting it until days later. The reason I purchased this camera was because my old Kodak Easyshare M883 recently went kaput. I decided to stay with the brand and get a similar model, and I believe that I made a great choice. The pictures are very clear for being a simple point-and-shoot device, the features are easy to navigate, and it has a lot of updated features that my older model didn't have. I was not aware that the camera came with batteries, a wrist strap, and a USB cable, so that was an unexpected bonus. If you're looking for an inexpensive, non-professional camera, I definitely recommend this one. Lawana (NWA): Brought this for my father who is 70 and new to digital cameras. He wanted something simple, cheap and good and this one fits the bill. Its very easy to use and doesnt have too many fancy buttons and the price is very good considering its a Kodak and it clicks very good pics. I wanted to trade my 2009 Sony with this one, but my dad wouldnt have it!

Camera Kodak C1530 Deals & Reviews

Ps181 (usa): I wanted a cheap, working, point and shoot camera with better quality than my old cell phone, and it works for that. Aside from adjusting the exposure you may be frustrated with some of the seemingly technical options; white balance only has presets, and if you don't want auto focus your only alternatives are macro and infinity - no manual! There is a simple mode and a "program" mode with more options, but the camera always defaults to the simple mode when you turn it on. Nathan Kull "Nate" (Sioux Falls, SD): Picture quality is decent. It's not the 90s anymore and you could probably say that about any similar consumer grade camera. 14 megapixels seems like a lot less when you zoom all the way in, but close-ups turn out well (when you get them in focus). Video is 640x480 and again, this isn't amazing, but I'd pick this over any old video camera simply because it doesn't record the sound of a videotape motor (plus digitizing tapes is boring and expensive). Janet Perry "make learning an adventure" (Loganville, GA United States): For the price, it's a good value. It's small enough to fit in a pocket, doesn't take special batteries that can be hard to find, and reads chips much faster the Kodak Z740 that I had previous. Battery life is within the acceptable range, and since it takes two AA batteries, it's easy to haul extra. Picture quality is pretty good for a point and shoot. Took me a while to figure out how some of the features worked. Still not a fan of how pictures are uploaded to the computer, although the load to facebook an flickr is seamless. I got it as an interim camera to use until I can get the DSLR I want but will probably continue to use it both because it's so easy to stick in a pocket and carry with everywhere, and to help frame pictures with the bigger camera. James C. Groves (Gloucester, MA USA): The camera itself is very nice, easy to hold, easy to shoot. I did have a problem with it which is probably an issue only with this particular camera, not all Kodak cameras. However, the download to be able to share your photos through the computer did not work, and the EasyShare cameras from Kodak are not supported any longer. I was not able to go online and get a download. Because I needed the camera for my part-time work, and that work included being able to download photos to a website, I could not use the camera. Amazon, however, was very generous in refunding the purchase price of this item.
