I am an advanced amateur user of expensive film cameras for many decades and purchased this as a gift. I am blown away by the quality of these digital images. This is a really nice camera and easy to use – small and compact, too. Although the camera has various settings, the automatic feature on this camera will try to automatically select the setting appropriate for the scene (i.e. backlit subjects that you don’t want to come out dark, come out perfectly exposed). I can honestly find nothing wrong for a camera in this price range. And, don’t let he price fool you – you get a very good camera with additional settings (should you need them) for a GREAT price and can you believe it even comes with a tripod socket! Kodak has done a nice job with this camera…kudos to them! And, Amazon has great prices – keep up the good work Amazon and I will return.

Although this camera is not designed for children, I bought it for my 4 year old grandson for Christmas. I was able to get in on Amazon at a price not too much more than cameras that ARE designed for children. Those children’s cameras are quite sturdy looking, but they had so few mega-pixels and the viewer so small, so I decided to give this one a try. He took to it right away! The little grip area helps him to hold it and he’s able to reach the buttons. He has taken some actually pretty amazing pictures with this camera. It goes through the batteries pretty quickly, but he’s taking photo after photo after photo much of the time he uses it. Not sure how it would do under more “normal” use. I got a wrap around always on case for it that fit nicely and helps protect the camera.

I bought this camera to use for my work in the home improvement business. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money and wanted good photo quality and a large video screen. I needed an SD card to work with my laptop, and AA batteries so that I could use my NiMH rechargeables. I also wanted a thicker body, to make the camera easier to handle while on the job.
This camera had all of the features that I wanted, plus it has a great price at Amazon. I believe that the 3″ screen is an exclusive feature in this price range.
I saw several reviews mention short battery life. This didn’t matter much to me, as I always carry spares. But in the 3 weeks that I’ve had this camera, I’ve used it every day, taking over 300 photos without having to recharge or change the batteries yet. So far, I can’t find anything wrong with this one!
I got a Lowepro Rezo 20 case for this camera and it’s perfect for my needs. The interior is exactly the right size for the camera, and the front pouch has room for 4 spare batteries and a spare SD card. The belt loop is ideal for use in the field, and it comes with a shoulder strap (which I haven’t used).
Amazon sold me the camera, case, and 2GB SD card for less than $100, which included shipping. You can’t go wrong!

My camera arrived very quickly and looked like new. The view screen is large and the camera is easy to hold in my hand. It came with a case, batteries and 4GPdisc. What a surprise to have all this included. Thank for making this all possible. The Beautiful Woman

We bought the Kodak C182 for my daughter-in-law as a replacement for her broken Samsung. We mainly bought the C182 because it was on sale for a ridiculously low price… but I have to tell you, I am very impressed with this camera.
The Kodak is super easy to operate and takes excellent pictures in most normal situations. The video quality is better than expected as well. If it lags at all it is in low-light conditions, but even then it is much better than I would expect from a sub one hundred dollar camera.
The best feature of the Kodak is the screen. It has a very large looking 3″ screen that is exceptionally smooth and vibrant. It is a great screen for passing around and sharing with friends and family. Screen visibility in daylight is actually not bad.
So far we have had no problems with this camera, though we really haven’t had it long enough to judge durability. Build quality seems decent; good for this price range.
Conclusion: I have a two year old Canon Powershot that I use as a backup/convenience camera to my DSLR. I love that anyone in the family can operate it and that it takes very good pictures in a wide variety of situations. But I have to say that so far, the much cheaper C182 has performed almost as well as my Powershot, and definitely better than the Samsung it replaced. I have bought and used several cameras in the around $100 price range (including Canon, Sanyo, Nikon, Samsung, Fuji, Olympus) and so far this is by far the best value.
PROS: Ease of use, Good Photo Quality, Nice Video, Beautiful Big Screen (really love that screen), Great value.
CONS: Low-light only okay, Battery Hog

I purchased the Kodak EasyShare C182 for my 6 year old as a reward for perfect attendance at school this year. He loves to take pictures, and we have tried cheaper cameras that are glorified toys that take terrible pictures, don’t last, or are hard to use. The C182 gives a ton of bang for the buck and is very easy to use. My 6-year old has figured out how to use the basic functionality, and I have started using this camera over an inexpensive Kodak that I purchased about a year ago. Large preview screen on the back, easy modes to choose from, and video included. It’s a little bigger than some cameras, but still easily fits in a pocket. A great choice for this price range!

MY mother is 81 this year and getting drug into the twentieth century Kickin and screaming. This was ALMOST painless for her to start taking pictures. She Still liked her older 35mm camera better but this is growing on her.
Thanks for your time

This is my second Kodak EasyShare. The new one offers a panoramic feature that I discovered on my own and made me jump up and down like a little kid at Christmas getting their favorite toy. I take it absolutely everywhere and always get great shots. I also understand the limitations of flash (closeup shots tend to lose their depth of field) and usually shoot without. This has made for some interesting effects.
