First saves the first five images taken, while Last saves only the last four in the series. The five-frame maximum number applies regardless of resolution, but may be hindered depending on how much available space is on the memory card or internal memory. The C is compatible with Kodak's EasyShare camera and printer docks, and is packaged with a plastic insert to help seat it into the dock securely.

The optional docks make life quite easy for downloading and printing images. The dock station also serves as an AC adapter and in-camera battery charger. I highly recommend picking up at least a megabyte card right away, given the camera's 2, x 1,pixel maximum resolution size, though cards are available as large as megabytes.

Recommendation Like the rest of Kodak's EasyShare line, the C boasts a simple-to-understand user interface that keeps the fun in point-and-shoot digital photography.

The Kodak C's range of preset exposure modes help you get good-looking shots in just about any situation. The C's point-and-shoot setup and compact, portable body make it an easy choice for travelers. Like Kodak's other EasyShare cameras, when combined with the accessory camera dock, the Kodak C ranks among the easiest to use digital cameras I've seen, avoiding much of the hassle involved with printing photos through a computer.

Its lens isn't quite as sharp as those on higher-end EasyShare models like the V, but given its entry-level price and attractive styling, the Kodak C could make a good choice for a family on a budget. Compact and pocket-friendly, the Kodak C measures 4. The C is light weight as well, at just 7. A wrist strap comes with the camera for added security when shooting, but I'd recommend a soft carrying case for travel. The telescoping lens takes up the right side of the camera's front panel, surrounded by a thick, plastic lip.

The lens extends outward when the camera is powered on, and likewise retracts when the camera is turned off. An automatic, shutter-like lens cover slides out of the way whenever the camera is powered on, and automatically closes to cover the lens when the camera is switched off. A moderate handgrip provides a good hold, compliments of the camera's battery compartment. Directly above the compartment is the eyelet for attaching the wrist strap. The rest of the camera controls are on the rear panel, along with the real-image optical viewfinder and 2.

A series of raised bumps serves as a thumb rest on the right side, reinforcing the front handgrip. In the top right corner is the Zoom lever, which controls optical and digital zoom.

Directly left are the camera's speaker and the Share button. The multi-controller in the lower right of the rear panel navigates through menu settings, and confirms selections when the center OK button is pressed. On the bottom panel of the Kodak C are the tripod mount, dock jack, and battery compartment. The plastic, threaded tripod mount is just off-center from the lens and too close to the battery compartment for quick battery changes while working with a tripod.

The battery compartment features a locking, hinged door, which slides forward to open. The dock connection jack connects the camera directly to the EasyShare dock for quick image downloading. As I've come to expect from Kodak's EasyShare digital camera line, the C has a very user-friendly interface. The full range of preset exposure modes gives users a lot of flexibility in difficult yet common shooting conditions.

The LCD menu system is short and simple to navigate, and the plain-English descriptions of menu items are a welcome change from the too-common cryptic icons on so many other cameras. A Mode dial lets you change camera modes quickly, and once again, plain-English descriptions flashed on the LCD screen make operation straightforward for even rank beginners. Given the simple interface and limited controls, you should be able to snap images right away, with hardly a glance at the manual.

Half-pressing the Shutter button displays the chosen aperture and shutter speed settings. Pressing the Information button once in a record mode cancels the information display, while a second press disables the LCD entirely. A third press brings back both displays. Through the Setup menu, you can disable the "Liveview" function, which eliminates the LCD's viewfinder function.

Playback-Mode Display In Playback mode, you can use the Kodak C's Zoom lever to zoom in or out on an image, with a maximum enlargement of 8x. A thumbnail display of the images on the card is also available, through the camera's Playback menu. The Display button offers a more detailed information display, reporting the set exposure variables for the current image.

The normal Playback display reports the image number, and any shared settings information. You can also disable the information overlay entirely. In Playback mode, pressing this button returns the camera to the selected Record mode. Drive Button : Directly left of the Flash button, this button cycles through the First Burst, Last Burst, and the two-and second Self-Timer drive settings, before returning to the normal single-shot mode.

Zoom Lever : Tucked in the upper right corner of the camera's rear panel, this lever controls the optical and digital zoom in any record mode. In Playback mode, the lever controls the amount of digital enlargement applied to captured images, to a maximum of 8x. Share Button : Located between the optical viewfinder and speaker, this button lets you tag images for printing, emailing, or as a favorite image. A heart icon appears on "favorite" images.

Pressing this button automatically displays the Share menu with the following options:. You can delete individual images or all images on the card. There's also an option to cancel. Review Button : Directly below the Menu button, this button activates Playback mode when pressed in any record mode. Once in Playback mode, pressing the button again, or the Shutter button, returns to the Record display. Four-Way Multi-Controller and OK Button : Located in the lower right portion of the rear panel, this four-way controller navigates through menu options in any settings menu.

Pressing the center OK button confirms menu selections. Pressing the right and left directionals in any Record mode adjusts the exposure compensation setting. In Playback mode, the controller scrolls through captured images, when moved left and right.

Pressing the down directional enables an index display. For captured movie files, pressing the OK button begins playback. During movie playback, moving the controller up and down adjusts the playback volume. In this mode, any images that have been designated as "favorites" are displayed.

Favorites are selected in the EasyShare software. Once selected, they are shrunk to a size suitable for making 4x6 prints, and downloaded back to the camera's internal memory. This lets you carry a larger number of your favorite photos on the camera, without using up a lot of memory card space. Auto Mode : Marked with a green camera icon and the word "Auto," this mode is best for most average shooting conditions.

Exposure is automatically controlled, but a small selection of user options is available through the Record menu. Portrait Mode : The traditional portrait symbol a woman's head marks this mode on the Mode dial. The camera uses a larger aperture setting to capture a sharp subject in front of a blurred background.

Sports Mode : This mode is indicated by a figure in action on the Mode dial. Here, the camera employs a faster shutter speed to "freeze" moving subjects. Landscape Mode : An icon of two mountains indicates this mode on the Mode dial. In Landscape mode, the camera captures a well-focused foreground and background, perfect for wide vistas of scenery.

Close-up Mode : The traditional Macro flower symbol indicates this mode, which enables the lens' macro setting. You can focus on subjects as close as two inches, though the lens zoom position determines the minimum focus distance.

Movie Mode : The first mode on the Mode dial, Movie mode is indicated by a movie camera icon. In this mode, you can record x or x pixel resolution movies with sound, at 24 frames per second. Playback Mode : Accessed by pressing the Review button, this mode lets you review captured images and movies, as well as manage files. Record Menu : The following menu items appear whenever the Menu button is pressed in any Record mode.

However, not all menu options are available in all modes. Information on shooting speed, battery life, etc. We ran the Kodak EasyShare C through our usual battery of tests, and have summarized our findings here.

Not sure which camera to buy? Let your eyes be the ultimate judge! Visit our Comparometer tm to compare images from the Kodak C with those from other cameras you may be considering. The proof is in the pictures, so let your own eyes decide which you like best! The Kodak C zooms over the equivalent of a mm range, fairly typical for its class. At full wide angle, details are fairly soft, with noticeable blurring in the corners and a fair bit of coma distortion.

Results are better at full telephoto. The 5x digital zoom takes you to 15x total, albeit with the loss of quality that digital zoom creates. Macro A small macro area with good detail and high resolution. Flash has trouble up close though. The Kodak C's macro setting performs well, capturing a small minimum area of just 2. Detail and resolution are both good, though the lens produces strong blurring in the corners of the frame.

Most cameras have some softening in the corners in macro mode, the amount of blurring here is a bit greater than average. The flash has a lot of trouble throttling down for the macro area, and strongly overexposes the shot. Plan on using external lighting for your closest macro shots with the C Distortion Slightly higher than average barrel distortion at wide angle, but virtually no distortion at telephoto.

This is the tendency for the lens to bend straight lines outward like a barrel--usually at wide angle or inward like a pincushion--usually at telephoto. The Kodak EasyShare C's 0. At the telephoto end, the C actually shows about one pixel of barrel distortion, or 0. Chromatic aberration Rather high chromatic aberration at wide angle, very little at telephoto. Chromatic aberration is rather high at wide angle, showing almost 10 pixels of very bright coloration on either side of the target lines.

At telephoto, this distortion is much lower. This distortion is visible as a very slight colored fringe around the objects at the edges of the field of view on the resolution target. Corner Sharpness Significant softening in the lower corners of the frame, less in the top corners.

Blurring doesn't extend too far into the frame though. The Kodak C produced soft corners in a few shots, the lower corners seeming to have the most visible effect. Fortunately though, the softness didn't extend too far into the frame.

Indoors, incandescent lighting Slight color casts with both Auto and Incandescent white balance settings, but better than average performance overall.

Less exposure compensation required than usual. Color balance indoors under incandescent lighting was just slightly warm in the Incandescent white balance mode, while the Auto setting resulted in a stronger pink cast. Both results were a fair bit better than average though. The color is just slightly dark here, making the blue flowers quite dark and slightly purplish.

A common outcome for this shot, given the very warm cast of the lighting used. Our test lighting for this shot is a mixture of 60 and watt household incandescent bulb, a pretty yellow light source, but a very common one in typical home settings here in the US.

Overall, a better than average handling of this very tough light source. Outdoors, daylight Good color balance, very bright colors. Better than average exposure accuracy. Outdoor shots were generally contrasty with blown out highlights if there were any bright subjects in direct sun. Shadow detail was also a little limited, but nothing that would raise an alarm for a consumer digicam. Exposure accuracy overall was quite good, the camera typically requiring less exposure compensation than we're accustomed to seeing with consumer digicams.

See full set of test images with explanations See thumbnails of all test and gallery images. Our laboratory resolution chart revealed sharp, distinct line patterns down to about 1, lines per picture height, with extinction at around 1, lines. This is average or just slightly below average for a five-megapixel camera, capturing more than enough detail for 11x14 inch prints.

The camera did produce slight color artifacts at lower line frequencies though, visible in the full-sized res target shots. Use these numbers to compare with other cameras of similar resolution, or use them to see just what higher resolution can mean in terms of potential detail.

Beware that while you might be able to make out what looks like distinct lines at numbers higher than those we've mentioned here, the camera is just doing its best to continue interpreting the lines. If you zoom in and follow them from the wider portions, you'll see the lines converge and reappear several times, so the lines you see at 1, and higher are really only artifacts generated by the camera's imaging system.

The Kodak C's images are reasonably sharp, without obvious over-sharpening on the camera's part. Edge enhancement creates the illusion of sharpness by enhancing colors and tones right at the edge of a rapid transition in color or tone. Noise-suppression systems in digital cameras tend to flatten-out detail in areas of subtle contrast. The effects can often be seen in shots of human hair, where the individual strands are lost and an almost "watercolor" look appears.

The crop at far right shows this, with lower-contrast areas of Marti's hair showing only limited detail, even though individual strands are quite visible against her cheek in the uncropped image. Do note though, that the level of detail loss shown here isn't all that obvious on prints smaller than 8x10 inches though. The Kodak C's lower ISO settings did produce a little image noise, but it isn't too evident in prints.

As the ISO setting increases though, so does the noise level as well as the loss of detail, and its images at ISO are quite soft indeed. At ISO , noise is very high, with stronger blurring and brighter pixels. ISO is available only at 1. ISO images are marginal but usable for 5x7 inch prints, ISO ones are marginal even for 4x6 inch prints.

Extremes: Sunlit and low light tests High resolution with good overall detail, though high contrast and limited shadow detail. Pretty good low-light performance, capable of capturing bright images under average city street lighting and slightly darker conditions. Sunlight: Because digital cameras are more like slide film than negative film in that they tend to have a more limited tonal range , we test them in the harshest situations to see how they handle scenes with bright highlights and dark shadows, as well as what kind of sensitivity they have in low light.

The shot above is designed to mimic the very harsh, contrasty effect of direct noonday sunlight, a very tough challenge for most digital cameras. You can read details of this test here. The Kodak C had some trouble with the deliberately harsh lighting in the test above, producing very high contrast with blown highlights and deep shadows. Noise suppression is visible in the shadows, contributing to a loss of detail there. In "real life" though, be sure to use fill flash in situations like the one shown above.

If possible, it's much better to shoot in the shade. Low light: Our low light testing showed that the Kodak EasyShare C's capabilities in this area will be more than adequate for most consumers, provided they know to switch to the camera's Long Exposure mode for after-dark photography. Long Exposure mode forces the ISO setting to 80 for minimum image noise, but permits shutter times as long as eight seconds.

Color balance was slightly warm from the Auto white balance setting, but well within acceptable limits. Do keep in mind though, that the very long shutter times associated with Long Exposure mode absolutely demand the use of a tripod or other camera support to get sharp photos.

A useful trick is to just prop the camera on a convenient surface, and use its self-timer to release the shutter. This avoids any jiggling from your finger pressing the shutter button, and can work quite well when you don't have a tripod handy. Generally good hue accuracy. The other important part of color rendition is hue accuracy. Hue is "what color" the color is. Here, the Kodak C did unusually well.

The only significant hue shift was to move cyans a bit closer to blue, a common and desirable tweak, making for better-looking sky colors. Button on a consumer line of USB 2.
