Kodak EasyShare C300 Digital Camera Review

If you are looking for an inexpensive, no frills, easy to use digital camera that takes pretty good pictures, then the Kodak EasyShare C300 is the camera for you. This is also a great camera to give to your kids.

I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a digital camera guru. In fact my first digital camera was one that I bought off of eBay for $10. It worked fine for me for a while but then I decided I wanted a camera that took crisper pictures, so I hit the Internet to search for cameras priced at less than $150.

After visiting many websites and reading a ton of reviews, I settled on the Kodak EasyShare C300. It was inexpensive, wasn’t full of features that I wouldn’t use, had a decent size viewing screen and the reviews I read were pretty good.

The Kodak EasyShare C300 is a 3.2 mega pixels camera with built in flash, an auto flash setting, date and time setting, night time setting, 5x continuous digital zoom, 10 second delay timer, and no sound video capabilities. It came with a wrist strap, usb cable, users guide, batteries, and the software needed to transfer pictures from the camera to your computer.

Installing the software onto your computer is easy. The software makes is a snap to transfer pictures from the camera to your computer. My biggest complaint is that there are a few steps needed to get the pictures into the folder I want on my computer. By default all the pictures go into a Kodak EasyShare folder that is automatically placed into you’re My Pictures folder. The pictures are also saved with numbers like 001.jpg. It takes a few steps for me to edit the picture and save it with a file name that I want.

I love the point and shoot simplicity of taking pictures. The pictures are crisp and clear. The internal memory can hold up to 20 pictures but there is a place to use a SD/MMC memory card to allow more space. I use only the internal memory since it is so easy to transfer the pictures when it gets full. The flash is automatically set to auto flash when you turn it on, so all I have to do is turn it on and take pictures. Simplicity at it’s best.
