Kodak EasyShare C-195 (2010) There has been a recent interest in so-called "mom's" cameras. These are simple point and shoot cameras from earlier days that (they say) have a quality of image not found today. Some say images seem to have a more "film look" then recent cameras.

Before Kodak sold off their camera name and stopped making cameras, their EasyShare brand put out a surprisingly good product.  

I noticed a Kodak EasyShare C-195 in a thrift store for $8. It had 14 megapixels resolution and a rather large rear screen for such a little camera. 

It was also very easy to switch over from the so-called smart capture mode, which did everything, to a setting offering a menu to adjust the size of the image, the ISO, the quality of the color, black and white, and even a sharpness setting. But what really surprised me was the quality of the images that the camera produced.

Kodak did not cut any corners with its 5x wide to tele aspheric lens, a range of 33 mm wide angle to 165 mm telephoto.

Others have also discovered this camera from 2010. There are now YouTube videos extolling the virtues of the camera and prices are beginning to creep into the $50 and $60 range on eBay.

However, a few can still be found for less money by sellers who don't know the camera has become trendy. A few still with their original box and outdated software have gone for as much as $99.

Please note that the "share" buttons no longer connects to anything. Take out the card and put it in a reader. Not-So-EasyShare?

Shop around as at least one YouTube influencer still found their camera for $3.  Good luck!
