Kodak's just announced they're rolling out a new entry-level point and shoot for your photography-loving self, friend or next door neighbor. The EasyShare C180's going to have a 10.2 megapixel sensor and a 3X optical zoom lens, a 2.4-inch display. The little camera will be available in silver, blue, red and pink sometime this August, and it's going to cost you about $120. Eh, thanks, but we'll probably just wait for the Lego cam.

not to nitpick, but i don't think "noone" is actually a word.
I dunno why, but I always seem to pass up on the Kodaks.. no real reason...I opted for a Polaroid point and shoot instead. Awesome pic quality and a 3 inch LCD instead of a 2.4 or w/e. TAKE THAT KODAK
wtffff 10 megapixels is entry point now?? Jeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz I need to update, mine does 3M on max quality.
what is it with Engadget and posts to the tune of "New product released, yawn"? If it's not interesting to you, how do you expect your readership to care?
well, there may be someone out there who DOES care, in which point its engadgets duty to inform them.
this camera looks a lot like the samsung one i have
yea its like (shock face) another digital camera
I got one of these for christmas but it's black/silver instead. Don't let it fool you, it may be 10.3 megapixel, but it has horrible image quality. I even got a friend who's a pro photographer and he couldn't get it to take crisp photos. There's no lithium ion battery so you have to rely on yer dusty AA's and it drains them dead within 15 mins of using it. I don't know why but it drains the batteries while it's not in use as well, so good luck if you keep them in there for a few days because your batteries will be dead. The USB isn't a standard usb but a special size from the camera, so don't lose the cord. It does what it should for about $100 I suppose but there are a lot better cameras out there that does a better job for the price.
Cheap pink cameras seem to be an important upcoming market segment, and I am glad that Engadget is keeping us up with current developments.
Why put such a high density sensor behind such a small lens? It's just a waste of storage space, not to mention the noise issues compared to a lower MP sensor of the same size.
Yeah, I know it's all marketing, but I'll continue to complain until manufacturers stop giving in to it.
