In a somewhat unusual move, Kodak has taken the wraps of its new EasyShare C180 digital camera, an entry-level point-and-shoot system featuring a 10.2 megapixel resolution, a 2.4-inch LCD display, easy YouTube uploading, and a suggested price tag of just $119.95. The catch? The EasyShare C180 won’t be available until August 2009…making the product’s announcement something more akin to a prophecy in the fast-moving digital technology industry.

At this year’s PMA show, Kodak has announced four new additions to its Easyshare lineup of consumer-oriented digital cameras, including two mid-range shooters with high ISO sensitivity, big optical zooms, and image stabilization, and two budget-friend entry-level cameras.
First up, the Easyshare Z712 IS Zoom Digital Camera goes after serious amateurs and aspiring photographers who may not want to go all the way to DSLRs. The Z712 offers a 7.1 megapixel resolution, 12× optical zoom lens (36–432mm equivalent), and optical image stabilization. Kodak says the Z712 offers “best in class” click-to-capture performance of just 0.26 seconds, and the camera sports ISO sensitivity up to 1,600 (3,200 if you’re willing to drop to 1.2 megapixels). The Z712 sports a 2.5-inch LCD viewfinder, 32 MB of internal memory (and stores images to SD/MMC cards), and can capture VGA-resolution video at 30 frames per second. The Z712 should be available in April at a suggested price of $299.95.

The unit also features 1 2-inch LCD viewfinder display, 32 MB of internal memory and expansion storage via SD/MMC memory cards, ISO sensitivity up to 400 (through it’ll creak to 800 at a 1.9 megapixel resolution), 18 scene and 3 color modes, QuickTime video capture (VGA at 10.5 fps, QVGA at 20 fps), USB 2.0, and AV output via NTSC or PAL.
