Kodak's 2008 budget compact — 10.3MP 1/2.3in CCD, 3x zoom, 2.4in LCD, AA power, SD/SDHC storage.
The EasyShare C1013 was a budget compact announced by Kodak in late 2008, slotting into the value-oriented C-series above the C913 with a higher-resolution sensor. Like the rest of the line it majored on simplicity and Kodak's Share-button workflow rather than enthusiast features.
It combines a 10.3-megapixel 1/2.3in CCD with a 3x optical zoom covering roughly 34-102mm equivalent, plus 5x digital zoom, framed on a 2.4in colour LCD. Movies record at 640x480 (15fps) or 320x240 (29fps), digital stabilisation and a high-ISO setting to 1000 assist in dim light, and 16 scene modes are included. Storage is 16MB internal plus an SD/SDHC slot, and power is two AA batteries.
This is an easy recommendation for buyers wanting a cheap, working CCD-era snapshot camera: AA power and SD cards keep running costs nil, and Kodak's CCD colour has a warm character that period-digicam shooters seek out. Limits are equally clear - slow operation, digital-only stabilisation and soft results at ISO 800-plus.
Used examples are plentiful and cheap, so condition-check rather than hunt. AA power and SD/SDHC storage mean no obsolete accessories; verify the battery-door latch holds (a C-series weak point), check the LCD for scratches, and shoot a plain wall to reveal sensor spots or CCD line defects.
