Kodak's 2008 entry compact — 9.2MP CCD, 3x 36-108mm-equiv zoom, 2.4in LCD, AA power, SD/SDHC storage.
The EasyShare C913 was a 2008 entry-level compact in Kodak's C-series, shipping that autumn at around $120 through supermarkets and catalogue retailers. It was the nine-megapixel workhorse of the budget line, just under the C1013.
It builds a 9.2-megapixel CCD behind a Kodak-branded 3x zoom with a 36-108mm equivalent range, framed on a 2.4in LCD of 115,000 dots with no optical viewfinder. ISO runs automatically from 64 to 160 or manually from 80 to 1000, movies record at 640x480 (15fps) or 320x240 (29fps), and images store to SD/SDHC cards or 16MB of internal memory. Power is two AA batteries.
As with most C-series Kodaks, the appeal today is a cheap, characterful CCD compact that runs on universally available consumables. It suits first-time film-to-digital nostalgists and anyone wanting a throwaway-priced camera for casual colour snapshots; the coarse low-resolution screen and leisurely autofocus are the price of entry.
Condition-check rather than spec-chase: these sold in huge numbers. Confirm the AA contacts are corrosion-free (cameras stored with cells inside often suffer), that the camera writes to an SD card, and that the lens barrel extends squarely. A quick sky shot will reveal CCD smear or dead-pixel lines, the main age-related image fault on this generation.
