The Kodak EasyShare C190 is one of the many cameras that are targeted at the low end of the price range in terms of compact cameras. Unfortunately in this case the quality of the camera that you get is just not adequate to justify even the low price that they are charging. There are better options available so we would recommend that you consider those instead of this camera.
The Kodak EasyShare C190 is a nice looking camera that is quite compact so that it is easy to carry around with you. 
Unfortunately when that is the best thing that you can say about the camera you know that you have a problem. In the case of this camera there are few other positives that we can offer about the camera.
The first problem that we have with the camera is that it is quite slow, it takes a long time for it to focus and you need to wait a fair length of time between shots. By the standards of modern cameras this is really at an unacceptable level even if we are talking about a camera that is at the lower end of the price range.
The bigger problem with the Kodak EasyShare C190 however is the picture quality which is very poor. The majority of the pictures that we took were either or blurry or too dark. Being too dark was actually the bigger problem in this case. This was just for photos taken in regular daylight, the camera was basically useless in the dark because the pictures were of such low quality.
The biggest reason for the problem with the pictures being too dark is that the flash only works some of the time. You don’t have the option to use the flash when you feel that you need it, you can only set it to off or auto. That means that it is up to the camera to determine when the flash is necessary. Unfortunately it seems to be unable to do this properly on a regular basis as the flash didn’t come on in situations where it was clearly necessary. We also don’t like the button for changing the settings on the flash, it is the same size as the on, off button and located right next to it, hardly a well thought out design.
As you can probably tell from the above our opinion of the Kodak EasyShare C190 is quite low and we would really not recommend it to anybody. It is a camera at the lower end of the price range we will admit but even here you have to expect that the camera will take pictures that are of a reasonable quality. The truth is that you can get better pictures out of a cheaper camera so we really wouldn’t recommend that you even consider this one.
