Top 10 Camera & Photo Bestsellers – August 2010

Continuing my monthly tradition, I want to offer a look at the top-selling camera and photography items for the past month as calculated by the fine folks at Amazon.com.

This month’s update includes quite a few different items than last month… as summer ends, perhaps so do gadget-buying patterns:

1. Kodak EasyShare C182 Digital Camera (Blue) – this is a really good little camera for under $75. Doesn’t surprise me that folks are snapping it up.
2. Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black) – last month’s #1 item drops down a spot but it’s still a great deal to create high quality, high definition video with a device that fits in a pocket. I love my Flip.
3. Kodak PlaySport (Zx3) HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera (Black) – what’s that? You don’t want the Flip because you want something that’s waterproof? Well here you go!
4. Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera (Black) – This would be the camera to get if you don’t want the more popular Flip. The Zi8 actually has some nice advantages including an external microphone jack.
5. Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18MP Digital SLR Camera and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens – Canon’s T2i is a great entry-level DSLR offering plenty of megapixels and the ability to record video.
6. Canon PowerShot S95 10 MP Digital Camera – the predecessor to this camera, the S90, is my personal point-and-shoot and one of the most powerful compact cameras on the market. The S95 adds new features including HD video and even better low-light performance. If you want a pocketable quality camera, this is the one.
7. Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP Digital Camera – if you’re willing to carry a bigger camera, the SX20IS offers a powerful zoom lens and great picture quality.
8. Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera – one of Panasonic’s great new compact cameras, this one has been on the best seller list for a while now.
9. Flip Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation, 120 Minutes (Black) – if you want a Flip camera for cheap, this one will record standard-def video for just over $100.
10. Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera (Deep Red) – for the second month in a row, the #10 spot is held by a red-colored camera. Canon’s PowerShot SD series has long been a popular compact model; here’s one of their latest offerings.
