PIXPRO C1 Digital Camera, 13MP Compact Point & Shoot with 4X Digital Zoom, 26mm f/2.0 Wide Angle, 180 Degree Flip Screen, 1080p HD Video, Black

The PixPro C1 is a good buy. If your looking for the classic point and shoot than this is a good one. The 13MP sensor is great and sharp, and the auto focus system on here seems pretty excellent. It takes fun "nostalgic" images that you won't be disappointed with. I got this to take with me to get some fun random shots of my day, and keep my phone in my pocket. It does a good job at that, and I have been pleasantly surprised at the image quality. It probably won't be as nice as some of your phone photos, but it also doesn't have that over processed look to them either. You can plug the camera into your phone with a USB C style cable or you can pop the memory card into it or the reader, and its easy to copy them over or onto a computer. The pictures share nicely online and print out great with out without editing. Video mode lacks stabilization but you can pop it onto a tripod and use that to film or set it on a ledge or table and get good steady results. Gotta do it the old school way. The flash is LED on this one, so its a nice soft fill for taking indoor pictures of people close by, but it does not fill a room. It gives good disposable camera like pictures when used. Its a nice fun lightweight stick it in your pocket retro point and shoot and its at a great price. Its definitely better than the generic off brand I bought and returned, it handles focus more consistently, and it doesn't blast out the color and wash out the images. There isn't any color banding on the edges and the specs are actually as stated, not some overblown made up fictitious number like 4K 80MP super 8K deluxe HD like the others (they are nowhere close to that spec). Its point and shoot modes on here are easy to access. It takes really awesome outdoor daytime photos. It has some fun filters and effects and the vivid mode is my favorite. Photos share and print out great. Basically if you want a fun point and shoot for everyday photos this is a great one to get and its at a fantastic price point from a reputable brand. Its fun that Kodak is still making good affordable point and shoots that are not 5x the cost.

Cute camera, bought for my Neices birthday. She was thrilled with it! Will see how good the photos turn out .

Excellent quality for the price. Affordable retro look. Small and easy to take everywhere. Takes great photos and my 14 year old daughter loves it.

Objectively speaking, this is a terrible camera that I would not recommend to most people. No, for most people, I'd probably suggest you buy a used old digicam or heck, go buy one of Kodak's other cameras, like the Pixpro FZ45, which costs the same, has better features, and can produce similar results, if not better. So why am I giving it 4 stars? Because for my use case, which is pretty specific, it's great. Now, I'll start with the bad, so people know what they're getting into. - Heavy banding under fluorescent lighting, even in still images. You can see this in one of my sample images taken against a white wall. This is a common problem with recording videos due to frame rate issues, but in still images? I own digicams from 20 years ago that were budget-priced at the time that don’t have this. This is unacceptable in 2025 and if you take photos under artificial lighting often, this is a major deal-breaker. - Flash is an LED light, not a normal xenon flash. Think the your light on your phone and not the flash on a disposable film camera. This means you won’t be able to freeze motion in your photos and the reach of the light is much, much shorter. - The AF assist light is the LED flash. There is no little orange light to help the camera attain focus. What happens is the LED flash goes on, then the camera focuses. This can be VERY distracting and/or disturbing in dim or dark situations, like in a restaurant or museum. - No removable battery. That means when the rechargeable battery that’s built into this camera dies, the camera is bound for the landfill. No picking up a new battery to bring it back to life. - Poor overall protection. This includes exposed USB-C port, memory card slot, and most importantly, the lens. Most cameras have a lens cap or closing lens cover and the ports and memory card are usually behind a dedicated door or the battery door (non-replaceable battery, remember?). One slight press on that memory card and it might pop right out and don’t put the camera in your pocket with keys or that lens might get scratched. - No saving shooting settings. When you power off the camera, the only thing that is saved is the last used mode (Auto, Program, etc.), not things like exposure composition or effects. Like to use the “Retro” color effect? Every time you turn on the camera, you’ll have to re-enable it. The camera won’t even save the Rule of Thirds grid on your display. - Slow overall response, especially indoors. I tried taking a photo of my breakfast in a cafe and right after I pushed the shutter button and the screen went black, I moved my hand and when the preview came on, the photo was blurry. I’d say there is about a half-second to a full second delay between pushing the shutter button and the camera actually taking the photo. - Small image sensor. A small sensor means possibly poorer image quality in regard to low-light performance, dynamic range, and overall clarity. This camera has a 1/3” sensor compared to the 1/2.3” sensors found in the FZ45 and FZ55. - -No optical zoom. The 4X zoom Kodak touts here is digital, which is like when you open a photo on your phone and then zoom into it. That means you’ll have degraded image quality the more you zoom in. Again, by comparison, the other Kodak cameras, the FZ45 and FZ55 have 4X and 5X optical zooms, respectively. - No onboard memory. Now, this isn’t a big deal, and I’m not expecting 4GB of memory here, but many cameras have a small amount of memory to allow for at least a couple images to be saved without a card, but not this camera. Be sure to buy a micro SD card if you don’t have one lying around, or you won’t be using this camera when you get it. Now, after writing all that, I will reiterate, for most people, I would recommend you get either of the other Kodak models. The FZ45 retails for the exact same price and it has optical zoom, a protected lens, uses easily sourced AA batteries, has a larger image sensor, a real flash, and also takes nice photos with that Kodak look. The FZ55 has an even longer optical zoom, a removable rechargeable battery, and is also quite small and pocketable. However, just because something is objectively better doesn’t make it better for everyone and even as someone who owns about a dozen cameras, I love this camera. Why? - Size. This camera takes me back to the Casio Exilim line of credit card cameras back in the early 2000s. It’s so easy to take around. - USB-C. This makes it easy to charge, as I can use the same cord I use to charge my iPhone, wireless earbuds, etc. Plus, I can connect it via USB-C directly to my iPhone and import the photos directly to my Camera Roll and it is FAST. Much faster than the wireless transfers I’m used to from my other cameras. - Articulating screen. I’m a middle-aged man who has never taken a selfie in my life, so that’s not the draw here. I like using it as a waist-level viewfinder and it’s amazing to use for low-angle photos, especially if you have bad knees. - Lovely colors. I’ve been using the standard color mode and “Retro” color mode and loving it. The colors pop and they have a nice contrast to them, very reminiscent of old Kodak film. - Looks. I will admit to being a sucker for the retro look of this camera. It just makes me want to pick it up and use, which in addition to its size, means I can easily take it out and snap photos, which is the whole fun of photography. Now, as to why I still love the camera despite the flows I wrote above, number one: I predominantly shoot wide, even with my cameras with zoom lenses, so I don’t miss not having an optical zoom. As for the unresponsiveness of the camera, using it means I have to slow down when I take a picture, which is something I think everyone needs to learn (but mostly just me). And finally, I prefer using natural lighting in my pictures, so I almost never use the flash on my cameras anyway, even indoors. I apologize for the extra-long review, but in the end, I think this camera is great, but very much not for everyone (or even most). I see this as a toy camera (yes, despite the price tag). If you don’t own another digital camera, and want to dip your toes into the world of digicams, I’d suggest you buy something else, even within Kodak’s own family of PixPro cameras. You’d be getting much more for your hard-earned money and would still get those lovely Kodak-colored photos. But, if you’re like me and you already own other digital cameras, understand the C1’s limitations, and just want something small to everyday carry to document little moments of your life, this could be the right toy camera for you.

Very lightweight and compact. The camera quality is acceptable. For that price, it's exactly what I expected.

This is a terrible camera. Buy literally any other digital camera around the same price and you will get better results. I used this one night out with some friends and ended up scrapping all of the photos because they were so blurry and such horrible quality. The camera has been returned and replaced with a PIXPRO FZ45. There is no built-in image stabilization, so unless you are completely still, the pictures will be blurry. Even when I was sitting down with my arms resting on a table, they were still blurry. The lens is also not protected, so unless you keep it in a case at all times, it will get scratched when it's not in use. The zoom is also digital and not optical, which looks terrible. The screen is clunky, and the rotation is annoying. The buttons are cheap and unresponsive. Overall, the camera is a cheaply built, gimmicky piece of garbage, and I would recommend buying anything else. It's shocking that a company like Kodak would produce something like this

VERY GOOD! GOOD PICTURES, SIMPLE TO USE.

Compact size, retro photos. Decent quality. Fun to use
