Verdict
The Kodak PIXPRO C1 is a fun pocket-sized camera with retro filters and long battery life, but its weak LED flash struggles in dim light.

What customers don't like about Kodak PIXPRO C1

  • Battery life of 200 shots is short for a long day.
  • The battery cannot be removed, so there is no spare.
  • Max ISO of 1600 ISO limits shooting in dim places.
  • The longest shutter speed of 2 s limits night shots.
  • There is no manual exposure, so you cannot set it by hand.

Verdict

Pocket size is the main draw of the Kodak PIXPRO C1, which weighs 115 g and is only 20.3 mm thick. It slips into a jacket or a small bag for a walk, a day out or a party. The flip-out screen helps with self-portraits and low-angle shots, and the USB-C port charges it with the same cable many phones use. Video runs at 1920 px, which is full HD, and the 13 MP BSI sensor gives clean snapshots in ordinary light. It shoots 5 fps for short bursts. The trade-off is the battery: 200 shots is short for a long day. It has no real zoom, so it suits a buyer who wants a camera they actually carry and who is happy with simple snapshots and a charge every evening.
