Customer Ratings & Reviews

The camera worked really well for what I needed. I was taking a trip out of the country to Japan, it was easy to figure out how to navigate and had settings that were easy to figure out. If you are into vlogging it also has a really good recording setting that I used to make Youtube vlogging videos the sound was actually pretty clear. It has a sligh vintage look to final phots but its overall really great and served its purpose.

Awesome camera! Great quality picture and good screen! The flip screen is really handy and it’s easy to upload pictures. Plus super cute.

Love this camera! Perfect for selfies while traveling and takes good pictures overall! Can’t beat the price! Worth it, in my opinion.

Such a fun camera worth the price! Lightweight and slender enough to fit in a sunglasses bag. I carried this camera around a vacation to St Louis and Chicago and the pictures were so cute. I looked up fun settings for this camera on tiktok and it made my images so much more vibrant. The front facing screen is a game changer. I bought an SD card to USB-c connecting device for $30 and was able to upload all my photos to my phone instantly.

lightweight, convenient, and has a great battery life!

The PixPro C1 is a small, simple, camera that can take great pictures, is excellent for selfies, and makes it easy to capture video as well. Design The PixPro C1 is a small, sleek, thin camera. While there is no optical zoom, that means that there is no extending lens in the front - so there are less moving parts to break or power. It does have a digital zoom, which works better than I expected. The top has a power button and a "shutter" button. There are a number of buttons on the back. The buttons have a very clicky feel. They work well and you know when you click them. The bottom has a standard screw hole so it can be used on a tri-pod. The bottom also has the slot for the Micro SD card. There is no door to mess with which is fine for me. You just press it and it clicks in or pops out. It comes with a lanyard. There's a place to attach the lanyard on the top corner of the left side (looking at the back) or on the right side towards the upper middle. No storage card was included. I'm using a 64 GB MicroSDXC card in it that gives it room to store over 9,000 images at the highest quality and resolution, or 10 hours and 40 minutes of 1080p 30 fps video. Of course a highlight of the phone is that the screen flips up so the camera can easily be used as a selfie camera. It changes the display automatically when you do this so it's not upside down. Those works great and has the advantage, over a phone, of using the same, primary, camera for selfies, where as many phones have a camera that isn't as good for selfies. It has a flash in the front as well. A USB C to USB A Cable and AC power adapter are included - so as you may have guessed there's a standard USB C port for charging. Controls The controls are simple and ones that I'm used to on a point and shoot camera. The shutter button is a two-stage button like on many point and shoots. Press it part way and it will focus, press it the whole way and it takes the picture. There are a number of buttons for one touch options like zoom in and out (telephoto and wide), "Menu", Record Video, "Display", Flash settings, Macro Mode, Delete, Countdown timer, Review, and Mode. The countdown timer gives a large number on screen, easy to see over the view screen. There are a handful of color effects - Normal, Retro, Black & White, Sepia, and Vivid. You can change light metering between "Average", "Spot", and "Center". You can change the resolution. You can select "Best" or "Normal" JPG image quality. It's set to "Best" by default. You can set it to have the date or date and time on the image. You can set it to single or continuous shot (it keeps taking pictures as long as the shutter button is held down). The "Mode" button gives you access to the scene modes. Auto is what I've mostly used and I've found it works great. There's are a number of other options like "Night Landscape" and "Beach" for example. There's a "Program AE" setting that lets you customize the EV and ISO but pressing the "Set" button in the shooting screen and then you can move left or right for the one you want and up or down to change the setting. There is "Movie Mode" for taking video but you almost don't need it because there's an instant video button you can always press to start recording. When viewing images in the camera you zoom out to see thumbnails of nine pictures at a time or zoom in and pan around on an image. You can also rotate an image as well as delete one or more images. Image Quality I'll post some pictures I took with the camera. I've found that the picture quality is very good. Colors look accurate and flesh tones look natural. It has a back-side illuminated CMOS sensor so it does a pretty good job in low light. There is a flash for close shots in low light as well but most of the time I used it with the flash off. JPG is the only image file option. You can select different sizes and aspect ratios for your images as follows: 13 MP, 4160 x 3120 (4:3) 10 MP, 4160 x 2340 (16:9) 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 (4:3) 2 MP, 1920 x 1080 (16:9) While I didn't have a lot of issues with images being blurred, I tried taking pictures while in a moving car and many of those did get blurry. Sometimes indoor shots were blurry but most of the time they looked very good. The flash can definitely help indoors but I still didn't use it indoors most of the time. It did a great job capturing video, though it doesn't seem to have any image stabilization, so be aware of that. Video is always easy to capture with the red record (instant video) button on the back. Firmware Upgrade I checked and there was a new firmware available for it available from the support site. My camera came with 1.0.3 and there was a version 1.0.4 available. This is a significant update because it added support for the exFAT file system, which means probably any capacity MicroSDXC storage cards will work with it. It specifically says it supports up to 1.5 TB but I think it could go higher. So if you have a large card and it doesn't seem to recognize all the space available, try updating and then re-format that card in the camera and it should work. Summary The Kodak PixPro C1 is a very pocketable, easy to use, point and shoot. It has a good number of features without getting too crazy or confusing, even with a few advanced settings like ISO and EV adjustment. The battery life has been great - I haven't had to charge it yet even after taking tons of photos, some video, and playing around in the menus. I think the PixPro C1 is a great value that could be perfect for a vacation or to use for selfies especially if your phone's selfie camera isn't very good.

This is a small portable snapshot camera that is an economical option verses using a high-end mobile phone to take everyday pictures. Old school design body with some updated features like the 180-degree flip-up display for beginning vloggers or content creators and for taking selfies. There is an assortment of settings that are interesting like Color Pencil, Sketch, along with ta variety of Partial Color Schemes. And being able to capture 1080p video is a nice option to have onboard. Finally, you can capture photos in either a 16x9 or 4x3 format, each with two megapixel quality choices. Pictures are of average quality and I did have a somewhat difficult time capturing sharp photos since there is no onboard stabilization. You need to be very careful with holding this small camera steady due to any slight movement will blur your photos. Just depressing the shutter button was sufficient to impede stability causing many of my photos to be discarded. Note that indoors turning on the flash does help. The 13MP BSI CMOS sensor is more than adequate for this type of camera. Not including optical zoom capabilities, only a 4x digital zoom, is expected in a device this size and at this price point. The 26mm Fixed Focus Lens is wide angle and using the digital zoom may just get the photo in frame that you want. Or just crop it later… Other positive features are a rechargeable internal Lithium-ion battery with supplied wall charger and a USB-A to USB-C cable. The cable can also be used to download your pictures from the camera to a computer to eliminate the removal of the MicroSD card. A carrying cord is included and I would highly recommend its use to prevent accidental dropping. The one missing item for an immediate out-of-box experience is the media; a MicroSD card up to 32GB is required. Kodak does market this camera in a bundle with an microSD card, a case, and some other goodies for a higher price point. For those of us who already have a few microSD cards lying around, not including one for less money is win-win. And I don’t really see the need for a case since this small camera will fit easily in your pocket.

The purpose of this camera is to be a simple point and shoot with some fun features. The Pixpro C1 from Kodak is a feature rich camera that's about half the size of an average cellphone with the same thickness and a quarter the weight. It has a fixed focus 26mm lens so no zoom except 4x digital zoom. The large 2.8" display is great for reviewing photos or videos, it also flips up and inverts the image for taking selfies. I found it easy to use straight out of the box (after finding a microSD card). The traditional button layout makes use more intuitive with shutter on top and dedicated record button. The flash works quite well in dimly lit indoor settings. A special C mode button gets you into special effects like color isolation, sketch, tone, as well as picture/video quality, and full settings menu. The mode button toward the bottom is responsible for changing scene settings. I found that taking video in the movie setting enables a digital image stabilization not present in auto mode. I would not use this for video unless used with a 3 axis gimbal since the digital stabilizer only works for minute movement scroll. It's fun as an accessory camera you can mount on a tripod and push record to get another POV. The 13mp shots are relatively clear (thanks to the 1/3.2" CMOS sensor with back side illumination) as long as you don't zoom too much, photos taken with digital zoom are quite pixelated so I would try to avoid that. The af assist beam feature can't be saved, it shuts off when you turn off the camera. It would make a great second camera for a disciplined 8 yr old. The retro look and brushed aluminum accents make it look like it hits higher quality standards. Uploading photos to your PC or phone is easy since it acts like a USB stick when you plug it in. If you want a fun, reliably easy camera to take with you when your phone isn't accessible, this is it. It's so lightweight, you'll forget you have it.

I am old enough to remember disposable cameras, that is how everyone took photos prior to the invention of cellphones. That was yesteryear and my Kodak PC1 is what brought me back down memory lane. Upon receiving my Kodak I got a small box in the mail; I opened it up and I was met with a wave of nostalgia. In the box you’ll find the camera, usb cable and a charging brick. First thing I did was set it up and pop in a micro–SD Card. I had a 128GB on hand and to my surprise the camera did not accept it. After reading the manual I found that the largest capacity accepted was 32 GB. That was disappointing, I had to go to Amazon and order one as I didn’t have anything on hand in that storage size. A day later I had the proper SD card and it was immediately recognized. So, the camera is straight forward and easy to use to anyone who has ever used a digital camera. Pick the desired settings and point and shoot. Now after using this for sometime while it does as intended this device requires some finesse. It is quite easy to take bad photos if you don’t know what you are doing as there isn’t any processing done like there is on cellphones. This is a small and fun digital camera but don’t expect Leica or Canon quality photos it is only 13 mega pixels. Video recording is full HD and it is easy to record just press the record button. As long as you are aware of its limitations then there is not anything really bad about the Kodak PC1. Pros & Cons Pros: - Easy to use - Small - Built-in rechargeable battery - Lanyard included - Fip screen - Tri-pod mount on the bottom Cons: - Screen doesn’t swivel - Camera lens is always exposed Overall, there is a lot to like, this is a simple camera and is fairly easy to use. I am glad to have it while I do wish it were a little better it isn’t bad by any means.

Kodak PIXPRO C1 Digital Camera is the cutest camera I've ever owned! Granted it's been a while since I took a photo on a camera but my smartphone has too many photos and videos taking up the memory space. So, this was a great opportunity to try an actual digital camera for the first time in about 20 years. I was pleased that most of the functions were just like my old digital camera, so it felt very familiar and was easy to get started. I read the enclosed manual but recommend reading the more extended version of the manual (72 pages long) by downloading it from the QR code. My favorite feature of Kodak PIXPRO is the tilt LCD - it helps with taking selfies. I also LOVE that it's so slim and lightweight. It takes very little room in my small purse or I can slip it in a side pocket of my yoga pants without having it weigh down. I knew that this camera didn't come with a microSD card that is required, so I bought one in advance but it would be helpful to note that somewhere more visible in the description, like 'memory card not included'. The enclosed manual stated that the max size is 32GB (my card is supposed to have the capacity of 240 photos and 100 videos) but the downloadable manual mentioned 4GB to 1.5TB, so not sure which one is accurate. I also have a suggestion for BestBuy to show the list of microSD cards available closer to the product description, instead of listing further down on the page as 'Customers often buy these together'. The camera seemed fully charged out of the box but the manual said otherwise and suggested to fully charge for at least four hours. The photo quality is not as sharp as the photos I take with my smarphone but it's fine for my personal use. Overall, this is a great camera for someone who wants to keep their photos off their phones and experience the retro way of taking photos. I highly recommend it!

Pros * Very portable * Flip-up LCD for vlogs or selfies * Good value for money, with caveats * Nostalgic aesthetics * A great camera for kids who don’t have a phone yet Cons * No optical zoom * Cheap feeling * Small sensor that limits picture quality * No onboard memory (SD card required before use) I really like the idea that Kodak is aiming to make photography easy by including a modest learning curve; they have a reputation for providing a variety of products that trigger nostalgic feelings dating from the 80s and 90s, such as their Polaroid range and this new PixPro C1. The PixPro is a simple and light camera in my view, one that doesn't appeal to a large number of people. Given that we have our phones with us all the time, it's difficult to suggest adding another item to carry around when out and about. If you do decide to get a camera, it should be one that captures better images than your phone. The PixPro won't achieve that. If your phone is no older than seven years, you won't see much improvement in image quality; on the contrary, you'll actually lose a good deal of quality due to the PixPro's small and very tiny sensor. The camera is fitted with a 13MP 1/3-inch BSI CMOS sensor, a 3.57mm lens (26mm equivalent), 4x digital zoom, an 8cm macro mode, a 2.8-inch tilting LCD screen, and the capability of recording Full HD video at 60fps. Even if these features might not appear very impressive to someone who has already used a camera, what about for children or people who don't use their phones frequently? There's a certain appeal in having a camera on your wrist that allows you to take pictures without being interrupted by a smartphone. That is exactly the reason I have chosen to use this device. My daughter is in elementary school and we make a real effort to keep a smartphone out of her hands as much as possible. She has quickly learned how to use the PixPro and likes using it when she is outside and when her friends come to visit. At $99 the device is slightly overpriced when one considers its specifications and the quality of its build; nevertheless, in comparison to other products under $100 it provides good value. Another appealing point is its portability. The C1 is as slim as a smartphone, which means that small children can easily slip it into their pockets or small bags. An LED flash sits directly above the lens, and because it's so close, it can cause the red-eye effect when you photograph people. If that doesn’t bring back memories, then congratulations on your youth. Again, this is a bare-bones camera similar to old-fashioned disposable cameras, but you can use it over and over again without trips to the photo lab at the grocery store.

4.5/5 Stars I’m really happy with this camera! It’s handy, compact, and honestly just really fun to use. The picture quality is very clear and smooth, and it’s super easy to take photos without having to mess with a bunch of settings. One of my favorite features is the flip-up screen (which also rotates). The screen is nice and large, and being able to flip it up makes taking selfies so much easier. It’s a small feature, but it makes a big difference. The camera also has a flash, which is great because I noticed that photos can look a little pale or washed out when taken without the flash. I’m sure some adjustments to the settings could help with that but it’s not a huge issue for me. The zoom is pretty decent as well, although it is a little slow. I also really like that it has a rechargeable battery, which is much more convenient than constantly replacing batteries. Photos are transferred using an SD card, which works fine, although I do wish it had Wi-Fi. My only other minor complaint is that it doesn’t come with a case, so I’ll probably pick one up separately to protect it. Overall, I’m very happy with this Kodak. It’s easy to use, takes clear pictures, and the flip screen is great. For the price and size, it’s a really enjoyable little camera.

The Kodak PIXPRO C1 digital camera is very reminiscent of the point & shoot digital cameras I used in the 2000s. It really brought me back to the days when small, handheld digital cameras far outperformed any phone camera available at the time, which is not typically the case in 2026. This is a no-frills, point & shoot camera in a compact design that delivers medium web-quality images, best used for casual photography or documentation. Results will vary from sharp outdoor pictures to blurry lo-fi selfies. It’s not hard to get the hang of it, but there’s an art to these little machines. I achieved the best results by shooting in well-lit areas and keeping the camera as still as possible, you can even mount it to a standard tripod for more stability. Suitable for photo hobbyists, the PIXPRO C1 is very plug-and-play with a few different image mode settings and built-in filters. It’s a standard digital camera offering a personal tech experience that won’t involve things like wifi or bluetooth connectivity. I love using novelty and toy cameras; this skews toward novelty while feeling toy-like at times. Get Kodak’s PIXPRO C1 for the vibes, but limit your expectations and aim for outdoor pics with the right amount of sunlight. I’ve had to delete plenty of indoor photo duds, but don’t fret because it’s certainly possible to get good and fun pictures. THE POSITIVES - The flip-up screen is one of the most convenient features this camera has and I love it because I don’t have to guess if a selfie is framed well - you can simply see what’s in frame and adjust as necessary. - It’s very slim, compact, and lightweight. It fits pretty much anywhere. I had no issues carrying it in my pocket, a small purse, or even just on my wrist/in my hand. - It comes with a complete charger - the cable and a wall plug. This may not sound exciting, but in this day and age I can’t assume tech has a wall plug “in the box”. - No wifi necessary, no apps, no distractions! The PIXPRO C1 doesn’t require more than a bit of charging and a micro SD card to capture life in the moment. - There are built-in modes that let you either set the camera to an automatic mode, a customizable mode (custom brightness and ISO values), or modes like Beach, Landscape, Child, which set the camera to the assumed optimal settings for those scenarios. THE NEGATIVES - It’s quite easy to get a blurry picture (which can have its charm). Even with the flash on, if the subject is moving at all the picture may be blurry. - The digital zoom at 3x & 4x takes quality away. - Image quality on video mode produces a lot of contrast, so black and white points crush easily. This just means that in the colors of the video, black points look very black and white points can be washed out. DO I TRULY RECOMMEND IT? Yes, as long as the consumer accepts the quality fluctuation between bad and good, with the best quality being highly dependent on good natural lighting. The whole point of getting a camera is to document something in your life. In my case, I love to take pictures of my dogs at home and any scenery when I’m out and about. I was able to capture some crisp selfies with friends and family as well as lo-fi pictures of home life. There’s plenty of blurry pics to delete, but I also got a few good ones to share online. FINE DETAILS Video resolution is 1920 x 1080, a little grainy, and as mentioned, comes with a lot of contrast. This camera produces images at 72 resolution with various sizes and MP thresholds. Choose between these sizes: 13MP (Megapixel), 4160x3120 (4:3 aspect ratio) 10MP, 4160x2340 (16:9 aspect ratio) 5MP, 2592x1944 (4:3 aspect ratio) 2MB, 1920x1080 (16:9 aspect ratio)

I love this camera its so easy to use especially as a beginner i love the how its a good size and the quality is great. I use it for my online classes or just in general

It’s a nice starter camera, the picture quality isn’t anything crazy but decent enough that you will actually use it. I mainly bought it because I wanted a camera that for one was slim and easy to carry around and where the screen flips around and this one does just that.

I bought this camera because I was going on vacation so I was excited because I was gonna take a lot of pictures when I realize it needed an SD card which it did not come with and I wish someone would’ve said something or it would’ve even said it on the box the price was good. The camera seems OK but just the fact that I had to go and purchase an SD card separate that was an additional $30-$40 if that was the case, I’ve just would’ve bought a different camera that already would’ve came with the SD card. I wasn’t so excited with the fact that I had to go purchase something additional so I barely used it from my vacation. I just took a couple of pictures. They looked OK nothing that would’ve made me say wow but again for the price, it wasn’t bad. I’m not 100% sure if I would recommend the camera again. I don’t think there is anything wrong with the camera per se. It’s just the fact that you have to go and buy something additional to be able to use the camera so if I were to recommend this product, I would tell them in advance other than that it’s an OK camera

really great for you're a beginner at picture taking with digital cameras! really nice quality for the price as well!

Very nice camera for my granddaughter. It's compact and takes great pictures. She was so delighted with this surprise gift.

A good camera for beginners, small and compact. The only thing that I didn’t like is that it is very laggy and the flash is not strong enough for nighttime unless you take close pictures of people.

Great camera small and easy to use. Great picture quality
