Things aren’t always what they seem. Buy an Agfa or Kodak camera, and you might think that you’re buying into a rich and illustrious photographic history that goes back to the mid to late 1800s. In a roundabout way, you are, but this camera, like the AgfaPhoto Realishot DC8200 and Kodak PixPro FZ45, has nothing to do with the pioneering companies of old, rather companies that pay to use the famous names.
Both of these cameras are easy on the pocket in every way, being very slimline and cheap to buy. The AgfaPhoto Realishot C130 that I’m reviewing here is on a grander scale, in terms of size, features, and purchase price. As such, it sets out to bridge the gap between the best cheap digital cameras and the best compact cameras, the latter of which cost a lot more to buy. And to some extent, its big 10x optical zoom range and powerful telephoto reach enable it to compete with bridge cameras.
