I’ve been testing the Kodak PIXPRO C1 — and it's ideal for those who don't mind imperfection

A brown Kodak PIXPRO C1.

The best cheap cameras can help you experiment with photography and take decent images without spending a lot of money, and the Kodak PIXPRO C1 is one such camera. It’s very compact and portable, and it features a flip-up screen for selfies. Its 26mm focal length is wide enough for group selfies and landscape shots, and there’s a dedicated macro mode for close-up photography.

However, the PIXPRO C1 feels a little too plasticky and hollow, and there’s no stabilization to help with photos taken at slow shutter speeds. Image quality is hit or miss too as the 13MP sensor’s resolution is quite low, and the monitor is too dim to see in bright conditions.
