Kodak is set to launch its latest Pixpro compact camera, following the huge success it has had with its FZ45 and FZ55 zoom cameras.

The new Pixpro C1 offers something very different, as makes do without a zoom lens, but instead offers a flip-up screen that's designed to appeal to vloggers and selfie shooters. Kodak describes the new camera as "vintage style meets modern tech".

The C1 uses a 13-megapixel 1/3in BSI CMOS sensor - that's even smaller than the 1/2.3in sensor used by the FZ55 and FZ45. The fixed 3.8mm f/2 wide-angle lens offers a field of view that is equivalent to a traditional 26mm.

The 2.8in TFT 230k-pixel screen can tilt up through 180°, so can be in view whether you are in front of or behind the camera. Video resolution offered is up to 1080P, with a choice of 30 or 60fps frame rates.

The camera is powered by a built-in non-removable lithium ion battery, which is charged by a USB-C port (a new feature for the Pixpro range)

The Pixpro C1 is scheduled to go on sale from July for a cost of $99.99 / £79.99, in a choice of black, brown or cream colors. We'll bring you a full review as soon as we can get hold of one to test.
