Camera Review: Kodak Easyshare Sport Low-Cost Waterproof Camera

You won't find many waterproof cameras selling for under £200 and even less for under £150! So what can we expect from the Kodak Easyshare Sport C123—a camera that's waterproof to three metres and sells for £50 to £80? Well, as you'd probably already guessed, it's a basic camera. It has a 12-Megapixel sensor, a unifocal lens (fixed focal length, i.e. no optical zoom) and runs on AA batteries.

Well, there's no point getting your hopes up, the Kodak EasyShare Sport C123 got our minimum score of one star, which is actually very, very rare. From the lens, noise management, video and sound quality to the absence of macro mode and the small low-quality screen, this camera really doesn't have much going for it. It also has a few irritating features, like the huge zoom buttons when it only has a very poor-quality digital zoom.

It's therefore not so surprising to see that other waterproof cameras cost at least twice as much as this beast. But unfortunately for Kodak, although its price is one of the only good things about this camera, it's not something we take into account in our scoring system.
