Kodak EasyShare Sport C123 review

This camera's two biggest selling points - funky colours aside - are its size and waterproof case, the latter of which justifies the 'Sport' in its name. It also explains the kid-proof construction. The question is, how does so small a snapper perform in day to day use? We ran the 12 megapixel EasyShare Sport C123 through our regular rigorous tests to find out. There's nothing subtle about this camera. It's small, sure, but the back is a screwed in panel housing the small 2.4in screen, the rear-mounted buttons are rubber and the chunky handgrip is home to two AA batteries. Kodak supplies a pair of cells to get you started, but they're not rechargeable. The lack of a bespoke battery pack isn't the only compromise, either: there's no optical zoom, only a 5x digital version, and the shutter release doesn't pause at the half way point to meter the scene. You might wonder why you'd want to do this on a camera with a fixed focus lens as it obviously doesn't need to shuffle about the glass to fix the focus. But it would still be good to have the option to meter the light directly off something that isn't in the centre of the field of view and then re-frame before shooting.

Kodak EasyShare Sport

The Kodak EasyShare Sport C123 didn’t fare very well in our lab tests, however its extremely low price may earn this model a place in your travel bag. Although the limited hardware–made for value not performance–prevents it from being a feasible everyday model, we see the $80 Sport as a decent potential accessory, even for seasoned photographers. On the heels of our Kodak EasyShare Max review, we were pretty nervous about what sort of color accuracy to expect from the Sport. The $330 Max earned one of the worst color scores we’ve ever seen, largely due to poor automatic white balance and the lack of a custom setting. The Sport also lacks custom white balance, and carries one-fourth the price tag, so we feared the worst on testing day. When the dust settled, our little Sport recorded an error value of 3.48. That’s not great, but enough for us the breath a collective sigh of relief on Kodak’s behalf. Still, problem areas are spread evenly across the spectrum, with greens and blues especially far off. Flesh tones aren’t too bad though, so at least human subjects will be rendered somewhat accurately. More on how we test color. The EasyShare Sport is so inexpensive that we had difficulty finding comparable models for our review.

Digital Camera Reviews: Choose the Best Compact 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. There are two ways of looking at things: you could say that the Kodak Sport is a lump of plastic made from melted down Playmobil cars and that it feels a bit like a toy; or you could say that it's made from hard and reassuringly thick plastic that's sure to be sturdy. Although the low-cost plastics aren't particularly flattering, the chunky handle with rubber grip helps you keep hold of the camera nicely, even when your thumb's busy pressing the rubbery buttons on the back. It's also pretty good for kids' little hands to grab onto. The camera's design is simple. In fact, you'll only really need to use the buttons on the top edge of the camera for day-to-day use (on/off, shooting mode, flash). The zoom should be avoided like the plague (see inset) and you won't need to go into the clear, concise menus very often. There is, however, one problem.

Kodak EasyShare Sport C123

At just $79.99 (direct), the 12-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Sport C123 is about as inexpensive a digital camera as you can find. It comes inside a shrink-wrapped package, lending it the appearance of something you'd place next to the action figures or Skittles in a Target or Walmart. But it is a true digital camera - just not a very advanced one. It's waterproof to 10 feet, dustproof, and generally well-guarded against the elements, and for the casual vacationer looking for the absolute simplest experience possible, it will deliver. It's also a great camera for kids to play around with. But the Sport has a fixed focus (no zoom) for still shots, offers no image stabilization, and shoots only low-resolution video. Excellent photos and video from this camera will likely be an exception rather than the norm. The EasyShare Sport comes in three colors - my test unit was what Kodak calls red, but it's almost orange. (Your other options are gray or blue.) It's fairly hefty for a pocket camera, the glossy plastic, chunky rectangle measures 2.6 by 3.6 by 1.2 inches (HWD), but does have a cute, sporty look. On the front of the camera are the lens, the flash and a slightly protruding grip with a rubber strip that makes the otherwise slippery camera a little easier to hold.
