- Model match
- PIXPRO C1, black is the base colorThe Japan price comes from kakaku.com's product page (a Japan-chain-retailer list price (via kakaku.com price comparison)): Kodak PIXPRO C1BK [Black] (C1(BK); Nojima Online); Taiwan is PChome 24h Shopping (Taiwan authorized-distributor stock)'s "KODAK PIXPRO C1 Retro Digital Camera, Flip Screen for Selfies, Taiwan Authorized-Distributor Stock (2-Year Warranty with Registration)," priced at NT$3,980. The model "PIXPRO C1" matches exactly, Kodak's basic retro selfie-camera model, with black as the default color (other colors such as champagne gold are separately marked as limited colors). Root has reopened this page to re-check the product name and price. (The Japan ranking has another listing of the same model in a different color, bundled together with this item under the relaxed color standard.) (Source note: neither Bic Camera nor Yodobashi carries this model, only a camera screen protector, so the Japan price cites the listed-store price on kakaku.com's product page.) Re-check on 2026-09-15: the ¥16,510 is still Nojima Online's chain listing price; the lowest listing on that page is Daikokuya Camera Hall at ¥14,800, which was not used.
