Kodak Reportedly Preparing Two New PixPro Cameras for September

Kodak’s PixPro cameras have surged in popularity over the past year thanks to growing interest in the “old digital camera” aesthetic. According to a new report, that lineup is about to expand with two new models expected to debut at IFA Berlin 2026.

According to Digital Camera World, JK Imaging—the company licensed to manufacture Kodak PixPro cameras—is preparing to unveil the PixPro C10 and the PixPro P1 during the consumer electronics show this September.

The more intriguing of the two rumored cameras is the Kodak PixPro C10.

Leaked specifications suggest it will feature a 10x optical zoom lens with a 25-250mm equivalent focal length and an f/3.6-6.7 aperture. While the zoom range alone may not set it apart from competing compact cameras, the standout feature appears to be a new film simulation dial mounted on the top plate.

Users are reportedly able to switch between Standard, Neutral, and Black & White color profiles, while additional dial positions are marked with the abbreviations “Ech,” “Kch,” and “Kco.” These are widely believed to reference Kodak’s historic film stocks, including Ektachrome, Kodachrome, and Kodacolor, although this has not been confirmed.

The concept is reminiscent of Fujifilm’s Film Simulation modes, which recreate the look of classic films such as Velvia, Classic Chrome, and Reala Ace. If accurate, Kodak’s implementation would lean into the nostalgic appeal that has helped the PixPro lineup gain traction with casual photographers and younger users seeking a vintage digital look.

PixPro P1 Targets Outdoor Users

The second rumored model is the Kodak PixPro P1, a rugged compact camera designed for outdoor and underwater photography.

According to the report, the P1 will feature a retro-inspired design with rounded edges, larger control buttons, and a 5-meter (16-foot) waterproof rating.

Leaked images also show a tilting rear display and a zoom rocker, suggesting the camera will feature some form of zoom lens, although it remains unclear whether it will be optical or digital.

The PixPro P1 is expected to launch in two color options: a traditional black finish and a blue-and-white variant.

Continuing the PixPro Momentum

The rumored additions come as Kodak’s PixPro series continues to enjoy renewed popularity, particularly in Japan, where several models have become best sellers amid growing demand for simple point-and-shoot cameras with a distinctive digital look.

Adding film-inspired color profiles would further differentiate the lineup from competing compact cameras while reinforcing Kodak’s heritage in analog photography.

Pricing and Availability

Neither JK Imaging nor Kodak has announced pricing or availability for the PixPro C10 or PixPro P1.

Both cameras are expected to be officially unveiled at IFA Berlin 2026, which runs from September 4 to September 8. Until then, the reported specifications and features should be treated as rumors.
