The Godox C100 is the weirdest camera and the weirdest light meter I've ever used — it's an intriguing concept, but it misses the mark on both counts
Difficult to use, and producing middling imagery, the C100 isn't quite what I hoped.
The Godox C100 has left many baffled since its unexpected launch, a compact camera that doubles as a light meter. With its sleek, sci-fi design and affordable price, it initially captured attention. However, using the C100 proved challenging, with the transparent screen acting as both viewfinder and display causing discomfort and framing issues.
Image quality was decent, yet the video performance was poor, plagued by rolling shutter and dropped frames. The light meter function worked but lacked compatibility with SLR hot shoes. The C100's price, at $45/£47, made it cheaper than most cameras and light meters, but its unique concept failed to deliver on both the camera and light meter aspects.
