I’m a compact camera reviewer and my favorites are discounted for October Prime Day — up to 24% off on Fujifilm and Kodak

This year's October Prime Day sales are now in full swing as the sun begins to set on day one. Whether you're on the hunt for a new TV, a pair of earbuds or even a drone, there's something for everyone. And if, like me, you love photography and miss the charm and simplicity of a compact camera, I've got good news for you. Some of my favorites are discounted right now!
I have tested and reviewed every camera on this list, so you can take my word for it. My favorite deal is on the Fujifilm Instax Pal which is currently 20% off right now. This cutesy camera is extremely easy to use and carry around, and it's the perfect addition to a party. If you want a classic compact instead, the Kodak PIXPRO C1 is available for $111 at Amazon, and it takes good photos in bright environments.
If you're in the U.K. like I am, fret not, as there are some great deals to be had here too. The Kodak Ektar H35 Half Frame is 15% off at Amazon U.K. right now, and it's my favorite film camera. Or you can grab the Fujifilm Instax Pal for £67 if you want a live-in-the-moment digital camera.
Regardless of the camera you choose, make sure to snap up these deals as soon as possible. We don't know if we'll see them come Black Friday, so best to take full advantage of this year's October Prime Day sales! And for more great discounts, be sure to check out our Amazon Prime Day deals live blog right now.

Cute, lightweight and portable, the Fujifilm Instax Pal is a delightful camera. It takes retro-style images and is extremely easy to use. This camera could be a great addition to a party or wedding as it’s very shareable.
The Kodak Ektar H35 Half Frame is an outstanding film camera and fantastic value for money as it essentially doubles the shot-count. It takes lovely, lo-fi photos, and it’s easy to use and highly portable. Also, if you want to get creative with pictorial storytelling, you can use this camera to create diptychs.
The Kodak PIXPRO FZ45 is a very easy to use compact camera that’s highly portable. It takes good images, and it looks great too, especially in the cherry red colorway. In my Kodak PIXPRO FZ45 review, I noted that this camera was simple to use thanks to the straightforward control scheme, and that it was super easy to carry around.
The Kodak PIXPRO C1 is highly compact and portable so you can take it anywhere, and it can capture 1080P/60fps video footage. There’s a dedicated Macro mode that works well, and a flip-up screen for taking selfies.
