KODAK PIXPRO AZ405-BK 20MP Digital Camera 40X Optical Zoom 24mm Wide Angle Lens Optical Image Stabilization 1080P Full HD Video 3" LCD Vlogging Camera (Black)

I love this camera! I purchased this to take pictures on my vacation. I do have an expensive DSLR, but did not want to carry around all of that gear. This Kodak is lightweight, easy to use and takes great pictures. The zoom is amazing! The battery life is good (I am using rechargeable). There is a lot of functionality to the camera is you want to experiment of take specialty pics. The color accuracy is superb! I did have an issue with the camera I received from Amazon, but I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a new one fairly quickly.

This camera is a Kodak, so I already had some pre-conceived ideas about what it should be able to do. It not only does everything I wanted it to do, but it does lots more. It is easy enough to use that an absolute beginner can use it right out of the box (almost - you need an SD card), but it is also complex enough to satisfy the needs of a seasoned pro photographer. The zoom is an incredible 40X, and is almost too much - at the max zoom, it is like holding a telescope in your hands and trying to keep it still enough to see - it is truly amazing and fun to play with. The image quality is right up there with much more expensive units. I would give this little camera more stars if I could. All these quality features at this price point? It's a no-brainer - if you need a camera, get this one! You won't be sorry.

This is a great little camera for traveling. It does take great pictures, but it takes a long while for it to focus. If you are looking for a camera that just snaps and goes, I’m not sure I could recommend this. But if you are willing to stand for a few moments to get it adjusted correctly, it is great! It zooms in amazing and takes wonderful photos. We have another camera that is over $2000 and I cannot tell the difference in the quality, just size and weight. Just understand that it takes a little longer to focus. For the price and the size I would highly recommend this camera.

This was an Amazon Warehouse purchase. Condition shown as "Acceptable", at nearly half the list price. I was skeptical but the Next Day Delivery and knowledge I could return it made me buy it. The camera is in Perfect condition, original box and all accessories included. I am delighted. However, the Quick Start guide provides very little help to a beginning user, but I scanned the QR code in the Guide to access the 91-page Owners Manual. I can either view it on my laptop (too small on the phone) or spend $$ to print it out.I haven't taken but a couple of pictures so far as I want to know what I'm doing first. So far so good and I know I will enjoy getting to know this camera. I am not sure I would be so pleased were it not $88 (vs. $170) but consider me a satisfied customer. I am a retiree and I'm sure that is part of the issue with using this, as younger folks would intuitively know how to fly through the buttons and settings.The lens cap is dismally loose, as many reviews pointed out, but a few slivers of electrical tape around the inside of the cap creates a good snug fit. Picture quality is sharp and satisfying. Enjoy!!

This camera is terrible in every aspect and design, to get the SD card out you have to open the battery compartment, which when doing so you loose all the settings as in date and time on the camera and you have to completely reset everything. If you use the cord to download the pictures to your computer instead of taking out the card it drains the batteries very quickly. Even when not using the cord to download, the batteries drain very quickly, it's such an issue that it's one of the trouble shooting things that they have listed with this camera. There solution is to shut off any apps or things on the camera you're not using, tells you to turn down the brightness of the screen. Really your solution to this problem is to disable features that are on this camera, what's the point of having those features if when using them they drain the batteries very quickly. Let me explain what I use this camera for, to take pictures of items I sell on line. I put in a new set of energizer batteries, tested them with my ohm/volt tester, they tested 1.58 volts. I took 17 pictures downloaded them by using the cord and then I took 10 more pictures and the camera shut off and right before it did it said batteries expired. So I took the batteries out and tested them and they tested 1.28 volts, which will make most things still run, like my game cameras. There's definitely an issue with these cameras and the power they use and how fast they drain batteries. I've also have had it lock up and stop working several times and it wouldn't shut off or do anything, had to open up the battery compartment which takes all the power from the camera so it will reset and then close it and then turn it back on. I had a Sony Cyber shot which they don't make anymore, for over 10 years and I took literally thousands of pictures with it and it cost half as much and the pictures were clearer and of higher quality than what this camera is capable of taking. I would still be using the Sony, but some how it developed a gray spot that was showing up in all of my pictures and it was causing potential buyers to ask what that spot was on the item. So I had to stop using it and bought this camera thinking it would work great for what I was doing and also work great for taking pictures of nature and wildlife. I wish I would have sent it back right away, but I figured I would give it a chance to get better, because they said it would if I did the update. Well it's only gotten worse with time instead of better.

perfect camera for a beginner! i am very pleased with the quality of photos for the price of the camera. i highly recommend this camera for people looking for elevated quality of photos compared to the iphone camera. since i am a beginner user i was not aware that this camera did not come with much internal storage. you will need to purchase a sim card separately. this purchase did come with a USB cord to transfer photos to my computer. also, i was reading closely into the features of the camera within the description under the listing and found out that the camera does not have an ability to wirelessly transfer photos despite what the listing said. this camera also came with batteries so no need to purchase these separately at this time. overall, i am very pleased with the purchase and i recommend it to anyone looking for a cheaper but quality digital camera!
