PIXPRO AZ425 Digital Camera, 42x Optical Zoom Bridge with 20MP BSI Sensor, Li-Ion Battery, OIS, 1080p Full HD Video, Black

Great camera. Have a amazing zoom. Great battery life.I'm very happy with my kodak.

Great budget camera. This thing isn't anything a photographer would phone home about, but for a point and click grab and go camera you can throw in your pocket, this thing is just what you need. Solid build and easy to use. Has a nice balance between the simple and the complex. Not a huge iso range, no crazy sensors, or f stop, but it gets the job done well in most situations if all you're looking for is something easy to use. Should note that it runs on regular ol batteries which aren't cheap these days. Bonus is, batteries are just about everywhere when you need them. All in all, this is a good camera for what it is meant to be, a middle of the road, grab and go, point and click camera with easy functionality and a few of the photographers manual bells and whistles.

Takes good clear pictures and is easy to use...however, you cannot take quick pictures. I found waiting to take a second picture annoying. The other downside for me, no view finder and the screen doesn't pivot so sun glare is a big problem. So, I decided to look for something different. Slow shutter and no view finder, but does take clear pictures.

The camera takes good pictures. We bought it for our recent trip to Yellowstone and are overall pleased with the pictures. Take time BEFORE your intended use to learn the camera (our biggest mistake). It shoots great video and pictures, but you need to make sure the settings are correct before you start shooting. I love the multi shot setting and the moving object auto-focus for nature shots, but having to redo the settings every time you turn the camera on is very annoying, and caused us to miss several opportunities for great pictures. A save settings function would be fabulous. The panorama and landscape settings also gave us some amazing pictures (I’m sure that had nothing to do with Yellowstone). I love the zoom with image stabilization. A couple of the attached pictures are handheld at 42 power zoom. The zoom works fast in picture mode and slow in video mode. Perfect for normal use. No complaints about image stabilization in either photo or video mode. I love the 1 button video. Great for shooting something before it gets away. Buy the largest SD card you can afford and you won’t regret it. I bought extra batteries after we got back from our trip, and wish I had done it before. The things I would change about the camera are; add manual focus (sometimes it just wouldn’t focus on our subject, especially when zoomed to the max), allow me to save settings for the next time I turn on the camera, and a Bluetooth remote shutter release would be fantastic. With all that said, I realize that this is not a pro model camera, and once you get past the relatively short learning curve, it is an excellent value. If you are looking for an affordable, easy to use camera, and understand the shortcomings, this could be the camera for you.

Advertised features for the price was very attractive. However, photo quality was not great and a delay taking a photo to actually capturing it was also a contributor to the unsatisfactory image. Perhaps user error, perhaps not. There was also no lens cap. Not sure if this was to be included. Purchased a memory card separately .

First off let me say that I think it’s a nifty little camera, I don’t know because the first one I had to send back and by the time the second one came my husband and I both had the flu. The first camera was missing parts. I only had two days until Christmas so I ordered another camera. I allowed the receiver of the gift to open it and lo and behold. They had an extra part. So when the second camera came, I insisted the receiver, take the entire camera. Then, the camera would not work. So I allowed the receiver to keep the first camera since he had that missing part, and sent the second nonworking camera back. I indicated at that time that I wanted the money sent back to my original point of purchase. Imagine my surprise when I went to go buy dog food I look and I see that they’ve taken balance from a gift card. A gift card? I do not have a gift card. So I go and look and it turns out they misappropriated my money back to a gift card, so now I don’t have money for groceries. And Amazon said that they didn’t have a way to help me. Next Christmas I’m not going through missing parts, misappropriated, funds, and people doing the exact opposite of what they tell me they’re going to do.

Nice pictures easy to use

It is somewhat easy to use. Although the camera has a lot of functions that you may don’t even need. Zoom is great, it worked for me on my Japan trip. Sometimes I have issues with the exposure because it doesn’t shot even it’s focused in. Not sure how to solve that issue as I’m not a pro photographer, but I’m sure there’s a setting with the light or shutter speed. Good value for the money
