KODAK Pixpro Astro Zoom AZ405 Digital Camera Bridge, X40 Zoom, 24 mm Wide Angle, 20 Megapixels, LCD 3, Full HD 1080p Video, OIS, AA Battery – Red

My 16 year old has become an avid amateur photographer and this camera is easy to use and takes good quality pictures. Great beginner camera or for anyone who just wants something simple to take good photos.

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.

i love this camera!!! it’s beginner friendly, but has so many options for all levels of photographer. my only gripe is that the battery life could be better, but it lasts long enough. i use this to take pictures and videos of concerts and other things. it’s great! if you’re wanting it as a video camera, i do recommend getting an external microphone— the built in mic on the camera is fine, but it’s just fine, not great. overall i love this camera and use it so much 9/10

Honestly I was hesitant to buy this camera however after tonight I don't regret my choice. Its easy to use even without the instructions and if you're like me by chance if you're playing around with it you will understand it faster than you would reading the instructions. It take 4 double A batteries and they drain slowly even if you use the flash. The camera itself is durable and the image quality is phenomenal. The speed at which it processes the photos is surprisingly fast as well. It only came with a strap to go around your wrist, a lens cap and neck strap. All in all this is a really great camera although I do feel it taking batteries is a little old school and should be more modern with a battery pack and c-plug charger that doesn't take away from the fact its a great camera. I highly recommend for those getting until intermediate levels of photography.

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.

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.

Hi guys, I used this for 6 months and it’s lowkey good. The photos came out with good shade and perfect light ( i set the auto iso). One thing i don’t like it is because the photos are not 4K, kinda blurred and not shape enough. But in general, it’s good for those who just beginner to photography.

I used this product for photographing a model in amble light situations. I am not a professional but even after doing some research and studying this camera for use, I could not find a pleasant photo to show for it. I tried each camera setting, adjusted each of these setting, and even fixed the lighting in each of my photo areas. Still, my photos would come out blurry, noisy, Or underexposed. I tried to give this camera the benefit of the doubt and see if the video setting was any better than the photo. I admit this camera has decent quality, video recording but, after trying to view that same video on a computer(Lenovo- chrome book) I was unable to see the file or video. Which again became a big disappointment. Although I read the reviews before purchasing this camera I still had to give it a try for myself! After trying this camera out I would not primarily recommend this camera to any friends! I can say that you get what you paid for. This is a nice cheap camera which has potential if you’re invested in learning how to use it or invested in purchasing camera accessories to make your photos pop. 2/5 Stars.

Très bonne appareil photo bil fait des très belles photos je recommande fortement reçu bien enballe et en bonne état je recommande fortement cette appareil photo. Il fait des photos de très bonnes caliter

Ein tolles Ding, für meine Zwecke mehr als ausreichend. Ich habe die Kamera beim Wandern dabei und sie steht schnell für den einen oder anderen Schnappschuss bereit. Der Zoom ist auch toll für Fernschüsse ins Gebirge oder so. Ein Profi wird sich an den Kopf greifen bei meinen Ausführungen, aber für mich ist die Kamera top

Un producto que cumple muy bien calidad precio, que deja tomar fotos de la luna y apreciar detalles que solamente se pueden ver en telescopio básico porque claro es una cámara fotográfica no un telescopio con esta cámara puedes sacar fotografías muy bonitas ideal para los principiantes que estudian y aficionados a la fotografía

Als Geschenk gekauft. Bisher nichts negatives gehört

This camera offers excellent value for money and provides a convenient way to capture precious family moments using a device other than your mobile phone. I particularly appreciated that there is no need to purchase an additional lens, which is especially beneficial for someone like me who is new to photography.
