KODAKPIXPRO Friendly Zoom FZ45-BK 16MP Digital Camera with 4X Optical Zoom 27mm Wide Angle and 2.7" LCD Screen (Black)

The KODAK PIXPRO FZ45 blew me away. I bought it as a budget-friendly alternative to the Canon GX7 and was genuinely surprised at how comparable the photo quality is. This camera delivers crisp, vibrant images with great color accuracy and sharpness, especially for casual use, travel, and everyday photography. The compact size and lightweight body make it ideal for tossing in your bag or carrying on the go. The 4X optical zoom and 27mm wide-angle lens give you flexibility for everything from portraits to landscapes.Here are a few tips to get the best results:Use the macro setting for close-ups of flowers, food, or small objects. It captures surprisingly detailed shots.To avoid whitewashed photos, make sure ISO is set to AUTO, rather than a super high manual setting. Start on "auto" then if that doesn't work look into the other modes like "Party" and "Night Portrait".Explore the scene modes. The camera includes presets like portrait, night, and beach, which adjust settings automatically for different conditions.Avoid using the digital zoom. Stick to the optical zoom to maintain image quality.Use the exposure compensation feature (+/- button) to brighten or darken your photos without needing editing later.Review your shots on the 2.7-inch screen and retake anything that looks slightly off. The LCD is good enough to spot issues before you move on.This camera is perfect for someone who wants high-quality point-and-shoot photos without the learning curve or cost of a DSLR. It is reliable, easy to use, and a fantastic value. Highly recommend it for beginners, students, content creators or anyone who just wants great pictures for insta without the fuss.

I absolutely love this camera. This is it a good average price for a camera, considering the quality of the pictures. The camera gives a nice vintage kind of look but the quality is so clear. It was easy to set up. You have to buy a memory card ahead of time. I didn't change any settings cause I personally like the modes it was on, but if you want, it's very easy to change. My friends also always ask me to bring my camera to parties and events because of how much they love the pictures. It's definitely worth spending money on this because you can use it for so many events. It's super easy to use, too.

Takes great photos, compact and so much better quality than phone cameras. My daughters are in their 20’s and are loving having a real camera for the special occasions and holidays. Great gift!

I'll be honest, getting started with this camera was a challenge. There's no SD card included, and finding a compatible one took some research. To make matters worse, the camera died after just 20 minutes of use due to the included poor-quality batteries. However, after switching to high-quality batteries, the camera performed flawlessly.I grew to love this camera. It's compact, easy to use and takes amazing photos, especially with the forced flash. The shooting options are really helpful in different environments.If you're looking for a more affordable alternative to the Canon G7X, I would recommend this camera. Just be prepared to invest in a good SD card and batteries, and you'll be all set!

The best digital camera ever . For the price of it it’s definitely worth it and you don’t need an expensive camera to get good quality photos. Easy to use. You can adjust the settings to how ever you want. Photos come out good in the day and night !!!! Would recommend!

This is by far the best camera ever in my opinion. It’s affordable and has great color quality. Also, it has different settings on the camera where you can change to the place you are at, which I LOVE because it really comes handy when you going out and wanna take some cute pictures. The size is perfect, it’s small so it can fit anywhere. I think it’s might be kid friendly because I am very clumsy person and I probably drop my camera like a million times and never once have it broken. The brightness is really bright so if you’re taking a selfie, I definitely recommend to prepare yourself for the brightness. Everywhere I go with it, it always works pretty well, so the Wi-Fi connectivity is spectacular, and never had once had a problem with it.

I bought this camera on a whim after I decided I wanted the digital camera effect on my pictures and it did NOT DISSAPOINT! It took me a few tries to find my favorite settings, but I ended up going on auto mode with force flash and my pics look so cute! The size is perfect, it fits right in my mini-purses and clutches. It's really beginner friendly and I was able to figure out all of the little things to make my pictures better really fast. Photos are taken quick and you can even put a timer on if you need to do hands-free pictures. I would 100% recommend this for a beginner or if you just don't want to spend lots of money on the viral Canon-Z camera!

good camera quality (especially with flash). but after giving it multiple tries, i still run into problems. most notably; poor charging (battery life, not turning on after charging, changing batteries so often, etc.) i’ve also had issues retrieving photos and im not sure if its my card, card reader or camera. love it when it works correctly but seriously considering getting a new camera bc its functionality is extremely poor at times.
