KODAK PIXPRO Astro Zoom AZ401-RD 16MP Point & Shoot Digital Camera with 40X Optical Zoom and 3" LCD (Red)

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This camera had the features that I was looking for at a very affordable price. Quality: Fantastic. Bought it for my 2 week trip to France and it took professional quality photos and videos. Design: I thought it would be bulky when I received it but it was very easy to handle and the 4 AA batteries last a long time. Clarity: Wonderful in different light conditions, takes longer to take pics when dim light so you have to hold the shot longer. Zoom capability: Good on zoom, once you go to the digital zoom trouble focusing. Other than that no complaints. Size: Looks large but very easy to handle. Brightness: Took wonderful pictures.

Fantastic starter camera for the price. Yes, it's an older model, but I'm able to do so many things. For example, I can take photos of birds, zoom in on the airplanes that pass my house, and even capture perfect images of the moon. It takes some time getting used to and some settings are harder to navigate, so I suggest watching some videos on DSLR settings. It comes with a strap but mine just wouldn't get on, but that's probably my problem.

Pretty good little camera, no instructions, but plenty on YouTube, so that took care of that, only gave it four stars because of the no instruction, but it is worth the money.

I wanted a camera that did not need to be charged when I was going on a trip with some day hikes. This camera weighs more than chargeable cameras because of the batteries and a zoom lens. The quality of the pictures is great. I did end up using my phone camera some but the zoom lens on this camera allowed me zoom in on things such as Indian rock paintings and scenery pictures.

This camera was CRAP (as so is Amazon's extremely rude and offensive Supervisors when you try to get help) When I purchased this junk and inserted the sd card the camera kept reading "error" and would not format the card that was ordered as part of the package nor would it work with any of my cards. After spending half an hour with Amazon"s "tech support" and going through all of their "test" they advised me to return the camera (not) the card because the "camera was faulty" and that they would send me another camera. I tested the second camera and it ALSO was DEFECTIVE. If you purchase this camera Amazon and their 'customer service" reps and Supervisor's will make it as hard as possible to get a refund and will be as rude and NASTY as possible while doing so including often hanging up on the call after wasting your time putting you on hold for 15 and 20 minutes at a time. I must now wait an ADDITIONAL ((2 weeks)) I was told to even get a refund making this ordeal with Amazon close to an entire MONTH just to process this not to mention their lies about delivery times and pickups. (I ultimately had to do both myself as their "customer service" staff were incompetent with even the simple task of verifying my email address. My advice: begin looking at other alternatives than Amazon and by ALL MEANS: Stay away from ANYTHING sold by KODAK! As promised I will be posting an extensive review of both Kodak and Amazon on my products and services review on my website and my youtube channel (64,000+ subscribers) to notify and warn customers how AMAZON treats it's customers and how bad KODAK cameras are.

I bought this camera for a photography class. If I use manual settings and can get the ISO as low as I can and the depth of field as high as I can, the pictures come out pretty darn good. Most of the time I just use auto. Any motion will cause motion blur. My iPhone 8 doesn't have this problem. It also tears through batteries like no tomorrow. I was planning to use this to capture pictures of my child for years to come. Now I will just sell it on facebook marketplace and count my losses.

I'm old school! I do not have a fancy cell phone attached to me 24/7. My cell phone might be in my car and it's usually not even charged. I wanted this camera to carry in purse to whip out at any time to get pictures of my grandchildren just like I used to with my children 25 years ago, except this camera is far superior to my old one. It is easy to handle, comes with easy directions, and produces sharp, crystal clear images. Great buy for the money!

Great Price and Great Quality

Die Aufnahmen dieser Kamera sind von der Farbe und der Schärfe ( mein bevorzugter Bereich ca. 28-210 ) sehr gut. Ich habe sie im direkten Vergleich mit der Canon EOS 2000 d und benutze zur Zeit nur noch die Kodak. Ich persönlich vermisse einen Sucher, da die Displays bei Helligkeit nicht gut sind.

La cámara es increíble, la resolución que tiene es muy buena, ciertamente mejora mucho cuando las tomas se hacen con el zoom óptico, los modos de fotografía son muy buenos, el vídeo es sumamente estable y agradable, ninguna de estas fotos tiene edición, sin duda es la mejor opción que pueden tener a la hora de comprar una cámara, puede que al principio no parezca que dará buenos resultados, pero conforme más la usas más te das cuenta de lo buena que es, por su precio estoy asombrado por la excelente calidad que tiene Si debo dar puntos negativos está el tema de la batería, ocupa demasiada y utiliza pilas, las que incorpora no son las mejores, así que vale la pena invertir en unas recargables de almenos 2500mah para que tenga buena duración, pero con el ahorro que tienes al comprarla es más que nada una inversión También las fotografías en la noche no son las mejores, pero no se puede pedir más de lo que ofrece esta cámara, sin duda una gran opción Recomendación. Si compras esta cámara por fuerza necesitarás: Una memoria SD de almenos 32gb Un trípode, uno sencillo basta Un estuche para transportarla con más facilidad, aunque no es algo obligatorio Baterias recargables 2500mah, gasta mucha batería, así aguantará para sesiones largas.

Très content de cet appareil Kodak Pixpro AZ401. Idéal pour les amateurs ou ceux qui veulent un appareil polyvalent sans se ruiner. La qualité d’image en 16 Mpixels est plus que correcte pour un bridge de cette gamme. Le zoom optique est puissant, parfait pour capturer des sujets à distance. Le grand angle 24 mm est pratique pour les paysages, et le mode panorama 180° fonctionne bien. L’interface est simple à prendre en main, même pour un débutant. L’écran LCD est clair et suffisant pour la composition et la lecture des photos. C’est un bon compromis entre un compact et un reflex. Léger, pratique et fiable, je recommande vivement pour les balades, voyages ou usage familial !

We hebben ongeveer 500 foto’s genomen en daarvoor hadden we 3x 4 batterijen nodig. Thuis gekomen vinden we nergens in de handel een kabel om de foto’s over te zettennaar de computer. Het is dus een zeer slechte aankoop.

When I bought this camera I was not expecting to get a front line product, but a rather bang for your buck deal. That is what I got! This camera is great at zooming end on end. It does 40x optical, and an extra 120 digital. After using it for a few months I can see that the picture quality is not too bad but does not live up to another close rival, rebel. I owed a rebel T7I and i was happy with that camera too. The picture quality between the two is almost strait forward. Money! You get what you pay for. This camera I payed about $160 for it and if I remember right I payed about 800 for my rebel. This camera is not a dslr, but is a close cousin. It is a cross over. It is a point and shoot first, I find, and a cousin of the dslr second. A cousin being some features of the dslr but not being able to change lenses. That being said the camera does take pretty good pics. It takes a bit of extra time in between pictures then a dslr. No burst mode. Great panorama. The extra features are well too. I would rate this camera a 7.8 out of 10. Thanks for reading.
