Kodak PIXPRO Astro Zoom AZ421 16 MP Digital Camera with 42X Opitcal Zoom and 3" LCD Screen (White)

Good beginners camera, zoom isn't the best quality but this is perfect for someone trying to get some more experience in photography for a cheaper price.

So far I've only run around locally and snapped a few pics but the quality is great. The zoom is pretty immense if you can hold it steady enough. I'm no photographer, just wanted something with a bit more than my phone and this sturdy little thing seems just the ticket. However, unless you know what you're looking for in the description, it's only compatible with an SD/SDHC memory card (and between 4-32GB as stated in the user manual which is an online download)! Having wanted maximum storage I ordered a 128GB SDXC card with it, only to find it won't work. I still don't know the difference between HC and XC but I've had to order a triple pack of 32GB SDHC cards for my holiday and return the other 1! Bottom line, great little camera, make sure you get the right SD card!

This camera is awesome. I'm still learning how to use all the settings. My 12 yr old needed a camera for a school project, and this is 1 of the few cameras that would arrive in time. I'm happy I ordered it. She can easily use it and I've found myself taking it everywhere with me just so I can take pictures of anything interesting. The pictures are so clear, the zoom is amazing, and you can adjust to take pics of sunsets, moving items (pets, kids), landscape pics. Definitely worth the money!

I had to purchase a new battery - which was very hard to find as the battery that came with the camera was a dead battery and not charging. I had to run around to several camera shops, none of which had the battery required. How can a new camera be sent with a not working battery ?

Display non functional, will never any Kodak product sold through Amazon. We complained the same day. Still waiting for response.
