KODAK PIXPRO AZ405-BK 20MP Digital Camera 40X Optical Zoom 24mm Wide Angle Lens Optical Image Stabilization 1080P Full HD Video 3″ LCD Vlogging Camera (Black)

Nice Camera
Pros: I have used many different cameras over the years. I previously bought a camera (Kodak 26X still works fine) like this about 15 years ago and now with a better zoom and technology I decided to buy the newest version. This zoom is so nice. We live were there are birds and wildlife and love being able to get some nice photos without breaking out the big camera changing lenses and then putting it all away when done. Easy to carry around. Light weight. Overall a great camera for the money. Lots of photo options for different scenarios.Cons: Doesn’t have the second button for vertical photo. The lens cap isn’t secured in place with a click like my old camera. Therefor the lens cap comes off quite easily so be sure to use the string attachment so you don’t lose it.

DON’T BUY THIS CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Great buy for a starter
Since becoming a mother, I’ve been wanting to get a camera to capture moments instead of always using my phone and taking up storage space! This is a great beginner camera! The camera is lightweight & I’m excited to use it .Some cons are there don’t seem to be many videos on how to use this camera to it’s entirety as far as the different features and the user manual is super short and doesn’t tell you much. The only other con which isn’t a huge dealbreaker for me is that the autofocus is extremely slow . I’m going to test it out for a few days and leave an updated review !**** okay after a few days I had to come back and update my review. The autofocus is still very slow which ended up being a deal breaker after all seeing how other cameras capture photos and the picture quality isn’t that great on the camera (it could be different once downloaded but I’m not sure) . Don’t recommend the purchase

BUEN VENDEDOR

Okay, I have to admit I haven’t been absorbed with tech lately, but this is so much more than just a camera. It’s like a tiny computer and has so many features that, even though I’ve owned digital units before, it’s going to take me some time to get familiar with, never mind master.Excellent value for the amateur.

The KODAK PIXPRO Astro Zoom AZ405 is a fantastic camera, especially for aviation enthusiasts like myself. The 40X optical zoom is perfect for capturing clear, detailed shots of planes in flight from a distance, and the 24mm wide-angle lens helps to get great airfield shots. The 20MP sensor produces crisp images, and the 1080P full HD video is a great feature for recording in action. The camera is easy to use with a nice 3″ LCD display, making it an excellent choice for aviation photography and more. Highly recommend it!
