    Worked underwater great!
    While the display isn’t the best, this little camera takes nice photos underwater, and in salt water. No issues with leaking and it held its charge really well. You can see the quality of your photos after you download them to a device that has a better display. And regular photos look great too. I did have a difficult time focusing on some objects underwater but that could be user error and some practice is needed.

    Makes really good photos
    Takes very good photos , very simple to setup and use. You do need to buy a micro SD card. A pack of 2 32 GB IS less than 20$. And holds almost 6,000 photos on each card. The macro on is amazing and will shoot very close. Telephone works fine. Doesn’t get too grainy. For 149$ it’s a great little camera to take to the pool or beach. When you shoot’s holt the shutter button for a second till the light is green and fire. Very simple. Also has various settings for the flash fill flash and slow synch flash. Underwater mode for color correction which works pretty well. You can also set it for spot or center weighted if you wish. An all around excellent small camera. Fits in the palm of your hand. Very good buy.

    Environment-proof Camera at an Inexpensive Price
    I bought this camera for use in an industrial work setting in a fairly harsh environment. Being waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof is pretty important in this role as even weather-sealed DSLRs and superzooms cannot withstand the conditions that this camera can take. In this role the camera works well, especially for the price.The specifications for the camera are adequate for its use to take pictures, but don’t expect the quality that you’d expect from a midrange prosumer DSLR or mirrorless camera. It has an effective 35mm focal length of 27 mm to 108 mm and a 4x optical zoom, but using it out to 4x is difficult without the use of a tripod. It has an aperture of f/3.0 to f/6.6, so it isn’t optimal for low light conditions but works fine for outdoor use until twilight. It has 16 Megapixels, but this doesn’t matter too much unless you’re printing large images. It has a pretty small 1/2.3″ BSI CMOS sensor.Pros:Excellent weatherproofing: The particular use case for this camera allows it to operate in conditions that would otherwise destroy a camera. It is waterproof up to 15 m (49 ft), shockproof up to 2 m (6 ft), and dustproof IP6X. I use it an in extremely chemically dusty environment that quickly corrodes exposed contacts. This camera performs spectacularly in this environment due to its design. It doesn’t have the left-right command zoom nor a rotating command button interface like in a lot of prosumer cameras, but this is a good thing for weatherproofing. If the camera gets dirty you can just rinse it off with water which is fantastic. Being completely enclosed without a separate lens means you don’t need to worry about sensor contamination or cleaning the inside of lenses. The bottom cover is sealed with a rubber gasket to prevent water ingress into the battery compartment during use.Sharp Lens: The focus on this camera is excellent and provides a very sharp focus, particularly in Macro mode. It can provide a large amount of detail provided that the focus is what you want it to be (which can be tricky). The Macro mode works well here and can focus on close range objects without too much difficulty other than the exact focal point due to the limitations of the LCD display resolution.Intuitive Interface: There aren’t a huge amount of bells and whistles in the UX/UI interface and this simplifies the overall operation. The command console is just the standard buttons (macro, delete, flash, display). The buttons are simple for zoom (out and in) and playback / recording. There is one button for shooting mode and one for the menu. Taking pictures uses the single button on the top right of the camera. There is a small drawback here in that the various modes (Auto / Program / Manual / Landscape etc.) are embedded within the UI and not in a separate command dial. It doesn’t have a separate Aperture Priority / Shutter Priority that you’d find in prosumer cameras but the Manual mode does allow some more precise control than other point-and-shoots with EV compensation up to ± 3 EV with 1/3 step increments. It also allows for white balance control. The camera has the standard options for time-delay pictures so you can be in the frame or if you’re using a tripod to stabilize the camera.Portable: This camera is fairly small and can easily fit in a shirt pocket. The included wrist strap makes it easy to keep on you to prevent it from accidentally dropping. I like that the wrist strap connection is metal and not plastic and seems sturdy. Images can be reviewed fairly easily on your phone using theNon-Proprietary Codecs: Pictures are taken in the universal .jpg format and movies in .mov format. This allows it to be displayed on practically all devices without needing to convert it. It doesn’t have RAW capability though so post-processing can be a bit limited.Decent WiFi: Connecting to it with your phone is fairly straightforward once you have the PIXPRO Remote Viewer, and you can use it to take basic pictures (basically the shutter button) remotely and review images on your phone screen (which will likely be better than using the integral LCD).Decent Battery Life: No complaints here, but not a lot to say either. During normal use it can give you a good 2 hours or so of frequent picture taking before needing a recharge. This is on par with other cameras of its class. Charging is done by opening the bottom cover and, while the battery is inside, connecting a mini USB-A connector (included).Bright Flash: The forward-mounted integrated flash is pretty bright. You can’t aim it in any way and there is no diffusion. It can help offset some of the low light performance but it can blow out the white balance some of the images if you’re not careful.Price: For what it can do, it is very competitively priced for its feature set and its weatherproofing capability. It doesn’t have all of the advanced bells and whistles, nor the best specs, but for most people it should be “good enough.”Cons:Difficult Focusing: While the lens does focus sharply, it can be difficult to get it to focus exactly on what you want. Part of this problem is due to the small, poor resolution LCD display. Often you can’t really tell if the picture is focused to your satisfaction until post when you can review it on your computer. There is also some lag on the display that is noticeable when moving or rotating the camera. It lacks an electronic viewfinder so you’re completely reliant on the rear LCD display for composition and image review.Poor Image Stabilization: The image stabilization isn’t great and you need an incredibly steady hand when taking pictures in medium to low light conditions (such as indoors) otherwise you’ll get some blurry images. This often means in practice having to retake images which can be frustrating.Poor Low-Light Conditions: This is an issue that isn’t unique to cameras with the small 1/2.3” sensor size, but is particularly noticeable with the poor image stabilization. The auto and program features attempt to counter this by bumping up the ISO and manages to choose an appropriate speed to maintain a balanced exposure. The standard advice applies here: use a tripod when possible and a time-delay for low-light conditions.Small LCD and Poor Resolution: The LCD (2.7 in with 230k pixels) is not super great for image review. It is fine for composing pictures if you can get past the movement lag. When taking pictures in Macro mode it can be difficult to review where the precise focus is located.Limited microSD Capacity: This camera only accepts microSDHC cards up to 32 GB. This isn’t a lot compared to what you can get these days in 2023, but provides ~7500 or so Fine quality images. The bottleneck will be the battery. However, 32 GB microSD cards are super cheap and you can carry a lot of them around.Conclusion: This is a pretty good camera for use in harsh environments, but be aware that it isn’t perfect in every situation. It should work well though for family vacation pictures where you don’t want to constantly worry about getting sand everywhere since all it needs is a simple rinse to clean it.

    Leaked and broke after 2 uses.
    We bought this item for a trip involving snorkeling. Worked well the first day. Second day as we were using it the message flashed all of a sudden in the middle of use “unformatted card” and wanted us to format it. Seconds after that it just shut down and wouldn’t turn back on. Got back in the boat, dried everything off and unlocked and opened the battery/sd card compartment. Water had gotten in our “waterproof” camera. Pretty sure it’s fried (still wont turn back on) and lost that micro sd card with all that days photos. Can’t get a refund because purchased it to far in advance.

    Perfect camera for our island getaway vacation
    We have been looking for a compact waterproof camera to take along on our vacation. The Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 ticks all the boxes. It is lightweight, battery lasts a long time, easy to use, clarity of pictures was great under and out of the water. We bought it along with the case which is ideal. Transferring the photos from the camera to my phone was a breeze with the built in wifi connection (no need for any wires or card readers). Overall very happy with our purchase.

    Great value camera
    I bought this camera for a trip to Cancun. It did not disappoint. It’s easy to use and takes really good pictures. It’s very solid with excellent fit and finish. I had it to a depth of about 3 feet in a lagoon and it worked fine. It has quite a few scenes for various conditions, with a special underwater scene that’s easy to find. I also had several pictures developed; for 4×6 size the results are crisp with good color. I had no problems with the wifi feature. This is a great camera for the price!

    Absolute Unit
    I have the slipperiest fingers known to man. I drop all of my electronics and, often, the consequences are dire. This camera has already kissed the pavement, the tile, the dirt, the earth. There is not a single scratch on it. The picture quality is fantastic for the price. The WiFi mode allows it to send pictures directly to your mobile device. What a beautiful world we live in.

    Por el precio me parece una buena cámara, además de que el que sea sumergible le da un plus.
