KODAK PIXPRO FZ55-RD 16MP Digital Camera 5X Optical Zoom 28mm Wide Angle 1080P Full HD Video 2.7" LCD Vlogging Camera (Red) Packaging May Vary

Bought this camera for a simple camera to use while traveling when I didn't want to take my huge Panasonic camera but still wanted a camera that wasn't on my phone, for safety purposes and also the anxiety of possibly losing or dropping my phone (either off high places, overboard, etc.). Many people say that it isn't worth it, and with the development of quality in phone cameras, why even bother buying a digital one that provides less quality photos than that of your phone, that almost everyone has and carries with them at all times? I personally like having a compact, portable camera that is less of an investment than an expensive smart phone in the case it gets stolen, dropped, damaged, etc. This in itself is an appeal for me to purchase a digital camera to use instead of my iPhone. It was a great alternative to my phone, allowing me to keep my phone tucked away in a pocket or a bag, while still being able to take photographs while on my trips. I really liked the red color offered, as I try to buy everything red. The camera itself is compact and portable, it was super easy to conceal and travel with, adding little weight to my travel bags. The camera is very easy to use, allowing different shooting settings, zoom, and even video recordings. The battery lasts quite a while too, but I bought secondary batteries just in case. I also really appreciate the fact the camera utilizes a rechargeable battery, so you can charge it on trips when you have a break and you don't have to be constantly carrying a set of AAs. The picture quality itself is high, in my personal opinion, really good for the price that you're paying and the compactness of the camera. The video quality could be better, but is decent for the size and price of the camera. If you're zooming in a lot, the video quality is obviously compensated, and the audio quality in videos isn't the best, but. You get what you pay for, and in this case, you actually get better. It's well worth the money, providing video-recording abilities and high quality photographs. I highly recommend this camera for anybody looking for a camera for the same purposes as I. It's well worth the money and has exceeded my expectations in performance. It would also be a great starter camera for someone looking for a simple point-and-shoot camera, or for adolescents looking to get into the camera/photography community. Obviously if you're a professional photographer, I wouldn't recommend this camera, but I doubt anybody professional is looking to take high-quality, professional photographs with a simple point-and-shoot camera. For the price, quality, and performance, this camera is well worth the money, and I highly recommend it!(:

I have been searching for an affordable digital camera that takes great high-quality pictures and this one has just blew me away with the quality and price I’ve seen so many people spending thousands of dollars on digital cameras and I haven’t wanted to fully invest in a camera of that price so I wanted to find a cheaper option that takes great pictures and I found this camera. I am so obsessed with the high-quality Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a digital camera and doesn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars!!!! I also just got a 32 GB SD card off Amazon that works perfectly. I have haven’t videoed with it yet but I’m sure the qualities is amazing. It’s super easy to use and I added pictures below to show the quality

The Kodak PixPro FZ55 is a compact and budget-friendly digital camera that delivers decent image quality for casual photography. Its 5x optical zoom and 16MP sensor provide good detail, while the wide-angle lens makes it versatile for various shots. Although it lacks advanced manual controls, its easy-to-use interface and lightweight design make it a solid choice for beginners or travelers looking for a simple point-and-shoot camera. I loveeee 😍

This camera produces good quality pictures and overall gets the job done! The pictures come out pretty nice and give that exact smooth Pinterest digital camera picture. You can also include the time+date stamp at the bottom! It’s easy to use and perfect for beginners. Despite this its battery life is a little meh. But if you turn it off when not in use you’ll be fine. Additionally, you have to hold the camera super still or else your pictures can come out blurry. It processes pretty slow too (like 2-3 seconds) but it’s not a big deal. It also makes sound when you turn it on and off as well as when you take a picture which can be a little awkward. Good and affordable option for a digital camera.

After reading great reviews on this camera online I went searching for one locally without any luck. We live on the Florida coast and tourists snatch them up as fast as they come in. Anyway, I saw what looked like a similar camera at Target and bought the Vivitar VES 529 for $90. Mistake! It wouldn't capture an image, the wrist strap too over an hour of fiddling to attach, the SD card fit so deep in the camera I had to use tweezers to insert and remove it, the instructions were in undecipherable gibberish and woefully incomplete, the zoom was ratchety and the lens wobbly, the viewfinder image fuzzy, and it didn't come with an AC adapter. The case was a little vinyl bag. Overall, an incredibly cheap piece of trash that's going back to Target. By the way, Vivitar's customer service is pathetic.Then I ordered this little Kodak from Amazon, without actually being able to see it first.. Right out of the box, it was a much more substantial feeling camera, the viewfinder image was clear, the video mode worked, it had an AC adapter, and the battery and SD card were easy to insert. Downloading is also simple. It's just a joy to use and feels much more substantial. It's very compact, like the Vivitar, but they are otherwise worlds apart in quality and ease of use.ANYONE wanting a compact, capable point and shoot camera won't do much better than this. Even at $30 more then the Vivitar, this is a far better buy.
