Affordable Canon GX7 Dupe with Great Results + Easy Operation
The KODAK PIXPRO FZ45 blew me away. I bought it as a budget-friendly alternative to the Canon GX7 and was genuinely surprised at how comparable the photo quality is. This camera delivers crisp, vibrant images with great color accuracy and sharpness, especially for casual use, travel, and everyday photography. The compact size and lightweight body make it ideal for tossing in your bag or carrying on the go. The 4X optical zoom and 27mm wide-angle lens give you flexibility for everything from portraits to landscapes.Here are a few tips to get the best results:Use the macro setting for close-ups of flowers, food, or small objects. It captures surprisingly detailed shots.To avoid whitewashed photos, make sure ISO is set to AUTO, rather than a super high manual setting. Start on “auto” then if that doesn’t work look into the other modes like “Party” and “Night Portrait”.Explore the scene modes. The camera includes presets like portrait, night, and beach, which adjust settings automatically for different conditions.Avoid using the digital zoom. Stick to the optical zoom to maintain image quality.Use the exposure compensation feature (+/- button) to brighten or darken your photos without needing editing later.Review your shots on the 2.7-inch screen and retake anything that looks slightly off. The LCD is good enough to spot issues before you move on.This camera is perfect for someone who wants high-quality point-and-shoot photos without the learning curve or cost of a DSLR. It is reliable, easy to use, and a fantastic value. Highly recommend it for beginners, students, content creators or anyone who just wants great pictures for insta without the fuss.

Love this camera so much! So worth it!
I absolutely love this camera. This is it a good average price for a camera, considering the quality of the pictures. The camera gives a nice vintage kind of look but the quality is so clear. It was easy to set up. You have to buy a memory card ahead of time. I didn’t change any settings cause I personally like the modes it was on, but if you want, it’s very easy to change. My friends also always ask me to bring my camera to parties and events because of how much they love the pictures. It’s definitely worth spending money on this because you can use it for so many events. It’s super easy to use, too.

Great camera. Love the quality on the pictures, they look like they were taken from a Canon. I also love the video quality, but it depends on what you’re looking for because it looks more y2k instead of professional.My only complaint is that it randomly freezes when you take too many pictures and it doesn’t include the equipment you need. You would have to separately buy batteries and a memory card.

So portable and has vintage look!
Very cute and portable camera for teens! I enjoy taking pictures with my friends, so I wanted a camera for a vintage touch of a digicam and this completely fulfills my expectations! Although if you are looking for a cámara for better profesional pictures you can look for a pricier one. This camera easily fits in a purse, or pocket, it’s easy to understand with its settings but you might need to know some of the photography lingo, but it’s straightforward. The camera quality is very good, has great videoing feature and it’s got the vintage look. Only thing I noticed and didn’t expect is how little it weights!

Good budget-friendly camera, great for casual use
I picked up the Kodiak PikPro because I wanted an affordable camera for travel and outdoor activities without breaking the bank. Overall, I’m really happy with it for the price point.What I like:• The camera feels solid and durable, which is reassuring if you plan to take it on hikes or throw it in a bag.• In daylight, the pictures come out surprisingly sharp and colorful. It definitely beats using just my phone when I want wide shots or zoom.• Easy to use – the menus are simple, and I was able to start snapping within minutes without reading a huge manual.• The wide-angle lens captures a lot of scenery, which is perfect for landscapes.• Battery life is decent for casual shooting.What could be better:• Low light performance isn’t great. Indoors or in the evening, photos can get grainy and a little washed out.• Video is fine for everyday use, but don’t expect super-smooth 4K like you’d get with a GoPro or higher-end camera.• The plastic build is okay, but it doesn’t feel as premium as more expensive models.• Accessories are a bit limited, so if you want mounts or extra gear you may need to buy separately.Bottom line:If you want a tough, budget-friendly camera for casual photography, travel, or outdoor adventures, the Kodiak PikPro does the job. It’s not going to compete with professional cameras, but for everyday memories and easy snapshots, it’s definitely worth the price.

Very Small and Discrete
I use my phone for a lot of pictures and it’s starting to eat up the memory. I wanted something small that I could carry in a pocket and this is perfect. The picture quality is excellent and it’s nice they’re so big- makes it easier to edit. The zoom works pretty good and it’s easy to move it back out. You’ll want to add a memory card as the phone’s memory doesn’t appear to be very large but it’s easy to install and remove from the battery area. I’ve used Kodak Pixmas for a very long time and I’ve been very satisfied with them overall. It’s easy to hook up to the computer although you’ll need to use their cord, maybe with a USB extender, as it’s not a C-type connection. There’s a lot of settings you can choose from although it’s a little tricky to get to them and it’s not very good at multiple action pictures at one time (like rapid-shooting); it’s better to video and edit later. All in all, I really love this little guy and definitely recommend it

It is a great camera that takes high quality photos. You’ll just need to make sure it comes with a memory card otherwise you’ll need to buy one as the camera’s storage is very small.

Such an amazing digital camera! Best option out there for a more affordable price point that still gives you those cool photos you want. I’ve recommended it to so many people.
Erg slecht –
Slechtste aankoop ooit. Doet het niet. Urenlang aan de lader maar geeft aan dat hij leeg is. Valt uit het niets uit en gaat niet meer aan
