PIXPRO Friendly Zoom FZ45-RD 16MP Digital Camera, 4X Zoom, 27mm Wide Angle, 2.7" LCD Screen, Red

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! you have to mess with the settings to get it just how you want it, but that goes with any camera. The quality is perfect and this is an affordable camera option for good photos. I love the red metallic color. It’s the perfect size to take with you wherever you go. The instructions were easy to understand and it is very easy to use. I included some photos I took with the camera!

This digital camera is absolutely fantastic! The image quality is crisp and clear, even in different lighting conditions, and it’s very easy to use, even for beginners. The camera is lightweight, compact, and perfect for travel or everyday photos. I love how fast it focuses and how smoothly it captures both photos and videos. Battery life is solid, and the overall build feels sturdy and well-made. Definitely a great purchase and well worth the price—I’m extremely happy with it!

A bit of a struggle in the beginning. There is no SD card included First finding the right SD card is a struggle I researched a lot and I couldn’t find anything good. All reviews say not to buy the Kodak one because it won’t work. I found that buying a mini Sd card along with an adapter part works best. After I solved that problem my camera wouldn’t turn on I’d only used it once for 10mins. I did more research and found that the batteries in this pack are bad and will die quickly so make sure to buy different high quality batteries. After you sort out those problems the camera works perfectly and takes great photos.

Such a good camera! Got one for me and one as a gift. Super easy to use and is sturdy. I love the picture quality and I can take it anywhere.

Best digital cam I ever found for a really good price, amazing quality, super easy to use! SD card & adapter sold separately! Comes with a charger that works amazing & the battery lasts so long!

I don't leave reviews often, but I must. Bought this camera for my 7 year old kid for Christmas (he asked Santa for it), with a little practice and guidance he already takes really nice pictures of the family and we also use it sometimes and we love the pictures. I was considering 50-70 dollar digital cameras first, but the pictures quality was way worse, than on this one. BTW, special "thankyou" to those who post pictures, this is what helped me to make up my mind. Overall, the camera is VERY easy to use, the pics turn out great, the camera is very small and compact. I think it's great for teenagers, college students, younger people. Love it, I just hope, that it lasts!

The quality is great. I love this camera so much because the pictures look very professional (especially with the flash on in a dark lit room) but the videos are very retro and y2k looking and sound-ing. But it does come with its ups and downs. One of them being, it didn’t come with the proper supplies (double A batteries and an SD card and a picture transfer-er), the battery doesn’t last long, and it randomly freezes after 5-10 minutes of use. I haven’t used it in almost a month because it’s still frozen and I’m on the lookout for a new camera just in case I can’t fix it. Overall, it’s very good but because of the relatively low price, it will shut down sooner or later.
