Review: Awesome camera for a great price. - 16MP photos with 42x optical zoom for less than $160! This camera is a terrific value for the options you get. I once had a Fuji camera that was comparable, but I paid way more than $160 for it. This camera is a beauty and will be in my possession for a long time. Perfect. Update: 12/8/2017. After having this camera for over a year, I still stand by my original statement in that it is a great camera. I have had problems however with indoor, low-lighting shots. For example, a children's Christmas singing pageant had pics and videos that came out very orange and blurry, no matter what setting I used (and I was using a tripod), and also in 'It's a Small World' at Disney. Hope that song isn't stuck in your head now. But the lighting in there is similar (low-light, moving animatronics), and all of the shots I took were blurry and useless. Was trying to get reaction shots of a three-year-old (my granddaughter), but none were usable. Outdoor pics and videos are ace! Long zoom photos are ace if you use a tripod and delayed shutter. I use the two second delay so the camera has time to stabilize after I've hit the shutter button. Indoor shots with low-lighting are a problem. Not sure how to overcome this.
Review: Camera Defective Battery Issue - UPDATE: I just got the new battery and it fixed the issue! This is a very light camera that takes wonderful pics! But.... My biggest issue is that I just purchased this camera brand new, it got here Monday to only find out it only turns on when on the charger, no matter how long you charge it. I read the instructions over and over, after looking up more info about my problem it is apparently a common issue with this camera. I emailed KodakPixPro regarding my issue and they are sending me a new battery for free to try to fix that issue. I am pretty bummed about it overall though, I was such excited to take pics of my Furbabies but I have to hook it up to the charger to take any pics, it immediately turns off and doesn't turn back on once I take it off the charger. Must be a common defective issue with this camera.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How fast is this camera.  (This is my biggest complaint about the small digitals - they are SO slow!)**
A: It depends on what setting you have your shots on. Mines on face beautify and portrait and its slower at taking shots because of that but regular settings is faster. :) I'm a professional photographer and this camera has done well.

**Q: Where do I get the batteries and a charger for them?**
A: This camera comes with a battery/charger, here is a list of the accessories included by Kodak:*LB-060 Li-ion Battery*Neck Strap*Lens Cap with Strap*AC Adapter*USB Cable*Software CD-ROM*Quick Start Guide

**Q: will this camera record good video?**
A: Video quality is excellent.

**Q: What type of memory card does this use? Specs say sdxc**
A: The KODAK PIXPRO AZ421 takes a Standard SDHC "SD Card" we do not recommend using "Ultra", "Extreme", "SDXC" or other more expensive SD cards as these are not always compatible. Sticking to no more than 32GB of storage memory is also recommended as larger cards are not to spec. A 32GB SD card will store thousands of photos and videos.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty Good Camera
*by S***N on March 11, 2021*

I am not a camera buff, so can only judge from that standpoint. Just needed a quick point-and-shoot really. I like the weight and design so that I can hold onto it well. Not a fan of the strap and the attached lens cover. Taking them back off. They just get in the way all the time when I'm trying to take a picture. Not of fan of the reddish coloring in the skin tone that I can't get rid of. Also not a fan of "waiting for the green light" before taking the picture (not sure if all cameras do this as of late?) but the button is too touchy and it takes the picture all the time before I get the go-ahead green light. Even with the green light, the skin tone is a little too red. Not bad, but compared to my old cheap camera, it's obvious. Probably best for folks that know more about cameras. Also...why can't we have an instruction manual anymore? Who wants to print out and keep on hand so many pages!
