Kodak PIXPRO Friendly Zoom FZ53-BK 16MP Digital Camera with 5X Optical Zoom and 2.7" LCD Screen (Black)

10/10

I like small cameras and this fits the bill. Had one before this and was dropped and broke, the second I dropped in a lake and stopped working. I then bought this one and enjoy using it. The pictures are good and fits in shirt pocket. Go to many collector car shows and want a small camera. Have a phone but prefer this camera.

Takes good photos, and videos

Great camera very fun good quality

Good camera but unfortunately the description stated that it was WiFi compatible but it doesn't have any WiFi capabilities. Thwt was the only reason I purchased this camera. Now I have a camera that has to be connected to a computer to download pictures. Not what was on the description.

Bought this as a gift for 12 year old. He loves it, it takes great pictures. It has several shooting functions and he is enjoying trying them all out. Takes great, clear pictures from very close to across a big room with excellent detail. They are nice, can use for videos and also has timer function so he can get in the pictures he is taking. Not a toy camera it is great quality, just what we wanted. Small enough to be easily portable, fits in a pocket but we did get him a carrying case. The battery life is good, but I think I am going to get him a backup battery so he has one charged while he is using one and therefore never runs out of power. I would highly recommend.

Don't waste your money on this camera... I purchased one of these for my daughter, for her to use at her job taking photos for the local antique store (she needs something small and lightweight)... When it arrived she made sure the battery was charged, and once that was done, that everything was installed correctly... She took it around the house taking photos of various items to test the image quality before taking it to use at work, and it was some of the worst quality we have ever seen... The photos were grainy as could be when installed on her computer. (It should probably be noted that my daughter is no stranger to operating digital cameras similar to this.)... She tried every setting combination possible, and still couldn't get an image good enough to be able to use for her job... The camera screen would sometimes make the image shake as if in an earthquake, and it was difficult to get it to stop once it started... The flash wasn't always activating, though it was turned on (and a reliable flash is needed, as the lighting in the antique store isn't the best)... Also, if you activated the macro setting, it wouldn't allow the flash to be used. (She's never had a camera that did that stupidity.)... To top that off, if you activated the image stabilization mode it wouldn't let the flash be on... She booted it up this morning (thinking she would give it another chance), and the battery was less than half charged from just sitting (she'd checked the charge when she was done testing it yesterday, and it was still fully charged according to the camera)... Also, it apparently doesn't have its own software, as it was installing the photos using software she already has (she has to select it, as no option for the camera itself came up.)... It was the worst camera we've ever had, and we're in the process of returning it.

I thought I'd try this little camera... I had a bad experience with the one I recently purchased before this one. I do trust the name Kodak. It arrived yesterday and as I was taking it out of the box I was thinking it looks just like the other one that was bad. No problem whatsoever with this little gem. I am just wanting to take pictures of some Christmas decorations, things outdoors, my cats, nothing fancy. I am amazed by how easy this was to set up, take pictures, then upload. I am thrilled! The picture quality is as good as my expensive Fuji. So happy I bought this good really lightweight camera.
