KODAK Pixpro WPZ2 - Compact Digital Camera 16M Pixels, Waterproof to 15m, Shockproof, Video 720p, LCD Screen 2.7 - Li-ion Battery, Blue

This is a very competent 'tough' zoom camera at a very good price ( £158 on Amazon ) It's rugged dustproof, sand proof, shockproof & waterproof down to 50 metres ( 165 ft ) and will fit into a jacket pocket. I have used it in teeming rain, swimming pools, seawater and of course on the beach - all with no problem.It has a built-in flash, optical zoom lens [ wide angle to short telephoto ], wi-fi, numerous scene modes including underwater. Also present are the usual shooting choices including Auto, Programme, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual & Panorama. Video can be shot in full HD.The viewing screen is bright, clear and easy to use both above and under water. It also performs very well as a general use camera for snapping everything from family groups to scenic views. The 4 x optical zoom lens copes well with both very bright and low light. Using the built in flash you can shoot in very poor light or use it to ' fill in ' and even out the amount of light needed for any picture.Does it really work under water - yes it does, though fifteen feet is the lowest I have ever taken it. Is it worth the money - yes, for use both as a specialist camera and as one for all general photographic uses.Is it fun - definitely!

I bought this to take on holiday in a few weeks I damaged one of my DSLR lens last year as sand got into it and I wanted to do some underwater photography.I wasn't expecting much and thought I would end up sending it back due to low quality images, turns out I was wrong. I have tested it my local area and got some very good pictures. The manual mode was bonus I got some good waterfall shots. I shall be keeping and I am looking forward to taking it in the sea.The video quality is also very good.The only minor annoyance is the timer resets itself after each shot.The app you can download and put on your phone is not very good, it keeps loosing connection so I won't be using that.Overall very impressed.Update 9/10/2024I took this camera on holiday to Croatia and got some great pictures. It mean't did not have carry my DSLR and I got some good underwater shots when I went snorkelling.A very, very good camera.

A good quality, basic instant camera, good quality photos, fully auto or manual control.In fact for what I need for work the quality is a little too good so even set on its lowest setting the file size of each photo is more than I need so I’m having to make sure that I zip up folders once I’m done to same space on my laptop. However it nice to have the choice of good quality shots when you need them and the zoom is excellent.I do keep hitting the off button by mistake as it’s very close to the photo button but I’m sure I will get used to it. I havoused it under water yet but certainly in heavy rain without any worries.

I bought this camera ready for a holiday in Egypt. I'm currently on said holiday and have used it for 2 days snorkeling of the beach. In water that was never deeper then 6ft as I could always reach the floor with my head above water. Snorkeling then over shallower coral outcrops. First of all... the screen is rubbish. You can't see anything in it when underwater. My old camera screen I could see fine so I know it's possible. The auto focus is rubbish which means point and click is very hit and miss. First that you actually have what you want in frame and second that if you do it's in focus. Again you can't check till later as you can't see the screen.The biggest issue is it is currently on charge and repeatedly cycling itself power on power off because despite being well within the maximum stated depth. The deepest the camera has been is probably 5ft from the surface. The screen seal looks to have failed. Allowing water into the camera.I am currently trying to charge the camera and keep it turned off. Battery compartment and memory slot area are bone dry. I'm used to this kind of camera and understand how important making sure its clean and properly locked prior to use.I shall be returning this after the holiday as it was defective. I just hope that I have a few decent photographs prior to it failing. Do not buy. Don't risk it ruining your holiday.Oh... and I don't know yet if this is important. But in the packaging was a note from the seller saying do not contact amazon for a dispute/refund but to contact the seller direct.We shall see how that goes. But thought it strange reading it when I first opened the box. Like they were already expecting issues.

The customer service I received was 5 star, when I was having trouble with the flash on my camera they offered solutions to try, failing that they talked me through sending the camera back for free and shipping me a new camera. This was an efficient process and I received my new camera extremely fast!Great camera quality for the price and I managed to connect it up through the WIFI although I haven’t tried this where the WIFI isn’t as strong.It is easy to set up without loads of complicated settings to work through, I am looking forward to using this on my travels!

I bought this because it is supposedly waterproof and shockproof. I have a knack for dropping cameras, so here's hoping this one will last me a wee while.I already note the poor design of the door one must open to access the memory card, the charging input, the battery. It is fiddly and I fear will malfunction soonest. The sound effects are poor, sounding phony and cheap.Having tried the zoom function I find the buttons to be weirdly rubbery and ineffective. Overall, this is poorer than other cameras I've had, in terms of its functionality. I can't recommend it.

I needed a new camera but I wanted a compact one & easy to use & this Kodak Camera fits the bill perfect.Has wifi too so easy to transfer your photos too. Great screen to see your picture photo well before you take it. Can adjust the lens & type of picture easy. Also waterproof as well. Fully recommend this product.
