   I am currently taking a digital photography course and needed an affordable digital camera to use for projects. This one is a good price for what it is able to do; the image quality is great (don’t be fooled by what you see on the camera’s screen, the images look fantastic once loaded onto a computer) and i personally found the controls to be easy to learn for a beginner (even without a manual) but I just wasn’t satisfied with the focus. This camera does not have manual focus as a feature, only auto focus, so you’re kinda at the mercy of it. I personally would like to be in full control of my camera and its settings, but unfortunately this camera lacks a feature that I find is imperative to its use. At first I thought it was my fault that the camera would not focus, maybe I was too shaky or breathing too much etc. etc., but after some trial and error and a bit of research- I found that the main problem with this camera is its inability to focus well. It will focus, it just takes a Herculean amount of effort to get it to do so.
   I’d say that the KODAK AZ405 is great for those looking for a relatively cheaper option with which to begin their photography journey, but if you are considering buying this model I’ll warn you to make sure that you have enough patience to deal with its focusing issue to prevent becoming so frustrated that you throw it out a window.

   This camera is terrible in every aspect and design, to get the SD card out you have to open the battery compartment, which when doing so you loose all the settings as in date and time on the camera and you have to completely reset everything. If you use the cord to download the pictures to your computer instead of taking out the card it drains the batteries very quickly. Even when not using the cord to download, the batteries drain very quickly, it’s such an issue that it’s one of the trouble shooting things that they have listed with this camera. There solution is to shut off any apps or things on the camera you’re not using, tells you to turn down the brightness of the screen. Really your solution to this problem is to disable features that are on this camera, what’s the point of having those features if when using them they drain the batteries very quickly. Let me explain what I use this camera for, to take pictures of items I sell on line. I put in a new set of energizer batteries, tested them with my ohm/volt tester, they tested 1.58 volts. I took 17 pictures downloaded them by using the cord and then I took 10 more pictures and the camera shut off and right before it did it said batteries expired. So I took the batteries out and tested them and they tested 1.28 volts, which will make most things still run, like my game cameras. There’s definitely an issue with these cameras and the power they use and how fast they drain batteries. I’ve also have had it lock up and stop working several times and it wouldn’t shut off or do anything, had to open up the battery compartment which takes all the power from the camera so it will reset and then close it and then turn it back on. I had a Sony Cyber shot which they don’t make anymore, for over 10 years and I took literally thousands of pictures with it and it cost half as much and the pictures were clearer and of higher quality than what this camera is capable of taking. I would still be using the Sony, but some how it developed a gray spot that was showing up in all of my pictures and it was causing potential buyers to ask what that spot was on the item. So I had to stop using it and bought this camera thinking it would work great for what I was doing and also work great for taking pictures of nature and wildlife. I wish I would have sent it back right away, but I figured I would give it a chance to get better, because they said it would if I did the update. Well it’s only gotten worse with time instead of better.

   The media could not be loaded.

   I pick this camera for the price, I’m really happy for it. The image quality is pretty good in photos, but taking a video could be a little bit messy when zooming in/out, after 30x focusing is bad and the time to get a sharp image is kind of slow, even using a tripod. If you want to shoot a video zooming in, especially for moving objects, this isn’t the best product for you; however, if you are an amateur like me and use a camera from time to time, this is a good option.

   I purchased this point and shoot camera to have on hand while I travel. As a an artistic photographer it is important to have a tool like the Pixpro to capture images that come out of nowhere. It performs well at both tight macro and zoom settings. The images are sharp and perfect for the enlargements I use for my final prints. The small downside is the need to carry spare AA batteries. To that end I would recommend investing in a AA charger and a set of rechargeable batteries. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
   Consider investing in a hard shell case as well.

   Here’s a review based on your input:

   “I ordered two of these for my granddaughters’ tablets, and they are perfect! They fit great and were incredibly easy to put on. The tablets are now well-protected, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality. Highly recommend!”

    Good camera overall for the price. Only thing I missed was it doesn’t have a wireless way to transfer photos to other devices. Still happy with it
