  • Our take on the Kodak PIXPRO AZ255 Astro Zoom 16 MP 25x Digital Camera - Red

    The Kodak PIXPRO AZ255 is a budget bridge camera with a 25x optical zoom that covers 24-600mm, so it handles wide landscapes and distant subjects without changing lenses. It pairs a 16 MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor with a 1/2.3-inch size, full HD 1080p video, a 3-inch LCD and manual plus semi-automatic exposure modes. It suits beginners and casual shooters who want reach and simplicity, but its small sensor and f/3.7 maximum aperture limit low-light and shallow depth-of-field work. Against rivals like the Nikon Coolpix B500 and Canon PowerShot SX540 HS, it offers similar zoom range and resolution at the entry end, with fewer advanced features and weaker high-ISO performance than pricier bridge models.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Kodak AZ255 good for beginners?
    Yes. It has scene modes and semi-automatic plus manual settings, so you can start simple and learn exposure control. The long zoom makes it versatile for travel and family use.
    Does it shoot video?
    It records full HD 1080p video in MOV and MJPEG format and has an HDMI port for playback on a TV. There is no 4K option.
    Can I use it in low light?
    Only with care. The 1/2.3-inch sensor and f/3.7 lens limit light gathering, so expect noise indoors and at dusk. A tripod and the built-in flash help.
    What memory card does it take?
    It uses SD and SDHC cards and has 67 MB of internal storage as a fallback. SDXC cards are not listed as supported.
    Does it have a viewfinder?
    No. Framing is done on the rear LCD screen only, which can be hard to see in bright sun.
    How does it compare with the Nikon Coolpix B500?
    Both are budget bridge cameras with long zooms and small sensors. The AZ255 adds manual exposure modes, while the B500 is simpler and relies more on automatic shooting.
