Is the Kodak PIXPRO AZ425 worth it?

Yes if you mainly shoot outdoors in daylight and want a long zoom cheaply. If you shoot indoors or fast action, a larger-sensor camera or a good phone will do better.

How far can the AZ425 zoom?

The lens runs from 24mm wide angle to 1008mm equivalent, a 42x optical zoom. That is enough to fill the frame with a bird or a distant player from across a field.

Does it shoot 4K video?

No. Video tops out at 1080p HD in MOV format. That is fine for casual clips but behind current 4K compacts.

Expect the camera, a rechargeable battery, a charger or USB cable, a strap, and a quick start guide. A memory card is not included, so buy an SD card separately.

When is the AZ425 cheapest?

Our take on the Kodak PIXPRO AZ425

The Kodak PIXPRO AZ425 is a bridge-style point-and-shoot built around a 42x zoom lens covering 24-1008mm, so it reaches far beyond any phone camera. It pairs a 20MP back-illuminated 1/2.3-inch sensor with a 3-inch-class body, full manual controls, and 1080p video. Its best new price is $229.99 at B&H Photo-Video-Audio as of November 5, 2026, with three stores listing it new. That is a modest price for this zoom range, though the small sensor limits low-light quality.

Pros

42x optical zoom (24-1008mm) covers wide angle to extreme telephoto
20MP BSI CMOS sensor is decent in good light
Full manual, aperture, and shutter priority modes for learning
1080p video and SD card storage keep costs low
Light and simple compared with a DSLR and telephoto lens

Cons

Small 1/2.3-inch sensor struggles indoors and at high ISO
Slow f/3 maximum aperture at the wide end, narrower when zoomed
JPEG only, no RAW capture
Autofocus and burst speed are basic; not built for fast action
1080p video is dated next to 4K rivals
