Our take on the KODAK PIXPRO FZ43 Compact Digital Camera

The Kodak PIXPRO FZ43 is a small point-and-shoot built for simplicity: a 27mm wide-angle lens, 720p HD video, a 2.7-inch LCD and one-touch recording. It runs on AA batteries, so you can swap in fresh cells anywhere instead of hunting for a charger. It suits casual shooters, travelers and families who want an inexpensive, easy camera for snapshots and short clips. Against phones and pricier compacts it gives up image quality, low-light performance and video resolution, and owners rate it around 3.9 out of 5, praising its ease of use while noting soft photos and slow performance.
