Our take on the Kodak PixPro FZ45 Friendly Zoom Digital Camera

The Kodak PixPro FZ45 is a small point-and-shoot with a 16MP CMOS sensor, a 27mm wide-angle lens and a 4x optical zoom. It records 1080p Full HD video and has a 2.7-inch rear screen. It suits casual shooters, kids and travelers who want a simple, light camera with real optical zoom instead of a phone. Against rivals it is basic: no image stabilization, no touchscreen, and image quality trails pricier compacts, but it is easy to use and inexpensive for what it does.
