Kodak Pixpro AZ653 review – serious reach at a sensible price
A 65x optical zoom in a compact body might be just the ticket for budget-conscious wildlife photographers. But have there been too many compromises? Peter Fenech investigates The post Kodak Pixpro AZ653 review – serious reach at a sensible price appeared first on Amateur Photographer .
The Kodak Pixpro AZ653 is an impressive camera for its price point, offering a versatile 65x optical zoom lens that rivals more expensive models. Measuring in at 20.68MP and equipped with a 1/2.3in BSI CMOS sensor, it provides solid image quality for its size. The camera features a comfortable design and impressive burst shooting capabilities at 5 frames per second.
The 1080p video is a useful feature, despite the lack of 4K capability. Kodak has opted for a fixed 3in LCD screen with a resolution of 460k dots, which may not be as responsive as some users would like. The inclusion of a rechargeable Li-ion battery and an OIS system further enhance the camera's practicality. While there are some trade-offs, such as poor low-light performance and a non-touch screen, the Kodak Pixpro AZ653 remains a worthy contender in the compact camera market.
