Kodak PIXPRO WPZ2 16MP 4x Zoom Tough Compact Camera - Blue

This is a very competent 'tough' zoom camera at a very good price ( £158 on Amazon ) It's rugged dustproof, sand proof, shockproof & waterproof down to 50 metres ( 165 ft ) and will fit into a jacket pocket. I have used it in teeming rain, swimming pools, seawater and of course on the beach - all with no problem. It has a built-in flash, optical zoom lens [ wide angle to short telephoto ], wi-fi, numerous scene modes including underwater. Also present are the usual shooting choices including Auto, Programme, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual & Panorama. Video can be shot in full HD. The viewing screen is bright, clear and easy to use both above and under water. It also performs very well as a general use camera for snapping everything from family groups to scenic views. The 4 x optical zoom lens copes well with both very bright and low light. Using the built in flash you can shoot in very poor light or use it to ' fill in ' and even out the amount of light needed for any picture. Does it really work under water - yes it does, though fifteen feet is the lowest I have ever taken it. Is it worth the money - yes, for use both as a specialist camera and as one for all general photographic uses. Is it fun - definitely!

I really recommend this camera it’s so easy to transfer the photos to your phone and it’s really good quality. I’ve had it for about a month or two now and only charged it twice, therefore it has a good battery life. The colour accuracy is really good compared to photos taken on my phone. Even for taking videos the sound quality is amazing it’s a great value for money and definitely fun for kids aswell as it’s easy to use.

I bought this camera a month ago for my daughter's birthday, which is today, as I didn't want to risk them having the colour I knew she would like. She was really thrilled to get it, but whilst getting to know the camera, she realised that the flash didn't work. No matter what setting we put it on, it just wouldn't work. I've managed to get my money back (thanks, Amazon!), but having briefly experienced the camera, I was really underwhelmed by what you get for the price... The battery cover/door was flimsy and difficult to open, and had a clear gap, which I can't for the life of me imagine would keep out any water. Picture quality was poor, and there were very limited settings. Looks good, felt good in the hand, with its metal body, but otherwise inferior to a phone camera.

This is a small, light, self buoyant, waterproof and rugged camera. It works as described. Picture quality is quite good (but not like a decent DSLR) and, perhaps unfairly, that's why I've docked a star. Seems strong and well built. Sold at a very acceptable price.

I bought this to take on holiday in a few weeks I damaged one of my DSLR lens last year as sand got into it and I wanted to do some underwater photography. I wasn't expecting much and thought I would end up sending it back due to low quality images, turns out I was wrong. I have tested it my local area and got some very good pictures. The manual mode was bonus I got some good waterfall shots. I shall be keeping and I am looking forward to taking it in the sea. The video quality is also very good. The only minor annoyance is the timer resets itself after each shot. The app you can download and put on your phone is not very good, it keeps loosing connection so I won't be using that. Overall very impressed. Update 9/10/2024 I took this camera on holiday to Croatia and got some great pictures. It mean't did not have carry my DSLR and I got some good underwater shots when I went snorkelling. A very, very good camera.

Spot on, easy to use and perfect for my needs as it spends most of its time underwater videoing and photographing fish etc

My daughter Just unpacked her new Kodak WPZ2 . The camera looks great, but the first thing that surprised me was that the lens does not have a cover, or a way to protect the lens. This to me is a design flaw. Is there a cover one can buy for the lens? Also there should be a mention that the SD card is not included, and an offer to buy that together with the camera (like the mention of the camera case). While I did not interfere with the selection of the camera, I find the exposed camera lens an issue especially if in a desert, beach or rugged terrain (or in the hands of children) a drawback. One can buy a cover for the back screen, but I think the design should include a solid exterior to protect the camera lens and screen. This looks like a design flaw to me. I will do an update here after buying her an SD card and taking a few photos.

This camera is great. I bought it to keep in my buoyancy aid while kayaking. It's survived a few trips so it's definitely waterproof. The image quality is reasonably decent. For the price it's definitely worth it. There are a couple of downsides to the camera that I have found. The app to connect to your phone is next to useless and just crashes on startup. I'm not too worried about this as it's easy enough to connect the SD card to the computer. Also the image stabilization was quite bad initially. I had to find there's a scene type called anti-shake that adds the image stabilization in. It feels like it's something that should have been set by default.

Compre esta cámara y la calidad de la imagen es increíble y las fotos lo saca muy bonitos y los filtros increíble Se defiende muy bien con las fotos en la noche, al igual la función de a prueba de agua funciona perfectamente

Super pour les voyages! je recommande!!!

It's good for photos in a pool.

Nice stuff .....
