Review on 📷 Kodak PIXPRO Astro Zoom AZ252-RD: 16MP Digital Camera with 25X Optical Zoom, 3" LCD - Red - Enhanced Photography Experience! by Tiffany Villavicencio

I think most if not all negative reviews about autofocus issues were user error. It's not exactly a point camera. The main thing, which is easy to miss, is that you have to half-press the shutter button until the square on the screen turns green, and then press it all the way down. Otherwise, the auto focus will not work properly. If you're looking for standard point-and-shoot, you probably won't like this camera. But if you don't mind playing with the settings a bit and accepting that it's a learning curve, this camera is capable of some truly amazing shots. I definitely didn't want anything too complicated, but I wanted more than just aiming and shooting, and it's a good compromise, especially for the price. Of course I'm sure the quality of more expensive DSLRs won't work, but I'm not a pro, I just want decent shots of my son that my regular Android phone can't, which is more than adequate. And like I said, I wasn't impressed with point-and-shoot cameras in my price range, especially with a fast-moving toddler in various scenes. I needed something with more customizable features and this camera fits my needs perfectly.
