Review on πŸ“· Kodak PIXPRO Astro Zoom AZ901-BK: Powerful 20MP Digital Camera with 90X Optical Zoom and 3" LCD Screen (Black) - Ultimate Zooming Capability! by David Lesperance

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Plastic, slow, disappointing.

I've used the 60x Lumix as my everyday camera for years and love it and have recommended it to many people. When I saw that Kodak had developed a 90x zoom camera, I was really excited to see the increase in range and performance. But cheers! It was ridiculously slow. What was slower was the autofocus. It missed or blurred every sample of the recording I took. I tried several focal lengths and tried several photos of birds - they were all blurry or the bird had time to fly away. I have 30 years experience in photography and this is by far the worst camera I have ever held in my hands. From the outside and from photos online it looks like solid equipment. Unfortunately it isn't. It's also the first camera I've ever used that you plug directly into an outlet to charge the battery. It doesn't come with an adapter, which is a design flaw for those who like to travel or want to charge the battery on the go. Save your money until they fix the bugs in this camera.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not the best
