The compact camera revival is in full-swing, with new retro style cameras popping up all over the place, and this humble little Kodak PixPro camera is part of it, thanks to the compact size, attractive colours, and ESSENTIAL feature that is missing from a lot of budget compact cameras: the true Xenon flash. The Kodak PixPro FZ45 is available for only $99 in a choice of colours, making it a great deal, available to all from Amazon with or without Amazon Prime.
At a glance:
- 16MP 1/2.3inch CMOS sensor
- 4x optical zoom lens, f/3.0-6.6, 27-108mm equivalent
- 2.7inch screen (not-touch)
- FullHD 30p video recording
- 2x AA batteries
- P, M, Auto, Scene modes
- Panoramic mode
Here’s what we had to say in our review: “It offers the convenience of AA batteries, which will be welcome to some. There’s also a real Xenon flash, which gives you great results when out and about, with a nostalgic look that is difficult to recreate with an LED flash.”
If you’re looking for a budget compact camera, then have a look at the vintage cameras available second-hand, or for more retro options, have a look at the new Camp Snap 2 or original CampSnap review, or for something even more retro, check out the unique Chuzhao “TLR” digital camera.
