Despite recent reports of Kodak heading towards bankruptcy (oh no we’re not!) like some kind of real-life pantomime, Kodak PixPro cameras remain on the market, as they’re manufactured under licence by another company, so should continue to remain for sale. The Kodak PixPro FZ45 is one of the cheapest new point and shoot compact cameras available from a recognised name brand. As such, it’s easy to see why this is a best seller at Amazon, as Kodak’s cheapest traditional point and shoot digital camera. It’s available for just $99 from Amazon US (link below) – in a number of different colours, or just £92 from Amazon UK (2nd link below). Another reason why this is popular, is because it’s got a real Xenon flash, whereas a lot of budget cameras have an LED flash, which simply doesn’t match the look of real flash.

- 16MP 1/2.3inch CMOS sensor

If these deals aren’t available near you, then check out these other options, shown above. When I reviewed it, I found it to be a fun take-anywhere camera, where you don’t have to worry too much. I also said: “If you want a budget compact camera, and don’t want to go for a second-hand camera, then the Kodak PixPro FZ45 is the cheapest branded camera available. For the price, under $100, the PixPro FZ45 gives reasonable results.”
