So far the Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 has been working as expected. It takes decent snapshots. The accompanying image is downsized from 4608x3456 to 900x675 pixels. So, it really doesn't represent the possible resolution. but shows the color and contrast. It has a nice wide angle default image and somewhat decent optical zoom to 4X. As it is with most digital devices, going beyond that into digital zoom isn't valuable to me. It comes with a brief starter manual. You can easily find the full manual online to unlock all of the capabilities.. I added a cheap plastic screen protector for the back because the glass is pretty exposed. I'd say that with an inexpensive 32 gig microSD memory card and a second battery, you'd be pretty set to take a week's worth of photos on a trip. I generally don't do much with videos but they are ok for this sort of camera.
One issue with the features is that the Wifi is for connecting to a cell phone app to show pictures via your phone. From what I've found, I can't simply download images to my PC with the camera's Wifi. It has a supplied USB cord for that or you can transfer them from the memory card.
So, the two shots are unaltered. One is wide angle and the other is full 24X of the same building. One issue is that the protective glass over the lens can very easily get a greasy fingerprint on it.
