5.0 out of 5 stars Great value
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024
Was looking for a cheap digicam and this definitely serves its purpose. Good battery life, great flash photos, decent non flash photos, very user friendly.

For those saying the battery life is bad, I would just recommend that upon getting the camera follow the directions and charge for 4+ hours before first use, this makes the biggest impact on electronics battery life. I have not had this camera die on me yet and I’ve used it a good bit.

If you want the digi cam look but don’t want to do the research and go out of your way to get a vintage one, this is your camera. But do take into consideration it is a fairly cheap camera. I was gifted a canon power shot sd630 after I got this and it’s photos are far more what I was wanting, but I’m glad I have this as my back up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera for international travel!
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2023
I purchased the Kodak pixPro FZ55 for several reasons: a) I needed a smaller camera that took up less space in my luggage and/or travel backpack; b) used Li-ion rechargeable batteries that could be charged either in the camera or in a small charger; c) took good photos, day or night, of people, buildings, and scenery; d) took good video using 32 or 64 GB SD cards; and e) cost less than $150.00 (for a point and shoot camera!). I received my camera in three working days, opened the box, read the instruction manual, charged the battery (comes partially charged), and put the camera through its paces for a week.

Likes and Dislikes: Look at the comparison photo of my "normal-sized" DSLR with carrying strap and regular lens, and the Kodak next to it. Camera fits in my hand. When I travel internationally, usually eight to ten days, I do not use checked luggage; I use only a backpack carry-on that actually fits in the overhead without being offensive to fellow passengers. To do that, the choice in cameras is obvious. Why not just use my cell phone? Because of the increasing number of folks who have lost 'em, dropped 'em, or had 'em stolen. Camera setup using on-screen prompts easy to understand and follow, menu choices easy to ascertain and follow too. Camera takes good photos outdoors as seen in several of the other photos. Zoom (telephoto) capability is average, as seen by the two photos with the white building and vehicles in the distance. Camera doesn't compensate well when too much light is coming in as seen in one photo with bright vegetation and tree shadows, but that can be adjusted with better technique and composition. Macro photos tend to be "flat", as seen in one photo, but I expected that without f-stop adjustments or using a tripod. Again, use of better technique would probably help. Also need to think about space and weight in the travel bag.

Zoom is smooth with normal low buzzing sound found in higher-priced point and shoot cameras. LCD screen is small, but I expected that because of the overall smallness of the camera. For me, I can still see the screen image fine. Indoor photos with flash are passable, but one must be close to subject due to reduced flash output. Flash turns "on" and "off" easily. Timer works well, 2s &10s delay with audible beep when ready to shoot. Use caution and a careful touch when opening the camera to insert or retrieve SD card and/or battery located in same slot, and check that camera is OFF when trying to access the port, located on the bottom corner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pocket sized camera
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2024
This camera is very compact but also durable. It is exactly what we were looking for. My daughter loves bringing it to concerts and it takes beautiful photos. Also the battery life is great, she said she only needs to charge it about every three weeks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for starter/kids
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2024
We bought this camera for my son that is 12 years old. Size is great, not too small not too big, fits in his pockets. Battery life is okay, could last longer but he can go a few hours snapping pictures. Has different modes he can use to adapt to the picture he is taking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Use, Horrible Picture Quality
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023
I purchased this to replace an old Sony Cybershot, and I had to return it. It is cute, lightweight, and super easy to use right out of the box, but the picture quality is horrible. I took the same picture with my old Sony Cybershot and this camera, and the picture from this camera was somehow both pixelated and fuzzy. The zoom feature does not seem to work properly and produce clear photos. Even though I'm not a professional photographer, I want pictures of family vacations to look halfway decent and this does not do that. I think that I got better pictures with an iPhone 6.

Overall, if you want decent photos, don't buy this - the picture quality is atrocious.

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
Surprised by the quality & love the price! It's loads of fun bringing a digital camera along to capture memories-- much more tactile than a smartphone camera. I originally was looking into getting a Canon Powershot, but those can be around $300 (ouch) This price is great, the camera is slim and portable, and the pictures come out clear. Battery seems to last a while, too. Overall, very happy with this purchase! (btw all of these pictures are without flash but the flash works great too)

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024
Love the camera, takes wonderful pictures these pictures are from my first time using it and I love them. Only thing is the shutter release can be slow at capturing the moment when trying to take multiple pictures back to back it’s not convenient but still works nonetheless.
