Verdict
Kodak PIXPRO AZ405 has a 40x zoom with stabilisation that holds at full reach, but poor low-light shots and no Wi-Fi hold it back.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kodak PIXPRO AZ405

  • A 30 fps burst catches fast action.
  • A 40 x optical zoom reaches far-off sports and wildlife.
  • 300 shots per charge goes a long way on a day out.
  • The battery is removable, so a spare is easy to carry.
  • The 20 MP sensor leaves room to crop photos.
  • Slow-motion video is available for fast moments.

What customers don't like about Kodak PIXPRO AZ405

  • No Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or phone remote means getting photos to a phone is a manual job.
  • No manual focus limits fine control.
  • At 436 g and 84.4 mm thick, it is bulky for a jacket pocket.
  • The expanded ISO stops at 3200 ISO, so there is no extra range for dim scenes.
  • No RAW capture limits editing later.

Verdict

The 30 fps burst is the main reason to look at the Kodak PIXPRO AZ405, which catches a golf swing or a bird in flight. A 40 x optical zoom brings distant sports and wildlife closer. At 436 g and 84.4 mm thick it is a camera for a bag, not a jacket pocket. The 20 MP BSI sensor leaves room to crop in on a subject after the shot. The battery is removable and gives 300 shots, which goes a long way on a sports day. The trade-off is that the camera stays offline, with no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or phone remote, and no manual focus for fine control. It suits a buyer who shoots fast sport or wildlife from one spot and does not need a phone link.
