Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kodak PIXPRO AZ425

  • A 42 x optical zoom brings distant subjects close.
  • 4 stop stabilization steadies shots at full zoom.
  • Tracking autofocus keeps a moving subject sharp.
  • Continuous shooting at 5 fps catches a short run of action.
  • HDR mode balances bright skies and dark shadows in one frame.
  • Two microphones are built in for video sound.

What customers don't like about Kodak PIXPRO AZ425

  • Small 1.2 µm pixels make low-light pictures grainy.
  • Battery life of 240 shots is short for a full day out.
  • At 444 g it is heavy to carry on long walks.
  • There is no manual focus, so you cannot set focus by hand.
  • No weather sealing and no waterproofing mean rain is a risk.

Verdict

With a 42 x optical zoom, the Kodak PIXPRO AZ425 pulls distant subjects close, whether that is a bird in a tree or a player across a football pitch. The 4 stop image stabilization helps at full reach, where a small shake turns into a blurry shot. Tracking autofocus keeps a moving dog or child sharp, and the camera shoots 5 fps while you hold the button. Its 1.2 µm pixels are small, so the pictures get noisy once the light drops, and the top sensitivity is 3200 ISO. The battery lasts 240 shots, so pack a spare. At 444 g and 84 mm thick, it sits in a bag rather than a pocket. It suits a day-out photographer who wants one camera for far-away scenes and does not mind a bigger body.
