What owners say about the Kodak PIXPRO FZ55

Based on 57 owners sharing their experience in online comments

33%positive11%mixed56%negative

Owners like the fun, easy shooting and pleasing photos, but repeated startup failures and unreliable photo capture dominate complaints.

What owners dislike

  • Owners say photos are not good enough for demanding use: the lens lets in little light, so indoor shots need flash, and autofocus is weak.7
  • Some units do not switch on normally; they beep or stay dark until the battery is removed or the camera stays plugged into the charger.6
  • Photos sometimes come out blurry or pixelated, owners say, both on the camera and after transferring files to a phone or computer.4
  • Owners report colors that look muted, too dark, too bright, or greenish, and exposure that changes unpredictably between similar shots.4
  • Some owners see a 'no picture' message after taking a shot, and the camera sometimes fails to take a photo at all.4
  • The SD card can get stuck in the slot after removal, and some owners say the card reader stopped working with newer iPhone iOS versions.4
  • The screen dims quickly when left idle, and it is hard to see outdoors in bright sunlight, making the camera difficult to use.3
  • Some owners report video playback that stutters, freezes, or shows a 'slow access' error, and .MOV files that will not play on their laptop.3
  • Some owners say the filters disappear when flash is used, and filters or shooting modes are missing from some units, including some bought in Italy.3
  • Owners say the flash is unreliable: it can say it needs to charge and not fire, and it is hard to combine with filters.3

What customers don't like about Kodak PIXPRO FZ55

  • 200 shots per charge is short for a full day.
  • The 2.7 in screen is small for framing and checking shots.
  • There is no viewfinder, so the screen is the only way to frame.
  • Manual focus is missing, so focus is left to the camera.
  • No Wi-Fi means getting photos onto a phone takes extra steps.

Verdict

Light, small and easy to slip into a bag, the Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 suits someone who wants a simple camera for family days and short trips. At 106 g and 92 mm wide, it hardly takes up room in a jacket pocket. The 16 MP sensor and tracking autofocus keep a moving child or dog in frame, and continuous shooting runs at 5 fps. Video runs up to 90 min, and slow-motion and HDR modes add a bit of fun. The trade-off is the battery. With 200 shots from a 700 mAh cell, it runs down quickly on a long day, and the 2.7 in screen is small for framing. It fits a buyer who wants a light camera for holidays and does not expect much from the battery.
