Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kodak PIXPRO WPZ2

  • A 15 m waterproof rating covers rain, surf and a dip in the sea.
  • Weather sealing keeps wet weather out of the body.
  • It works down to -10 °C, so winter trips are covered.
  • Continuous shooting at 6 fps helps with moving subjects.
  • The removable battery means a spare is easy to carry.
  • Wi-Fi and a phone remote let you fire the shutter from a smartphone.

What customers don't like about Kodak PIXPRO WPZ2

  • 200 shots per charge is short for a full day.
  • The 2.7 in screen is small for framing.
  • There is no flip-out or touchscreen, so framing from odd angles is harder.
  • Only one microphone records the sound for video.

Verdict

Rain, mud and a dip in the sea are no problem for the Kodak PIXPRO WPZ2, which is waterproof to 15 m. It is also weather sealed and works down to -10 °C, so cold slopes are fine. At 176 g it is easy to hold in one hand and carry on a boat or a hike. Continuous shooting at 6 fps and 25 focus points help keep a moving child or a dog in focus. Wi-Fi and a phone remote let you fire the shutter from a smartphone. The trade-off is battery life, with 200 shots from a 700 mAh cell, and the 2.7 in screen is small for framing. Slow-motion and HDR modes are included. It suits a buyer who wants one camera for the beach and the trail.
