Kodak PIXPRO WPZ2 Waterproof Review

The Kodak PIXPRO WPZ2 is a stylish point-and-shoot camera distinguished by its long-lasting build. It has a wide range of image capabilities and is protected against dust, water, and shock.

Its 16.35-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor allows for high-resolution still photography and recording of Full HD video with low noise and sensitivity ranging from ISO 100-3200. In addition, the quick performance enables burst shooting at full resolution at up to 6 frames per second and SD 480p video recording at 120 frames per second.

The imagery is complemented with a 4x optical zoom lens that can span fields of view ranging from wide-angle to short-telephoto, and digital image stabilization helps to eliminate the appearance of camera shake, resulting in more explicit photos.

In addition, a rear LCD panel measuring 2.7 inches with 230 thousand dots may be used for framing and evaluating images, and built-in Wi-Fi enables wireless transmission of photographs and movies to a mobile device connected to the camera.
