Kodak PIXPRO FZ43 Review

The KODAK PIXPRO FZ43 Digital Camera, available in black, is a point-and-shoot digital camera that features a 16.15-megapixel 1/2.3-inch sensor “CCD sensor that is capable of producing high-resolution photographs and HD 720p/30 video along with a sensitivity range of ISO 80-1600 to accommodate working in a variety of environments.

The lens has a focal length range of 27-108mm, making it capable of covering wide-angle to short-telephoto viewpoints despite its tiny size. Additionally, the lens has a 4x optical zoom capability, making it highly adaptable.
