Title: Great camera for international travel!
Review: I purchased the Kodak pixPro FZ55 for several reasons: a) I needed a smaller camera that took up less space in my luggage and/or travel backpack; b) used Li-ion rechargeable batteries that could be charged either in the camera or in a small charger; c) took good photos, day or night, of people, buildings, and scenery; d) took good video using 32 or 64 GB SD cards; and e) cost less than $150.00 (for a point and shoot camera!). I received my camera in three working days, opened the box, read the instruction manual, charged the battery (comes partially charged), and put the camera through its paces for a week.Likes and Dislikes: Look at the comparison photo of my "normal-sized" DSLR with carrying strap and regular lens, and the Kodak next to it. Camera fits in my hand. When I travel internationally, usually eight to ten days, I do not use checked luggage; I use only a backpack carry-on that actually fits in the overhead without being offensive to fellow passengers. To do that, the choice in cameras is obvious. Why not just use my cell phone? Because of the increasing number of folks who have lost 'em, dropped 'em, or had 'em stolen. Camera setup using on-screen prompts easy to understand and follow, menu choices easy to ascertain and follow too. Camera takes good photos outdoors as seen in several of the other photos. Zoom (telephoto) capability is average, as seen by the two photos with the white building and vehicles in the distance. Camera doesn't compensate well when too much light is coming in as seen in one photo with bright vegetation and tree shadows, but that can be adjusted with better technique and composition. Macro photos tend to be "flat", as seen in one photo, but I expected that without f-stop adjustments or using a tripod. Again, use of better technique would probably help. Also need to think about space and weight in the travel bag.Zoom is smooth with normal low buzzing sound found in higher-priced point and shoot cameras. LCD screen is small, but I expected that because of the overall smallness of the camera. For me, I can still see the screen image fine. Indoor photos with flash are passable, but one must be close to subject due to reduced flash output. Flash turns "on" and "off" easily. Timer works well, 2s &10s delay with audible beep when ready to shoot. Use caution and a careful touch when opening the camera to insert or retrieve SD card and/or battery located in same slot, and check that camera is OFF when trying to access the port, located on the bottom corner.

Title: Cute Travel Digital Camera
Review: Bought this camera for a simple camera to use while traveling when I didn't want to take my huge Panasonic camera but still wanted a camera that wasn't on my phone, for safety purposes and also the anxiety of possibly losing or dropping my phone (either off high places, overboard, etc.). Many people say that it isn't worth it, and with the development of quality in phone cameras, why even bother buying a digital one that provides less quality photos than that of your phone, that almost everyone has and carries with them at all times? I personally like having a compact, portable camera that is less of an investment than an expensive smart phone in the case it gets stolen, dropped, damaged, etc. This in itself is an appeal for me to purchase a digital camera to use instead of my iPhone. It was a great alternative to my phone, allowing me to keep my phone tucked away in a pocket or a bag, while still being able to take photographs while on my trips. I really liked the red color offered, as I try to buy everything red. The camera itself is compact and portable, it was super easy to conceal and travel with, adding little weight to my travel bags. The camera is very easy to use, allowing different shooting settings, zoom, and even video recordings. The battery lasts quite a while too, but I bought secondary batteries just in case. I also really appreciate the fact the camera utilizes a rechargeable battery, so you can charge it on trips when you have a break and you don't have to be constantly carrying a set of AAs. The picture quality itself is high, in my personal opinion, really good for the price that you're paying and the compactness of the camera. The video quality could be better, but is decent for the size and price of the camera. If you're zooming in a lot, the video quality is obviously compensated, and the audio quality in videos isn't the best, but. You get what you pay for, and in this case, you actually get better. It's well worth the money, providing video-recording abilities and high quality photographs. I highly recommend this camera for anybody looking for a camera for the same purposes as I. It's well worth the money and has exceeded my expectations in performance. It would also be a great starter camera for someone looking for a simple point-and-shoot camera, or for adolescents looking to get into the camera/photography community. Obviously if you're a professional photographer, I wouldn't recommend this camera, but I doubt anybody professional is looking to take high-quality, professional photographs with a simple point-and-shoot camera. For the price, quality, and performance, this camera is well worth the money, and I highly recommend it!(:

Title: HIGH QUALITY!!
Review: This was honestly one of the best products i’ve gotten. Though it did take a little bit to get it was so worth it. The Battery life is great and it came in good condition. The camera quality is super good for the price. It doesn’t come with a a memory card but it wasn’t too expensive. I love having this and there’s a lot of features.

Title: Good Camera
Review: This camera produces good quality pictures and overall gets the job done! The pictures come out pretty nice and give that exact smooth Pinterest digital camera picture. You can also include the time+date stamp at the bottom! It’s easy to use and perfect for beginners. Despite this its battery life is a little meh. But if you turn it off when not in use you’ll be fine. Additionally, you have to hold the camera super still or else your pictures can come out blurry. It processes pretty slow too (like 2-3 seconds) but it’s not a big deal. It also makes sound when you turn it on and off as well as when you take a picture which can be a little awkward. Good and affordable option for a digital camera.

Review: Honestly was very hesitant as I saw lots of options that were going around when I was doing my research but this one is awesome! The quality is good and gives that nostalgic warm feel (I’m use to using disposable cameras so that’s exactly what I was going for) but it’s easy to use, battery is great, I haven’t needed to recharge it since I got it and it’s given me some great memories:)

Review: I used this camera on my honeymoon which was super convenient for its compact size. Takes great quality pictures in the right lighting and the flash is strong enough for darker light. A little on the pricey side but gives great memories with a vintage and raw vibe (moreso than iphone photos) which are priceless. Make sure to play around with the settings and put the camera on the right mode for your subject. Portrait mode smoothes out your skin! Great for selfies.
