KODAK PIXPRO AZ653 Astro Zoom 20MP 65x Zoom 24mm 1080p Full HD Video Wireless 3 LCD, Black

Product Description:

The Kodak PIXPRO AZ653 Astro Zoom is a bridge camera built for photographers who want the extreme reach of a super-telephoto zoom without carrying multiple lenses, buying into an interchangeable-lens system, or spending thousands of dollars. Its 65× optical zoom covers an extraordinary focal range from 24mm wide angle to 1560mm equivalent super-telephoto — bringing distant birds, stadium athletes, aircraft, wildlife, and the surface of the moon into frame-filling sharpness from a single, all-in-one camera body. No lens changes, no heavy bag, no separate purchases. Just real optical reach that makes distance irrelevant.

The 20-megapixel BSI (backside-illuminated) CMOS sensor captures detailed stills with depth, balanced color, and clean highlights across a wide range of lighting conditions. BSI technology positions the sensor's wiring behind the light-collecting photodiodes rather than in front of them, allowing more light to reach the sensor for better performance in indoor, dusk, and low-light situations. RAW (DNG) file support provides maximum post-processing flexibility for photographers who want to fine-tune exposure, white balance, and color in editing software. 5 fps burst shooting captures rapid sequences of action for sports, wildlife, and any moving subject where timing a single shot is unreliable.

Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is essential at 1560mm equivalent — without it, the slightest hand tremor would make the image unusable. The OIS system compensates for camera shake in real time, stabilizing the viewfinder image for easier subject tracking and enabling sharp handheld shots at focal lengths where a tripod would normally be mandatory. The stabilization works during both photo and video capture.

Full HD 1080p video at 30fps with stereo audio captures moments with broadcast-quality resolution, and 720p at 60fps provides smoother motion for action sequences. A high-speed 120fps mode at 640×360 enables dramatic slow-motion playback of fast-moving subjects. OIS remains active during video for steady handheld footage across the entire zoom range.

The 3-inch LCD screen provides a large, clear viewing area for composing and reviewing shots, while the diopter-adjustable electronic viewfinder (EVF) offers an eye-level alternative for shooting in bright sunlight where the LCD washes out — and for steadier handheld shooting by bracing the camera against your face. Fourteen scene modes including ASCN (Auto Scene), Panorama, Multi-Exposure, Sport, Night Portrait, Pet, Fireworks, and more provide one-touch optimization for specific shooting scenarios.

Built-in Wi-Fi connects the AZ653 to your smartphone or tablet through the free PIXPRO Remote Viewer app (iOS/Android), enabling wireless photo transfer for immediate sharing on social media and remote camera control for self-portraits, group shots, and wildlife photography where you need to trigger the shutter from a distance. A USB Type-C port handles charging and data transfer. The included rechargeable lithium-ion battery and AC adapter provide ready-to-shoot power. SD/SDHC/SDXC card support up to 1.5TB (Class 10 or higher recommended).
