Key Advantages

The Kodak PIXPRO FZ45 provides a 16MP resolution that delivers sharp and detailed images typical for its category. Its 5x optical zoom lens offers flexibility for framing subjects at various distances. The 2.7-inch LCD screen is bright and helps users easily navigate settings and review photos. Battery life is sufficient for moderate use, making it a practical choice for travel and daily photography. The camera supports 720p HD video recording, enabling casual videography with good clarity. Its compact size and lightweight design make it highly portable.

Limitations

The FZ45 relies on a CCD sensor which generally has higher noise levels in low light compared to CMOS sensors. The maximum aperture range (f/3.1 to f/5.9) may limit performance in dim conditions. Autofocus speed can be slower compared to more advanced models, impacting quick capture ability. It lacks Wi-Fi or NFC connectivity options for wireless transfer or remote control. The absence of an electronic viewfinder means reliance on the LCD in bright conditions can be difficult. Manual control options are basic and do not offer extensive creative flexibility.
