I wanted to find a camera with a strong enough zoom lens that would allow me to photograph the moon, but not cost me several hundreds of dollars. My research led me to the Kodak AZ 528 model. This is a bridge camera, meaning a bridge between being a basic point-and-shoot camera and a much more expensive DSLR camera. I'm very happy with my choice. I was a bit hesitant to buy a product that was not brand new (such as an open box model) but since this seller offered a 30-day return, I felt it was safe to give it a try. Other than the box being a little rough around the edges, everything inside the box was like the item was brand new. And this allowed me to save $70 or more. I'm very happy with my purchase, and I'm getting great shots of the moon!

I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this but it has surprised me in several ways. It's compact with a large LCD and lot of very nice features and takes excellent photos. These cameras don't come with a manual so I ordered one and I'm glad I did. I learned quite a few features I otherwise wouldn't have discovered. I'm very pleased with this camera.

This camera has a great optical and digital zoom feature as well as being quick and easy to operate. The price keeps it affordable for an all around camera.

First tested an AZ528 out in June and then ended up buying my own for under $70 used in August. My main reasons for using one was to take pics of mostly stationary pictures of scenery, birds and animals while hiking, fishing or hunting. The bad: - The overall sharpness of the images won't be as good a DSLR most of the time. - Lacks the higher ISO setting for taking pics in lower light levels (3200 for this cam). - Can record video, but Imo, that feature isn't very good. - Use of a wireless or wired remote would have been a nicer option to have instead of only through an app with a smartphone. - No tiltable or rotating LCD. I didn't know how much I would have liked having that feature till I used this camera for a while. In bright outdoor light or odd viewing angles the fixed LCD is hard to see. The good: - It's a cheaper, lighter and easier to wield option over a DSLR and is still able to obtain some nice pics. - The auto features do an adequate enough job that you don't have to fiddle with other settings if you don't want to. Just turn it on, get your desired zoom level, focus on your subject and snap the pic. - The best thing about this camera: I can take pics near and far without changing lenses to do it. First mistake I made when using this camera was to take long distance shots of deer at max zoom. Some of them weren't bad but ended up with mostly diminishing returns. After using this camera for awhile I don't take pics beyond it's native zoom of 52X and often stay a bit under that. Use a tripod or brace yourself however you can when taking long distance pics for the best results. When taking pics, take several to increase the odds of getting some good ones because much of the time you don't get a second chance. Read full review

Kodak has always been a good camera choice, I have never had a problem with them.
