Thornfield HouseKodak PIXPRO AZ653 Bridge Camera, Black
Our Price: £349.00
Our Price:
£349.00
The Kodak PIXPRO AZ653 is the longest zoom in the PIXPRO range, a 65x bridge camera with an electronic viewfinder, RAW files and Wi-Fi.


The 24-1560mm equivalent lens is the longest in the PIXPRO range. Optical image stabilisation and the electronic viewfinder make the long end easier to use, because holding the camera to your eye keeps it steadier than holding it out in front.
The electronic viewfinder is a real help in bright sun, when a rear screen is hard to see. RAW files give you more room to edit than JPEG, and built-in Wi-Fi sends photos to your phone. Burst shooting runs at up to 5 frames per second.
It suits wildlife, birding, sport and travel, for anyone who wants a huge zoom without buying and carrying separate lenses. The AZ653 replaces the AZ652.
The comparison table on this page sets the PIXPRO AZ653 against the Kodak PIXPRO AZ528 and the Kodak PIXPRO AZ425, the two models people most often weigh it against.
