The new KODAK PIXPRO Astro Zoom Camera line is centered on the flagship AZ521. This model offers a powerful 52x optical zoom for under $300 (MSRP $299.99), in addition to a 24 mm wide-angle lens; 1080p HD Video; 3.0” 460K LCD; optical image stabilization (OIS) and rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The balance of Astro Zoom models offer a range of affordable price points, including the AZ251 (25x), AZ361 (36x), AZ362 (36x CMOS), AZ501 (50x) and AZ522 (52x CMOS with Electronic View Finder), priced respectively from $179.99 - $349.99 (MSRP).
In addition to the Astro Zoom bridge category, the KODAK PIXPRO line will include two waterproof 1080p HD video devices for consumers who want to capture all of life’s adventures in pristine clarity. The compact, waterproof KODAK PIXPRO SPZ1 Digital Camcorder ($139.99 MSRP) and KODAK PIXPRO SP1 Digital Action Cam ($169.99 - $199.99 MSRP) answer the need for rugged, all weather, go anywhere camcorders for extreme sports enthusiasts to vacationers taking in the scenery from their beach towels and sand.
The KODAK PIXPRO Friendly Zoom line of point-and-shoot digital cameras is also available with the entry level FZ41, FZ51 and FZ151 for customers who still want an affordable, quality, point-and-shoot compact camera ranging from $89.99 - $129.99 (MSRP).
