Kodak Pixpro FZ55 (red) digital camera

Kodak Pixpro FZ55 (red) digital camera

Well, here's a nostalgic breath of fresh air from the golden age of digital paperbacks at the beginning of the decade! It's a small, pocket-sized and easy-to-use digital paperback, perfect for even a jeans pocket or small bag.

Apparently, many others have longed for this era of uncomplicated cameras, as this camera was the best-selling digital camera in Japan at the beginning of 2026 and has also been very popular in Europe.

Some of the popularity is explained by the size and ease of use, some age groups want a slightly nostalgic style and a different feel to their photos than those taken with phones, and some just want a functional camera. And this is of course the best option if you want to use a camera and possibly reduce the time spent on your phone.

True optical zoom and wide field of view

Although the camera is compact, it packs a 5x optical zoom. Unlike digital zoom on phones, this optical zoom brings distant subjects closer. The lens starts at a wide-angle of 28mm, which is an ideal focal length for tight interiors, group shots, and expansive landscapes.

The camera is equipped with a 16 megapixel sensor that captures sharp and colorful images. Video recording is possible with one touch in 1080p Full HD quality, so you can also capture moving images of important moments. The clear 2.7-inch LCD screen makes framing and reviewing images easy. The FZ55 uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery, which is a significant advantage compared to battery-powered pocket cameras - it is a thinner, lighter and more environmentally friendly solution.

A word about image quality: if you compare the quality of the image and especially the video to better phones, the Kodak lags behind in sharpness and technical quality. But part of the camera's charm and the secret to its popularity is precisely the slightly rougher and unprocessed image.
