Hey guys,
Check it out!
I was thinking of getting the latest Fujifilm Xm5 camera, but I don't have the money right now. That's when I saw YouTube videos of the Kodak Pixpro FZ55. I was intrigued. I checked out the pictures and video samples, and I like them!
The pictures were pretty sharp, and I like nostalgia's effect. Best of all, it's way cheaper than the XM5. You can get it for $100+. If you're interested in a small compact camera for traveling or taking everyday photographs, get it. I did.
If you've been reading my blog posts, I already have my Nikon P950, Zfc, and Z8. You can watch my photos and video samples on my YouTube channel. You can also watch my FZ55 sample videos here. Watch my unboxing video here.
As you can see, I'm not just interested in Nikon cameras. Now, I realize I want to try out whatever cameras are available. It's not just about taking sharp pictures but also design and the kind of pictures I can take like the FZ55.
I was surprised at how small and light the FZ55 is. It can fit in your pocket and nobody would have noticed it. I decided on blue because I was tired of red and black. The camera has buttons for power, taking photos and videos, at the top side.
I wish the photo button was a little bit nearer to the side as I sometimes, didn't realize I was pressing the body. The video button is after that. Finally, the power button is almost in the middle. The play button can be found at the back with the rest of the menu, macro, and flashlight buttons.
You can choose to shoot in auto or manual mode. You can control the shutter speed, ISO, and Aperture. I end up just setting up to Auto or Shaky mode as I find myself taking blurred photos most of the time. Oh, and also AutoScene.
That's the difference between an expensive professional camera and a cheap camera like the Pixpro FZ55. There are things you wish it had for sharper pictures and videos. RAW files. Easy access to many camera features.
The good thing about FZ55 is that you concentrate on taking photos. The rest is to photography nerds. That got me thinking about getting an instant print camera by Fujifilm and Kodak. Nowadays, everyone takes photos and videos and posts them online. Why an instant print camera?
There are many things I could say to justify my purchase, who cares it's just for fun. I can quickly take photos like the FZ55 and instantly print them for keeps or giveaways. I can put it in an album like in the old days or frame it and hang it around the house.
I also bought an Android tablet and a 7Artisans 35mm F1.4 MF APS-C lens for my Z8. I'll post about them in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
