A nother recent acquisition, part of my interest in the ' Re-Living the CCD Sensor ' series, is the Kodak PixPro AZ251, a 25x superzoom digital bridge camera with a 16MP CCD sensor. The AZ251 (with the AZ abbreviated from 'Astro Zoom'), manufactured under license by JK Imaging , was launched in 2013 as an update to the Kodak PixPro series that started with the launch of the PixPro AZ651.
The entry-level bridge camera, with an optical zoom lens equivalent to 24-600mm on a 35mm full-frame camera, also comes with optical image stabilization, a 3-inch 230k rear LCD screen, 720p HD video recording, full auto as well as PSAM modes, panorama, HDR, and several scene modes and digital filters for more creative control.
Not seen on the camera, however, is an EV, which is common among digital bridge cameras of that era. The missing component detracts the camera from having the look and its use as a full SLR look-alike and relegates it to more of an enlarged electronic compact with a superzoom lens and a comfortable to-hold rubberized handgrip.
