Kodak PixPro WPZ2: the perfect photo companion for your holidays
Why choose a waterproof and robust camera for your holidays?
Going on holiday often means getting away from your daily routine, exploring new landscapes, enjoying the outdoors, and sometimes even pushing your limits a little.
But it also means stepping out of your technological comfort zone. Because let's be honest, our smartphones, as powerful as they are, are not the most reliable when you're by the water or doing a sporty activity.
Between splashes, sand, unexpected falls and impromptu dives, there's no shortage of risky situations. This is where a waterproof and shockproof camera comes into its own. Designed to withstand everyday accidents, it gives you the peace of mind you need to enjoy your activities to the full, without having to constantly worry about your equipment.
And beyond its robustness, a dedicated camera like the Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 lets you rediscover the simple pleasure of taking photos with a real shutter release, a good grip and optics designed to capture the moment, even when conditions are less than ideal.
The Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 is designed for all adventures
The Kodak PixPro WPZ2 is not just a camera. It's an adventure companion designed for those who love to move, travel and dive into the water without a second thought. Lightweight, compact and colourful, it slips easily into a bag or swimsuit pocket. Always ready, always reliable.
Easy to use
No need to be an expert. Turn it on, frame your shot, shoot: everything is designed to get straight to the point. Its menus are clear and the buttons are well placed. It offers handy automatic modes: portrait, underwater, sport, beach, fireworks... The whole family can use it, even the youngest or those who are less comfortable with technology. And even with gloves on, it's still intuitive to use.
A clear screen and easy connectivity
Its 2.7-inch LCD screen is large enough to see what you're capturing, even in bright sunlight. It displays your images accurately, making it easy to frame and review your shots.
The built-in Wi-Fi is a real bonus when you're on holiday. In seconds, you can send your photos to your phone, share them on social media or send them to your loved ones. You can even use your smartphone as a remote control, which is handy for taking group photos or shots from a distance.
The battery life of the Kodak Pixpro WPZ2
In terms of battery life, its rechargeable battery allows you to take around 200 photos or film for just over an hour continuously. For a day of typical activities, this is often enough. And as it charges via USB, a simple external battery can keep you going on the go.
Lightweight but robust
As light as a smartphone (176 grams), the WPZ2 fits comfortably in your hand. It slips easily into a pocket or small waterproof pouch. With its compact dimensions (approximately 10 x 6.5 x 5 cm), you can take it with you everywhere without it getting in the way.
The Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 is also robust. It is waterproof up to 15 metres, shockproof from falls of up to 2 metres, dustproof and can withstand temperatures as low as -10°C. It's a real adventurer that lets you capture all your memories, even where smartphones dare not go. A camera made for action, but designed for everyone.
Photo and video performance tailored for holidays
Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 photo and video sensor
At the heart of the camera is its 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. In simple terms, this type of sensor captures light well, even when it's scarce. So you can take clear photos at sunset or underwater without the image being too dark. It's as if the camera can see a little better in low light.
On the video side, it films in Full HD 1080p. So you can record your dives, paddleboarding trips or beach games in beautiful image quality that's much smoother and more detailed than what a typical smartphone can offer in extreme conditions. It can also film in 720p or 480p, with lighter options if you want to save space. It even offers a slow-motion mode, perfect for reviewing a wave or a jump in style.
The Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 zoom
The 4x optical zoom lets you get closer to your subject without moving, while maintaining good image quality. This is ideal if you're watching an animal from the shore or a friend a little further out in the water. By adding the digital zoom, you can zoom in up to 24x, but it's best to use this sparingly to maintain good sharpness. The equivalent in traditional photography ranges from 27 mm to 108 mm, which is more than enough for holidays.
To avoid blurry photos, especially when moving or shooting handheld, the WPZ2 uses digital stabilisation. This system corrects minor camera shake so your images stay sharp, even when you're not perfectly steady. This is often the case when you're in the water or on a boat.
Modes for every situation
What makes the Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 so versatile is its many shooting modes. Whether you're at the beach, in the mountains, underwater or in the middle of the night, it has a mode to suit you. It also features face, smile and even blink detection, so you can take great portraits with ease. It can also capture 360° panoramas, perfect for sweeping landscapes.
For fast-moving scenes, its burst mode can capture up to six images per second. This gives you more chances to get “the shot” at the right moment, without blinking.
Price of the Kodak Pixpro WPZ2
At £150,10, it's a good investment. The camera comes with a two-year warranty, with the option to add a three-year warranty extension for £30,23. Kodak also offers useful accessories, such as a 32 GB micro SD card and extra batteries.
A small internal memory is built in, but a micro SD card (up to 32 GB) is still essential for storing all your photos and videos. Payment in four instalments with no fees with FLOA is also available for added flexibility.
Where and when to use your Kodak Pixpro WPZ2?
The strength of the Kodak Pixpro WPZ2 is its ability to withstand anything. Where you might hesitate to take out your smartphone, it won't back down. It's made for this: to be whipped out in unexpected moments, when water is splashing, sand is sticking and you're enjoying yourself without thinking about your equipment.
At the beach
At the beach, it's in its element. Sand, waves, dives – it fears nothing. You can take it into the water without protection, take photos with your feet in the sea, film games in the pool or capture a fish while snorkelling. Once back on the sand, it continues to do its job, from sandcastles to sunsets, without ever faltering. It also thrives in water parks, between slides, artificial waves and high-speed toboggan runs. Take it out at the top, film the descent and laugh as you watch the results straight away.
On a boat
On board a boat, it's a discreet but indispensable ally. Whether on a catamaran, paddleboard or kayak, it keeps pace, even when things get rough. It can withstand splashes and jolts, and if you drop it in the water, no worries. It will continue to capture your memories as if nothing had happened. You can immortalise a trip out to sea, a jump from the deck, or simply the sunlight on the water.
At the water park
And then there are family moments at the water park. This small waterproof camera can be passed from hand to hand without fear. It can withstand children's clumsiness and appeals with its colourful design. It captures joyful moments, water fights, swimming races and laughter on the inflatables. It's also perfect for festive occasions.
In short, the WPZ2 is a camera you won't be afraid to take anywhere, even in the thick of the action. And above all, it's a camera you'll want to use without ever thinking twice.
