This camera is a bit hard to compare given how few major brand models are still available (Kodak Pixpro is a 3rd party generic which licensed the brand name). The overall image quality is slightly beneath what you used to get from a Canon, but current Canon models in this range and a little higher have almost no manual controls. So the upside here is manual controls at a lower price which fits the image quality. Not bad. My biggest complaint is that the auto-focus can get confused and, despite having a manual mode with both aperture and shutter speed control, there is no manual focus. When taking a macro picture, it constantly focused slightly behind where I wanted it (despite setting it to center/spot). I had to pre-focus with a half press and then slide the camera back. Being able to set a long shutter time to get night shots is normally a benefit of manual controls, but when its a distant shot at night the auto focus cant find anything to focus on so you get a well-exposed blur. No way to set it manually, not even a forced infinity toggle. This would be nothing but a menu option in a camera which already has numerous on-screen settings (eg, the auto/macro menu which pops up), but I guess whoever designed this just didnt know that this is something you might need. Its still not a bad deal if you want a long zoom during the day and wont be doing macro shots too close.
