Revolving around an impressive zoom, the PIXPRO AZ901 is a Kodak Astro Zoom Collection camera that blends long reach with an apt set of imaging capabilities. Its 20.68MP 1/2.3" BSI CMOS sensor affords Full HD 1080p video recording and 5-fps continuous shooting, along with a sensitivity range from ISO 100-3200 for working in various lighting conditions. The BSI design of the sensor helps to maintain low noise and high clarity for truer colors and accurate rendering, especially in low lighting. Complementing the imaging assets is an immense 90x optical zoom lens, which covers a 22-1980mm equivalent focal length range, and optical image stabilization benefits this reach by minimizing the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Both an electronic viewfinder and a rear 3.0" 920k-dot LCD monitor are available for composing and reviewing imagery, and the LCD sports an articulating design to better suit working from high and low angles. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi is available for wireless transferring of imagery and remote camera control from a linked smartphone or tablet.
