Kodak's Best-Selling PixPro FZ45 Gets 31% Discount for Labor Day
Kodak's PixPro FZ45 compact camera is discounted to $89.99 for Labor Day weekend, a 31% saving, according to TechRadar.
The FZ45 and its sibling, the PixPro FZ55, have been extremely popular throughout 2025 and 2026 despite being ultra-cheap point-and-shoot compacts. The FZ45 features a 4x optical zoom lens and 16-megapixel stills, while the FZ55 offers a 5x zoom. Both are priced far below typical mirrorless or DSLR cameras.
TechRadar notes that the cameras' success is not solely due to their low prices. Kodak is one of the most recognizable names in photography, with roots dating back to the early years of the medium, and that trust has been a factor for casual buyers. Younger generations have also embraced the look of lo-fi digital compacts, drawn to Y2K nostalgia and an imaging experience distinctly different from smartphone photography. The PixPro FZ45's design, available in colors from black to hot pink, has contributed to its appeal.
The camera will not produce brilliant imagery, TechRadar acknowledges; a typical smartphone often produces better-looking photos thanks to smart processing. But for digital compact enthusiasts, that is not the point. They welcome the camera's characteristic output. The outlet describes the reduced price as a welcome opportunity for those wanting to join the cheap compact camera trend.
The Labor Day deal is available at Amazon. The report does not specify when the discount will end.
