A fixed lens, and the aperture at the long end is the real specification · review
A $30 flip-screen camera for children and beginners, sold with a card and a battery. Its 64 MP and 4K figures come from a 1/3-inch sensor, so image quality is phone-level at best.
The A9 is sold as a present for children and teenagers. For about $30, it comes with a 32 GB card, a battery and a 3-inch screen that flips forward for selfies. It also works as a webcam and has a tripod thread.
The listing claims 4K and 64 MP. The product table gives the sensor size, 1/3 inch, which is tiny. Expect photos below a recent phone and soft video, whatever the file size says.
The 16× zoom is digital. It crops the image, and detail falls away as you zoom in.
It makes sense as a first, inexpensive camera that a child can carry and drop without worry. For better pictures, the Kodak PIXPRO FZ45 has an optical zoom for about $80 more.
