The Kodak PixPro WPZ2 is a little beast. It’s waterproof down to 15 meters (49 feet), shockproof from a 2-meter drop, and freeze-proof down to -10°C (14°F). On paper, it looks like you could throw this camera into a rock tumbler and it would survive.
If you own a WPZ2, you know exactly what I’m talking about. That plastic sliding lens cover is the Achilles' heel of an otherwise tough camera. It slides open too easily in a backpack, and worse—it feels like it could snap off if you look at it wrong.

Here is what you need to know before you buy. I learned this the hard way. I tossed my WPZ2 into my beach bag. When I pulled it out 20 minutes later, the lens cover had slid open, the camera had turned on, and the battery was drained. Worse, sand was grinding against the exposed lens glass.
Your future vacation photos will thank you.
