The Kodak Star 275 is a simple snapshot camera. The camera dates from the 1990s and is certainly not a significant milestone in the model history of the U.S. photo pioneer. The model is made of plastic and comes in black. Like many similar cameras from that time, the camera was built in China. The Kodak Photo fx is functional the same model, but aimed at children and young people.
The lens of the 35mm photo camera cannot be replaced. The focal length of the lens is 33 mm. The maximum aperture is f/5.6. The distance setting of the lens cannot be changed. Also the shutter speed cannot be influenced.
A flash is built in for low light images. The flash is powered by two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*).
