Our Verdict
Canon PowerShot SX540 HS
KODAK PIXPRO AZ528
The Canon PowerShot SX540 HS is better overall than the KODAK PIXPRO AZ528. Neither camera can take RAW photos or record 4k video, but the Canon has a higher-resolution sensor and better autofocus system. That said, the KODAK does have a slightly longer max focal length and slightly wider max aperture.
