I bought this camera before going to London, Rome and Malta. I wanted an inexpensive camera with decent quality. It did pretty well. However the battery life is horrible. I could only get maybe three hours of use before having to plug into my portable charger. As far as pictures are concerned, it preformed pretty well, didn't have too many blurry pictures due to taking pics without tri-pod. Videos had a hard time staying in focus. Overall it's an average camera for an average price.
