A:AnswerI would say definitely yes! I bought this as a birthday gift 3 weeks ago for my 15 year old. She took the camera on vacation and LOVES it! It gave her to ability to experiment with the photographs in a way that she can't do with a cell phone or a point and shoot camera, however it's wasn't overwhelming for her to learn.
A:AnswerIt's a cheap camera for the features it has. No problem travelling with it. I have done to Brazil many times. Not a selfie type camera. You can buy extra battery as I did and UV filter too. Battery depends on use of flash and turning it on/off.
A:AnswerMy son is a picture in college baseball and I use this camera to take pictures of him. If you put it in sports mode it will take rapidfire pictures and to catch all of the action.
