    This camera was not expensive and works well for my travel needs for work. It's not flashy but it is efficient. Compact and easy to throw in my briefcase.

    This camera is easy to use, produces great photos and I am pleased. The only downside is the screen is less than 3" wide. It is my fault that I didn't read the product information carefully.

    I was looking for a small point and shoot camera for a recent trip to the Grand Canyon. It's easy enough to use, but I felt like I got better pictures from my iPhone 5c. If you don't have a phone with a camera, then this is a good alternative. Small enough to fit in a pocket. Had to purchase the memory card separately. It's great that the camera is inexpensive, but I probably could have saved my money.

    Rushed to buy a camera for an event. Affordable, easy to use, but don't have a choice of making flash work manually. It's either on or off. (auto)

    Purchased before a trip to Italy as I wanted something small that would take better pictures than my phone. This camera is easy to use and takes great pictures. Fit easily in my small purse for our daily adventures.

    I bought his to give a family's member to use. I used to have a SD1000 model which I really liked. I did not use it myself so I could not give a full review on how the picture would turn out.
