Needed to upgraded our camera from 6 years ago. Looked for a good camera in the $100-$150 range. This camera does everything we need for taking a lot of pictures of our kids. Pictures are clear and bright if taken inside or outside.

Used on vacation in Rome and was able to get some great shots of colosseum and vatican. Small size was convenient to carry and use. People liked the color of the camera.

I was looking for a gift for my wife to replace her 10 year old doorstop of a digital camera. This is perfect. Compact and not too expensive

Its a small reliable camera for on the go photos, small enough to keep in your pocket for that fast reach moment. Picture quality is average, image stabilization does an ok job and makes low light or moving photos a lot more clearer.

I have a full size canon but wanted to take a small one on a trip to Mexico. Great little camera that did exactly what I needed without the size.

It's a good camera with nice clear pictures if you're looking for snapshots. If you're looking to do live shots (of bands) then this camera just doesn't work that well. My phone camera isn't as high in MP but it's quicker. With this camera it's not really a true "point and shoot" because you have to pause and let it focus first. With my phone I can just point and shoot without having to wait. The stabilization doesn't seem to help much because without that pause for a few seconds the pictures are blurry. When doing live action shots, you can't afford to wait a few seconds between every picture.

Great camera and great pictures. Very cheaply made. The opening for the battery and camera card are very flimsy. I feel I must be very careful when changing these or the openings will break.
