Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have used this camera multiple times since purchase and it takes great photos for a point and shoot camera. My only complaint is the charging system, which requires you to take the battery out and plug it into the proprietary battery charging system. I had thought that you could use the usb data cable and plug it in to charge, but that will not work. This requires you to bring that additional accessory along with you or have multiple batteries, which usually isn't too big of a deal. Aside from that one issue, this item is definitely a good purchase. There are relatively few point and shoot cameras in this price range that also boast the 20 megapixel resolution that this does. -- This review allows only for photos to be uploaded with 5 mb or less of image size and the majority of the images that I have shot with this range between 7 mb and 12 mb, so I found 2 photos that were under this file size that were shot with the camera. They are definitely not the best ones that were shot, but may help. These were literally the only 2 I had that were under or equal to 5 mb.

I bought this to supplement my Nikon Coolpix 520, as I wanted something "pocketable." While it takes excellent photos, it does take noticeably longer to take a photo once the button is tripped. I suspect that is the image stabilization working, but not completely sure. Appreciate the built-in wifi feature...it's relatively simple to use, and I was able to capture some nice snaps of a hummingbird feeding using it. Overall, it's a good deal for the money.

I use it for copying genealogical records for my family history. It is mounted on a board that is clamped on a microfilm viewer, the wide-angle lens is perfect to view the total image. A Sony app is available to remotely control the camera shutter, and images are automatically saved on a cellphone, tablet or PC. Unfortunately I have not been able to use the wi-fi camera app provided by Sony, the software is difficult to get working on a Samsung tablet. One problem is precisely zooming the lens with the tiny lever provided. I may have to provide a much larger control knob.

This camera is a good basic camera. Takes a good picture, even in low light. The shutter lag is a little annoying. I have several premium DSLR cameras that record the frame the instant the shutter button is depressed. This camera has some lag, resulting in missed action shots. But it is compact and lightweight and easy to travel with, which is why I bought it. And, the price was great. Battery life is limited - you will need a second battery if you are going to take many pictures (50 or more) on one charge. Setting up the software for external communication is NOT USER FRIENDLY. I ended up going to Google for further explanations. In the end I can use my cellphone as a control device. Great, but so what? Finally, photo/video transfer by removing the chip and inserting into a computer is the ONLY way to transfer data. Any other means is just too slow!

This camera is pretty nice and takes nice pictures but there is one slight problem. When you turn the camera off it remembers some settings but does not remember them all. Thus if i have to take a Macro shot, i have to go into the menu and scroll to the Macro setting EVERY time i turn the camera on. Unfortunate for me i use the Macro a lot so it is nuts. Everything else is very good about the camera however, takes nice pictures, a little better than my older A3100IS Canon. Zoom is better, wide angle is better, Movie picture size is larger and file format is smaller so less bytes for a movie. it would be the perfect camera if it remembered the Macro setting. I would recommend it to anyone that does not take a lot of Macro shots for sure.

I purchased this camera last minute simply because I was leaving on a cruise and couldn’t find my camera. Knowing that the misplaced camera will eventually turn up, I didn’t want to spend a lot but also wanted a decent camera for my trip and this fit the bill. It is smaller and lighter than the camera I can’t find at the moment which I enjoyed but it’s features are a little harder to access because they are somewhat buried in menus. It worked great as a point and shoot even without the additional features. I took the book with me but never got around to reading it. I played around and managed to find the settings I wanted but am sure it does way more if I would take the time to learn about it. I do like the 10X zoom and got some great pictures so all in all, I am pleased. I deducted one star simply because I prefer my other camera that has a dial for commonly used settings like macro, scenery etc so that you don’t have to waste time navigating thru menus.

We took this on our trip to Europe as it was light weight and easy to carry; the photo quality and ease of use are a definite plus. I would recommend as an inexpensive option.

bought this camera for my 12 year old son for a trip to Morocco, because the MP were a bit higher than his iphone. We actually shared photo-taking and both found it to be a great lightweight point and shoot. The fact that we could upload his photos to his computer and his iphone was a bonus. We switched off between the camera and the iphone and upon return, I can say that the camera photos were actually of clearer quality. Excellent pocket camera with some zoom, light and easy to use. Definitely need a second battery as we took about 50-100 photos a day and liked to look at them when we had meals, so needed a second battery by day 3 and first battery was charging. Would recommend and buy again.

This camera is small and takes really good pictures that look better then iPhone pictures once you grab them off the card. They need to update the design though. The view screen is not good and they use the old crimped style of USB mini connection, like on PlayStation 3 controllers, instead of the regular mini usb Android style connection. This should be updated to the more prevalent android style of mini usb or go straight for usb c.

Brought for my wife. Nice and small. Fits nicely in her purse or pocket. 10x optical zoom. I like that it comes with a separate battery charger. A lot of cameras these days do not. With the separate charger, you can be taking pictures while a second battery is charging. The reason for only 4 stars is that we really haven't taken that many pictures under different conditions, so I am not sure about the picture quality under different conditions.

Picked this camera to take merchandise photos for eBay listings so I wouldn’t have to keep deleting pics on my phone. Works great so far. Battery needs to be taken out to recharge which is inconvenient. It does take a little practice to become fully competent in taking video with. Took it to a grandchild’s performance but had trouble figuring out how to keep flash off for stillls and use video in the dark theatre. Couldn’t see the buttons. But works great for my purpose and with more practice will reduce memory load on my phone and make transfers to my desktop alot easier.

So small! I wasn't aware that this camera is so small. I haven't really used the camera enough to understand how it works. It doesn't have a USB slot on it to connect directly to my computer. It uses Bluetooth to download pics onto your computer. I had some difficulty downloading this software, and I am not very fond of the way the software works to perform the transfer. I found my older cameras more to my liking. The few pictures I toke with it are okay, not outstanding. After I learn how to use the camera maybe my pictures will be higher quality. I wanted a camera to take better pictures than my cellphone does, for my ebay auctions.

Good quality point and shoot camera. The options on this camera are very good and its very easy to use. We have situations where we cannot use a smartphone, so having a good quality camera is important.

This camera is small and lightweight and super easy to use. Good quality for the price!

Positives: good picture quality, intuitive menus, easy to use Negatives: wont charge through the USB cable from my computer (at least not in my experience), you have to remove the battery which is annoying. Also, it doesn't deal with direct sunlight well, my previous few smart phones deal with light much better... (don't understand why phones have better cameras than most small point and shoot cameras?)

Battery life could be a tad better, but overall great product. The wifi capabilities are AWESOME

Wanted a small camera for hiking and not have hassle of using iPhone. This fit my needs. The zoom capacity is excellent. The wifi connection to phone is a little challenging but did get it working. Overall, this camera surpasses my iPhone for zoom and resolution. No regrets in this purchase.

Small enough to carry in my pocket it is easy to use and the quality of the photos is excellent.

Good quality pictures even in low light. Haven’t managed to use the WiFi feature yet but I think that was an issue with my network rather than the camera. Battery indicater is a total failure, died right after saying full battery though it did last over a week on one charge with regular usage. But my friend bought the same camera and hers had the same issue

This is my 3rd camera of this brand, i do love them but they are prone to break downs! GET THE WARANTY!!!!!!!!!! Geek Squad has been excellent at quick repairs and i 1 case, totaly replacing it! So the support for the camera is top notch! Takes great pics for a small camera, just be prepared to have some down time too!
