    This is a great camera for a beginner photographer. It gives you the tools you need for point and shoot, while still allowing you some flexibility in adjusting settings. Fantastic zoom for a pocket camera as well.

    Great camera for on-the-go person who likes to take a lot of photos. The zoom lens is terrific and powerful enough to capture subjects at a distance without the hassle of stopping to change out lenses. Photo quality is excellent!

    Great Christmas Gift, I LOVE this camera! One sad problem. The sales rep. should have informed my husband he needed an sd card and an ubs cord. Sadly, no photos of 2017 Christmas family festivities with my beautiful new Camera.

    The zoom is amazing. I can zoom into the top of a building that is just at 1 mile away and while it's not completely clear at that distance it's still recognizable.

    I was looking for a good point and shoot camera to take on vacations and adventures. It's a little bigger than the ones I've had in the past, but it's loaded with great features, including a 40x zoom.

    Nice upgrade to an older camera with a ton of new features above my old one. I especially love the 40 time zoom and 20 megapixel which allows for clear pictures.

    The Canon I had for many years finally died. This upgrade is much easier to use. It makes very clear videos. The still pictures have clear graphics and sharp, true colors. Glad we stayed with Canon.

    This camera has a really great zoom. It goes in far. It goes in deep. This camera would be great for a creepy type of person that might want to zoom in impossibly close to see how many fillings a person has in their mouth.

    Love that this point-and-shoot camera can zoom 40x! I attend a lot of sporting events, and needless to say, the zoom, without a detachable lens, is a must! Still compact enough to get into the areas without a hassle.

    I needed a mid range camera and this fit the bill. Lightweight and easy to carry yet takes fantastic portraits and landscapes... people and nature. The customization of the live feature is incredible.

    It takes amazing photos for a point and shoot. It is nice to be able to use the manual feature and manipulate my shots. The only issue is it has been giving me a dark screen in lower light. It may be from playing with all of the different settings. Otherwise it has been great.

    Bought the camera for an ocean cruise from Spain and ending in Holland. We were out on a bus trip almost every day. The camera never failed me. Great pictures starting with a Horse Show and finishing with scenes of fields of tulips. Very pleased!
