    Love this little giant camera! Sometimes carrying around my Rebel SLR is too much. This one takes the place perfectly.

    I take a lot of nature shots, so firing up a camera quickly and zooming way in is really important to me - this camera is perfect for that. Linking WiFi to iOS is somewhat problematic, however. Should be much easier.

    Great camera for my 7th grader in his photography class, the optical and digital zoom options have helped to develop his eye for composition and creative photography.

    I was looking for a compact camera that zooms significantly and takes great outdoor pictures. I am not disappointed! This little camera checked all the boxes and I love it!

    Love the fact that due to the high number of megapixels, and 40x zoom, this provides good quality photos without having to carry a heavy weight camera around

    This camera has all the essential functions; AF, long zoom, image stabilization, etc. I’ve stopped packing my SLR except for the most serious events. Even bought an extra battery (canon only) and memory card.

    We needed a new compact camera to use on our vacations. This one had the settings we wanted and it was a good price. So far it seems to be easy to use, but I haven't had a chance to download any pictures yet.

    Cool camera at a bargain price. It served it purpose. I took pictures and video at an event where I wanted the quality to be better than cell phone pics.
