    Recently floated the Colorado River thru Grand Canyon and the pictures were terrific. My only complaint is that I would be able to connect directly to my computer with wifi. After trying over and over, found the camera I bought does not. Must us a cloud base service, then can view them. Disappointment for sure.

    It's hard to find good point and shoot cameras now but this one is good. Love the wide angle and the telephoto. Takes shots not possible even with the top of the line cellphone camera. I wish it was waterproof and ruggedized. I'd pay extra for that.

    I have not had time to use it very much so far but it is easy to focus and I will enjoy using it, only down side is that I have not figured out how to down-load pictures from memory card to computer or printer to print the pictures.

    This camera is no frills with an nice long zoom range. Is it going to have image quality to rival pro SLRs? Nope. Will it offer capabilities that you can't get out of your cell phone? Absolutely! The WiFi connectivity works well to transfer images to your phone for sharing, which is a nice bonus.

    Dropped my old camera and broke it so was looking for replacement camera. This one was a little smaller and had 40 zoom so decided to give it a try. Not pleased the view screen doesnt come out and seems hard to keep steady when zoomed. Maybe Im just getting old.

    disappointed

    I purchased this camera because my other Canon broke 1 day before going on cruise. I purchased this one because it was one of the 3 choices that was recommended by the Best Buy worker. I did check the reviews before purchasing and saw it had a fairly high rating. I was disappointed when I took my first few pictures on vacation and they looked blurry and I had the setting on Auto. I tried making adjustments and reading the manual for suggestions. I found that many times I would lose a shot because I would hold down the shutter button too long waiting for the camera to focus. Or find the object back that I had zoomed in on back. I even got left behind on excursion because I was taking too long trying to get a good shot with this camera. I returned the camera unfortunately it was past 15 day return policy which most of the 15 days I was on vacation. I was given in store credit instead of my money back.

    I use my phone for a lot of pictures. This little camera has a few more capabilities and comes in handy when I need it. Have used it regularly for the past 2 years. Its a small but mighty camera!

    This camera takes amazing pictures. The zoom is absolutely fabulous. I almost didn't buy it because I was being super cheap, but the quality was worth it. It is a great size as well. I can take it almost anywhere.

    It is best to take it with your vacation as you can’t really depend on your cellphone. The reason is not enough data storage if you take a lot of pictures on your cellphone. Half of my pictures were deleted. Luckily, I had my camera to back up. It was a hard lesson to learn.

    Overall a good camera but flash use was very difficult to figure out and the flash itself is manual. You have to pop the flash up each time you want to use it. I would have chose another model had I known this or had been advised by the sales person.
