Though it was bought Nov 22, I didn't receive it until December 24th. My first impression, I was amazed how small it is. It fits beautifully in the small camera bag, including manual, both chargers, padded neck strap and micro cleaning cloth. It Seems to be well made, However, if you have big hands, or are sight challenged, you may not want this camera, The camera, as well as the controls are very small, Despite its size, it does take great pictures. The zoom on it is awesome.
I like it a lot and would recommend it.

Excellant, especially for the price. the 40x zoom is a great feature. The only drawback is no viewfinder & that can be a problem , especially outdoors where the reflection in the screen causes me to shoot blind.
But I'm overall very please with this little camera. "The best camera is the one that's in your hand" - the small size make it a easy carry.

Image quality is pretty good to my eye and the 40x lens is ridiculous. When you're that zoomed in, you're going to have trouble keeping the shot steady with such a small and light camera. I'm a total air show junkie and was hoping this would work well for that kind of photography. Well, at this price point it was unreasonable to make that expectation. The autofocus can't keep up with something moving as fast as a jet at an air show. It did OK at an auto race with a bit of planning and pre-focusing. Battery lasts just fine and the user interface is pretty easy to navigate. It's a decent little camera, just be sure to calibrate your expectations against the price.

This camera has amazing features for such a portable size! The zoom is amazing, the photo quality is great, and its size is perfect to take on trips and to concerts! It’s a great camera to have so I don’t have to only use my phone camera. I am so glad I purchased this.

Absolutely love this camera i bought this camera to take photos of my family when we have reunions, bbqs, birthday party’s and to take pictures of my son while he grows from being a new born. This camera is very easy to use I love that it connects to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for a quicker down load and the quality of the pictures are perfect for the everyday thing and the flip screen is just an added bonus!!!

I purchased this prior to a 3 week cruise around the Baja, intending it to be a good lightweight camera for my wife to use while I used a Canon DSLR camera on our trip. As it turned out, she took some truly awesome photos of whales and other wildlife that rivaled the photos I took.
And since then we’ve both used this camera on 2 other extended cruises in other parts of the world with truly excellent results and an ease to use.

Love this camera, it is so comparable to the cannon G7X! I did have to get specific with my settings, but once I did, it was perfect!!!!
I use my camera EVERYDAY!

I bought this camera for a trip to Egypt and Jordan. I wanted to camera that would have a good range of zoom and take good quality photos but didn’t weigh very much. This camera delivered! It also has a feature for a recording video and there is a beautiful leather case sold on Amazon that fits this camera perfectly. I wore it around my neck and I didn’t have any pain as I suffer from neck problems. Love this camera!

I've had Canon point and shoot cameras before, and this operates just like the others. However, I really like the optical zoom and the image stabilizer - great features that enhance the value of the camera. Also, the tilt screen in the back is nice to have so far as well. I still have to try out the wifi connectivity to my phone, but assuming that's easy to us, this camera will be a great find for years to come

I’ve used this camera for a couple years now and I love it. It’s great for daily use. Very user friendly. With low light and lots of motion it can be difficult to get quick high quality photos but I think that might be user error - still learning how to adjust the settings :)

Bought this right before vacation for the 40X and it really came through. Have some very nice pictures of details that I could not even see well. It is hard to hand stabilize but knew that going in and don't have time to set up tripod for fast pics. Still got some great shots. Has been pretty easy to understand even for a non technical person like me. Only compliant is recovery time after taking a shot is slow.

I love this camera! I take it every where with me. Simple and easy to use. Great quality photos and I love that I can get them via Bluetooth/wifi right away in my phone or laptop. Battery last quite a while. This is like the little sister to the Cannon G7X.

I bought this for my wife to take on an African photo safari. Weight and space restrictions were a real consideration. The pictures she came back with are amazing. The most astonishing feature is the 40x optical zoom. What appear as tiny dots in the distance transform into clear, sharp enlarged images of African wildlife. The focus is so crisp and the exposure makes the images "pop". I'm so glad she had this camera as compared to using a cell phone or tablet.
