    Works well so far, simple and straight forward. Happy with my purchase. Hopefully they upgrade to a 4k soon so I can get a new one in a few years.

    This camera has just enough manual controls to allow a person to be creative & look professional even if they are still learning. It met the requirements of a college class & has been a valuable asset to a young student. Thanks Best buy!

    A great camera in a small package. It is so lite weight that it definitely needs a good tripod for weddings and the like.

    This is easy to use, however we use it for summer baseball and it gets too hot. It has shut down because it was too hot. I just have to make sure it is in the shade which isn't always possible. The front shutter that is supposed to close does not close anymore. I plan to take it back to get fixed or exchange.
