    Wanted to get a camera to capture memories that was easy to use and operate. This is a great camera for its capabilities in between the very expensive and inexpensive cameras available.

    I purchased this camera on a whim, I needed one, but not at the moment. However; the price was amazing and I could pass it up. It was a good deal and take beautiful pictures and records nice videos as well. I used it to record an interview.

    Bought this for my wife to use to take pics of girls at their basketball games. Lighting in most gyms is not the best. This does not take good pics for this. All pics are blurry. Has a sports mode that lets you burst shot assumimg one pic would be good. None were. If you take a still pic, works fine. Outdoors still photo, very nice. Moving low light, not so much. Returned it. Used the money and put it towards an Iphone 13 Pro. That takes better pics for the use qe neednit for.

    I've only used for some outdoor photography...hiking/skiing. The pictures are excellent quality! Love the zoom feature as well. A big step up from the phone (obviously) without it being too much of a burden to carry

    This camera is well worth the money. It has so many features that we have no even touched. Make sure that you watch some Youtube videos on how to best take photos with this camera and use the many different options.

    The only problem I found was the time it took to turn on and to be ready for a picture. But if you keep it on when you think you'll need it!! it is a great camera. The zoom was awesome. We went to Alaska and we got some awesome wildlife shots!! Love the camera!!!

    Good camera for a beginner. Takes decent pictures and functions well for the price. I would recommend it for someone just starting out or as a backup camera.

    Great little camera with a broad range of picture taking ability. My shots have all be great and the effects allowed are wonderful. This is a travel camera so my phone will not be used for special shots.

    This camera takes pretty good pictures without much knowledge of the camera. I'm not so sure the video works very well. I will have to play with the camera a bit more before I understand how everything works. I think it is tough to beat for the money.

    Bought this for my father, who needed a higher spec camera which was also relatively simple to use. If that's what you're looking for, can't go wrong with this camera. Probably not for very advanced users. For the price, it seemed like a viable option.

    She absolutely loves this camera! I did some research and found that this was going to be the best one to start her out with and it not be a DSLR. We made the right decision. The photos it takes are amazing!
