Many appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, and the convenient Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. Positive feedback also highlights the camera's vibrant colors and features. However, some users point out that the battery life could be improved, and that the autofocus may need some adjustment.

    I love this camera. It's a great starter camera. I would recommend. It comes with batteries and also can be plugged into a wall to charge. It zooms in far and still keeps a clear picture

    Purchased the camera for our teenage granddaughter . Camera is everything we thought it would be. Great for beginners with easy to use features. Great as one expands deeper into photography hobby.

    I was looking to upgrade my Nikon for something with a faster shutter speed. The burst mode allows me to catch all the fast-moving action. This camera was the answer that I was looking for. Compact, lightweight, easy to hold, and simple instructions made it perfect for me. It was a bonus being my favorite color. I prefer to be able to quickly change batteries than yo have to remember to charge a battery so this camera has every feature I needed. The voom is very good also. I will recommend this one to anyone who wants a good inexpensive camera.

    Easy to use and setup. The Geek Squad Appointment to assist with the setup and questions was a joke. The person checking us in said he didn't know anything about cameras or what we were there for.

    This is a great camera to keep in the car or take hiking and such. Tremendous zoom range and high quality images. A good back up if you own a DSLR.

    Purchased this camera because read many good reviews. But after purchasing I loved how it looked and all. The pictures are pretty clear. The only down side is that it takes tooo long to take a picture.

    The main reason I got it was because of Bluetooth but I haven't been able to get it to work with my iPad. Still love the quality and ease of taking great photos without knowing anything about photography!

    This is the best little camera I have ever owned. My hands aren't as steady as they used to be. This camera gives me the flexibility of a longer lens without the weight. I would highly recommend it.

    First off, I luv the eggplant color of the camera, stands out easily. I like the movable display stand, that makes it easy to get hard to get shots.

    Loved the camera but didn't care for having to use AA batteries. I take alot of photos in the cold Michigan weather, so the AA's wouldn't last long in the cold weather.

    Bough this for my daughter. It seems to be a good fit for small hands. She's finding it a challenge to work the more complicated setting, but so far so good.

    This camera takes beautiful pictures in just about any setting. I'm still learning about all its features but I LOVE the SnapBridge feature of sending the pictures automatically to my phone.

    I was disappointed that BestBuy didn't carry the highest rated cameras (per consumerreports). But this camera works just like my last Nikon with better zoom. Uses 4 AA batteries instead of rechargables.
