    This camera is amazing!! I love all the different setting it has for whatever kind of picture your taking. I love the zoom that this camera has. I only wish it had a rechargeable battery but that's the only downfall I see in this camera!

    The camera, when working, was good. Easy to use and took very nice pictures. I bought this to take on an Alaskan cruise so the pictures were breathtaking. The problem was that the camera only worked about 2/3 of the time. If I turned the camera off after taking a few pictures and then turned it back on to begin again, it may or may not come back on. It was very frustrating. Had to use my cell phone camera part of the time. Also, a few times when I used the zoom to the maximum distance, it would not zoom back without turning the camera off then back on. All in all, not recommended.

    This was a Christmas gift for our 12 year old who wants to get into photography. She loves it and it takes great pictures. Nice camera for a beginner, easy to operate.

    Great camera and easy to use with super optical zoom capabilities. A little slow on the focus when camera is zoomed way out. One drawback is the location of the record button for videos. I find myself pressing it without intending to and find the camera recording when I go to snap a picture. I like that is still uses AA batteries rather than a rechargable pack. My lifestyle prevents always having access to the ability to recharge. . Overall a great camera for the money.

    This is a very cool camera. Takes great pictures from what I have tried and has a very sturdy feel in the hand but not so bulky as some other larger cameras. Flip out screen is very handy for different angle shots and the fact that it takes AA batteries is super helpful!

    This camera was a gift purchased for my daughter, an art major in college. She loved the simplistic controls for the camera, which still allowed her to create long and short exposure shots. Great optical zoom too.

    While I have only had this camera for about 7 weeks I think it is an incredibly good camera especially for the price. I replaced my old Kodak with this one and it is by far a much better quality camera.

    It is a little bigger than my old camera but easy to use. Can just point and shoot if I want or can use all the bells and whistles. Tried it out for the first time at a beach wedding and it worked great.
