    Thus is a very nice camera for the price. It has a great zoom feature, but what’s the point in having that great zoom feature if it’s just going to blur out the subject you’re trying to capture. This great for close ups but not much else!

    Stopped Working Within Minutes

    Was excited to get this today. Packaging seemed OK, definitely not the original box, but came with the camera, batteries, strap, and USB cable. No instructions were included. I put batteries and an SD card in and took about three photos. Took the SD card out to download the pics. When I tried to power back on after that, the camera comes on for like a minute or two but is totally unresponsive to any commands, then the screen goes dark. Very disappointed. Waste of time and money!

    I didn't realize the camera wasn't rechargeable unless you purchase a separate battery pack. Didn't keep it.
