    We bought this camera for VLOGing our little girl growing up. This camera is so easy to pick up and use. Great quality and may I say, the white color looks very nice and crisp.

    I love it! It takes great quality pictures, and is easy to use for someone who doesn't know a lot about photography. I love the tips it gives you too.

    This camera is a great starter camera. The lens is great for most shots and the learning curve isn't that overwhelming for a new mirror less owner.

    This camera at least for me is hit and miss. Sometimes pictures are good and other times they are not. It does take good pics in low light situations. Videos on the camera are decent but it tends to try to auto focus to much and other times the focus takes forever to finally focus in.

    Best Buy had it on sale. So far I have been pretty happy with it. Doesn't weigh much and probably will buy the 55-210 lens to go with it.

    Great Beginner Camera with DSLR Functions The removable lens is a fantastic idea that really gives extra function to this point and shoot camera. Also the flip up screen is perfect for taking selfies with the self timer function coming in very handy.

    I'm still learning how to use it but love it so far. The battery life is better than advertised (I got 300+ shots and 6+ hours several times). My only complaint is that the control dial on the back is really close to where the thumb rest is, so it's easy to hit by accident.

    We got this camera for our honeymoon/ vacation. All I can say Is wow!! We took pictures that looked like they would be in National Geographic…. If your in the market spend the money and get what you pay for. Takes some time to learn the settings and modes, but after that it's down hill.

    The small size allows you to take it anywhere, but it is very powerful, and takes great pictures.
