    This camera is everything I wanted. I caught it on a good sale as well and it’s so easy to use. My husband broke it after two weeks of having it. I took it in to get repaired and it was so fast.

    Great camera. In between a point and shoot & a professional photography camera. Takes quality photos. Can be as simple (manual) or complicated to use as you prefer depending on how skilled of a photographer you are.

    I gotta say, this camera is the Bee's Knee's. I bought my old camera back in 2005, so naturally when I took my first photo with it I was instantly shocked by the crispness of the photograph. The adjustable screen is a big help for If you want to take a close up photo of something on the ground but you don't want to lay down in the mud to take it. I highly recommend getting a case for it as it is small and easy to bump off of things because of how light it is.

    I got a great open box deal on this camera. My boyfriend and I plan on using it for vacation photos. We just got back from Sedona, AZ, and got some beautiful pictures! We also purchased additional lenses for it. It's definitely better than my old point and shoot. We are not camera experts, but we're pleased.

    Bought the camera for a trip and it ended up being an excellent choice, My wife enjoys nature and specifically birding, so the fact that this camera can zoom in effectively warranted this rating.

    The camera overall is pretty good. My issue is with the screen, the photos look much better on the computer than on the actual camera screen, which can make it a little harder for accuracy. The really cool thing is that you can flip the screen and take hi res selfies. If you are shooting photos or videos on your own, this is great for that. Also the wifi part is also really cool to transfer images to your phone. I removed one star just on the screen resolution.
