    I am pretty new to buying medium-higher end digital cameras, but I expected better resolution in the pictures and videos. This purchase is not quite what I expected, but images are not bad when in outdoor lighting.

    Purchased this camera for a recent trip to Greece. I spent much time figuring out setting, it would be easier if instructions explained what settings are for, I am just an amateur and was not sure what to put them on. I cannot get it to link to my phone even though i tried multiple times. Despite all of this it did take fantastic photos in bright light. Not so great in low light. My daughter loved the selfie feature. Battery life excellent, which is always a concern.

    The camera is wonderful - I haven't had a chance to use all its features yet but am having fun with it. However, when I went to use the $20 credit with Shutterfly was told the code coupon (or whatever you call it) had already been used even though I hadn't used it. No big deal but thought you would like to be made aware of this.

    We were a bit worried with the price being so low on this camera, but it was one of the better purchases we have made this past year. The camera takes amazing pictures, has a ton of settings that can improve your picture taking, and the battery life is great. We have a very active two year old, so the burst mode comes in very handy when you're trying to get a good picture of a moving target.
