    This is a good entry level camera for anyone that's looking to get into photography. However, don't be surprise if you outgrow this camera very quickly.

    The photo qualities are generally good. Autofocus is quick but can be a bit blurry with zoom. Startup can be a bit slower than I like but overall good.

    Not what I expected...

    I purchased this camera to replace a cannon dslr i have had for a few years... Bad Idea. I tried one of the display units in store, not the model i purchased because it was not charged/working as a display, and it appeared to work great. I took this unit home, set it all up, started shooting photos and was very disappointed !, its focus speed was horrible; not what i expected and the model in the store was only the next model up from this but seemed way faster at focusing. Its really slow and capturing objects and once found, takes longer to focus, this was on all settings : sport, action setting didn't help at all. Im sure if you use point and shoot cameras, this is the bee's knee's ... but it didnt compare to my old canon dslr in any way shape or form. It does have cool bells and whistles, i did us the wifi link and app from my android to view and control the camera , take photos, and save direct to my phone (really nice feature, but still kinda slow). NFC feature is nice and overall size was great, lenses are crazy expensive if you ask me, but im sure its all about what your looking to use it for.

    Although this camera is a couple of years old, it generates good-quality photos. It's slower than A6000, but a great backup camera for casual use.
