Mother of 2 with one on the way, & this camera has met all of our family photography needs so far. Images are sharp & clear right out of the box & there's an option to upgrade lenses & use manual settings. I have 2 dslrs. A Nikkon, & a Cannon, I love both of them as well, but unlike them this one slips right into my purse & I'm really appreciating not having to carry the bulk of the bigger camera right now.

Purchased about 11 months ago. Still going strong. Easy camera to use.
This is my first mirrorless and is a serious upgrade from my Sony pocketcam. I like that even with the lens, this camera still fits in my pocket.

I was looking for a good vlogging camera and this was perfect. Especially for someone who doesn't know much about cameras, it is easy to use and the built in wifi makes transferring photos to your smartphone much easier
