    Very good camera and easy to use. The only think I don't like is the fact that it doesn't have a viewfinder.

    We very much enjoyed film photography, but digital had an averse effect on that. Recently we decided to invest in a relatively high-end digital camera to begin re-educating for the digital age. This camera has enough bells and whistles that it serves that purpose admirably. We're looking forward to exploring the capabilities of this device.

    I purchased this camera because I was looking for a high quality multi functional device. This camera has met my expectations. My only Con is the view screen that doesn't preform very well in daylight, it tends to wash out due to reflection. I wish I would have spent the extra money for the 6100 that offers a traditional "eye " viewfinder.

    Great camera overall. Easy to use all the applications and set it up or just how it it is works great. Auto focusing makes things very easy for beginner photographer. Really enjoy taking it out for nature pictures. The only thing I am frustrated about is the price went down 100$+ after the 2 week price match guarantee. Possibly the day after. At the price it’s at now I wouldn’t hesitate on owning this great camera!
