    SUPERB for this size of a point and shoot!

    It's so great! What can I say. The best thing I like is the zoom! 30x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom (I think it's 2x, may be something else) is mind blowing. But for objects near the camera while the camera is zoomed in a lot, it doesn't really focus good. Also, low light shots are not going to turn out great on this camera. But it does transfer the photos automatically (you have to link your phone first) to your phone after it shuts down! That's a great feature.

    So I purchased this camera to take overseas with me.I usually carry a 35 mm Cannon Rebel but the weight of it was getting to be to much, this appeared to be the solution. Wrong...it is extremely difficult to see the shot on the view screen, I see a reflection of myself, in the sun it is virtually impossible to see. The rotation to do vertical worked then turned it self off. It is difficult to focus which means lost shots that I can never replace. now the screen has all kinds of information on it that I can't clear. Not easy to find instructions to help. A camera shop....not in the far reaches of Morocco

    Does Not Work Well

    You can get much better cameras than this one for less money. The screen is not bright. On a sunny day you can't see a thing. So they threw in a viewfinder. It's so small you can hardly see a thing.
