This camera is not only small and EZ to carry in your pocket. It takes HUGE pics if you want/need that. Of course you can change the size to fit your needs/memory. Granted it does not come with a memory card, which is pretty standard. Very worthy cam though, and again Open Box is not anything to be afraid of. I bought the OB via online because there were NONE available for over 150 miles radius. I do however have a BB close by, IF the item came damaged OR unsatisfactory I would have just returned it to my local store. Yet it came IN the orig. box/instruction/power cable/strap. Perfect! Thanks!

Sometimes a cell phone camera is not enough or too small for serious viewing and editing variations. This camera is easy to operate, and with a memory card I can create, edit and enhance when I have to time to do a lot of shots at once.
Price was excellent.

I purchased this to have a small basic point and shoot camera. The screen image is better than most in this price range, with a faster frame rate. Image quality is quite good, and it so far it seems durably built.

Got this for my husband that wanted a point and shoot that he didn't have to mess with. It's great. It's got everything you need plus more. It's easy for him to use, and that's the most important thing. If he wants to do something more advanced, it's easy to figure out!

Purchased 4/20
We bought this camera to replace a REALLY NICE, Kodak, that needed another, expensive , battery.
First set-up took only a short time.
First pictures were of birds, through a patio door, from about 12' inside the room. PERFECT, all other shots were easy & GREAT.
Hardest thing we had to do, was figure how to get the Date & Time, to print on the picture.
The info. was in the directions, but were not easily located. So far, easily replaces the Kodak, and is a lot easier to carry, focus & use.

I have a large camera samsung about the size of a 35 MM camera,and it is to large to fit in my glovebox, so I wanted a pocket camera with some of the same features of my larger camera but smaller in size.

My several year old Sony started having problems after tens of thousands of very good pictures. I also had a Sony for many years before that is still working but old tech. and larger. I wanted a small point and shoot camera and this one seemed to fit my needs except no optical viewfinder, but that seems to be something in the past. It is a bit smaller than my previous, perhaps a bit too small, but I want it to slip in my pocket. It has a Zeiss lens as the previous and seems to take good pictures for what it is. I was skeptical at its very low price, much cheaper than my previous, but comparing to other brands and Sonys at higher prices did not show me more value, mostly more features that I did not want. I KNOW, some want more and perhaps may get better pictures (?) but this does fine for my need as a point and shoot. For professional quality pictures get a bulky DSLR at a much higher price. I also like that this one still takes my MEMORYSTICK media as well as SD and other.
