I would recommend this to a friendHated it and they wouldn't let me return it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera just feels cheap. Takes too long to focus and take pictures. I thought I had 30 day return or exchange policy but found out otherwise when I went to bestbuy. I couldn't even exchange it for a better one that I would pay a difference for. They said to sell it on eBay. So it's still sitting in the box in my drawerer.

Great camera for a beginner.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the first digital camera for my sister. I like that the telephoto knob is not by the on/off button. It also has a large display.All my higher end cameras are sony and I feel confident in the brand.
I would recommend this to a friendSlow reading to SD card
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This older (2014) camera isn't what I was looking for. It doesn't match with the reviews. My main complaints is slow reading to the SD card and poor indoor photos. Takes good photos outdoors and good close ups, but the lag in reading time and indoor photos are a deal breaker for me. Will be taking it back.

Good camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good camera. Make sure you have a good memory card (SD card). I have older cameras that use less memory but equal quality in pictures.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat little camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes but much heavier. We haven't had much of an opportunity to use it much yet as we got it for Christmas. We got this one for my wife. I have an older model that takes great pictures.

I would recommend this to a friendNot my first choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I find the on/off button difficult to push to get on and when taking a picture it is very delayed in the flash. If I still can I am going to return.

- Pros mentioned:Size
Not Impressed ....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I try to be optimistic about products as much as I can but sadly I can't while writing about this camera. It's a great compact size but thats it. I didn't see much difference between the pictures from this camera and my iPhone 6 pictures. Disappointed to say the least .... after having it for less than 24 hours I decided to return it and do some research and maybe buy another camera in the future.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Good for what I wanted
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera seems fine. Have only had a short time. It does take a while for the camera to capture the image once you depress the button.
I would recommend this to a friendEasy to Use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it for work. Takes great stills, if the video quality was higher I would rate as a 5
