    This camera is a great size wise. it is lightweight and compact but the battery life truly leaves something to be desired. No matter how I change my settings my battery last for maybe 100 photos and maybe 20 minutes of video. Could be a faulty battery and I will be ordering a new battery to see if that helps but be aware that this has been an issue
