    I like it! It’s good for a starter camera. The battery seems to die quickly though. I’m not sure if it’s the camera itself or just mine. And I have a difficult time getting it to focus.

    Very good camera for beginners! I would definitely recommend this to someone who has never used a camera before but wants to try it out. You can record in 4k as well so the quality is really good. There are also plenty of YouTube videos you can watch about how to use this camera.

    One of the best cameras I’ve ever bought. It’s really easy to set up or if you need help, just look on TikTok. I’ve bought this camera to take everyday photos or pictures when I dress up. The quality is perfect. You really don’t have to buy the SD card reader because you can download the “Creators” app and get it transferred directly to your phone quickly. I love this camera and it’s perfect for beginners!!
