Are you looking for something that won't give you problems everything you turn it on?Looking for something that you don't need to go to photography school to use?Want great pictures?Awesome videos with a viewing screen that swivels?This is it. I'm not even joking. I originally got this for my teen daughter as I wasn't trying to break the bank especially if this gets ruined *fingers crossed * (if you know teens you know what I'm saying) .. BUT it turns out I'm actually using this camera as MY go-to. I have a canon dslr that I bought when I was an over ambitious family memory maker but that $700 camera is sitting on the storage shelf and I find myself grabbing this camera EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Who would've thought?There's so many settings, and the ease of use is on-point. I actually ended up getting two so I didn't have to keep sharing with my daughter. She loves it too-and that's saying a lot with picky teens.I could go on forever but honestly I'm not one for all the jazz. This camera has it all-Great battery lifeA+ quality of picturesLots of features, it really does it allCompact but feels good in your hands: well made-durableAnd I'll end it with my favorite feature- THE SCREEN! It opens up for easy viewing and is super helpful for those family photos or videos so everyone - even mama can get in and see how it comes out while you pose or record.I couldn't be more satisfied, and that's a lot considering the market now a days. Great buy for sure! One of those things you just want to spread the word about, so here I am.
