I've only had my camera for a little over a week now and although I haven't yet learned all the features I really like it. I probably won't use all the features anyway. I basically bought it because I wanted a camera that had a good optical zoom and quality image for an upcoming concert.

We bought this as we were getting tired of using our phones to take pictures all the time. On sale, this camera was an awesome deal. The pictures look great, and if you are willing to take the time to read the manual and utilize the functions, you can do pretty much anything with it.

This is a stunning camera that performs as I require. Only drawback is that it does not have a landscape image option. Therwise, I am completely happy with it.

As the photography me apasiona am in the habit of having at the same time even 6 - 7 different chambers, each one offers me a few peculiarities and different characteristics and they make me complete my passion for the photography.
