I've had this camera for a few months. Overall I've been happy with camera for cost. I'll list some positive and negative attributes I've seen. Positives:The camera is very sleek looking.  Fast start up. Overall takes very good quality pictures. The cost of the camera is very affordable.

I got this camera for a deal for a slight imperfection used but I did get my money's worth. This is a fantastic camera! It takes amazing pictures and i'm very pleased with it over all. It's very easy to use! I was shocked with what I had bought. It's worth the money.

Bought this as a gift for my daughter - she's thrilled with it. It's a beautiful package, color, case, etc. Easy to use and takes great pictures.
