    Great little camera for the price!
    4 Stars
    Great little camera for the price!
    I am a total novice when it comes to photography but I wanted an inexpensive camera to take photos for food blogging or at events. After doing a lot of research, I settled on this because it fit within my $300 budget. The camera is pretty basic and includes a charging cord and batteries. There is only enough base memory for about 4 photos so you'll definitely need a memory card. This takes good photos in natural light and doesn't do a great job in low light settings without the flash. However, I can easily brighten photos using editing software (I sometimes use Lightroom but free programs will also do this too) so this is not a concern. Photo details are clear but sometimes darker colors (blacks or blues) may look muted without color correction. I like the pivoting viewfinder but I wish that the camera had a screen that turned completely around. I love that it has 1080p video that is really clear. Uploading photos using the USB cord is also very easy too. I have a MacBook and all of the photos import fine without any software. I have not tried out the Wi-Fi feature yet but I like that it's also an option. This model is a over a year old but unless you're bothered by not having the latest technology, it's still a great buy for anyone on a strict budget.The included photo is an unedited, zoomed photo of a bush in my yard. Very clear detail!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice camera at a nice price.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019
    I wanted a camera that took good pictures, without requiring a lot of fiddling with adjustments and without breaking the bank. This camera has filled the niche for me. The camera has several settings that are automatic , which cover different photo situations. The “Smart Scene” is your go to automatic option. It works well most all situations, whether normal or long distance. The “Macro” for up close on small objects works nice too. In the photos I attached, the flower was taken on Macro. This flower was about 3/4 of an inch wide. The lizard in the photo, was about 5-6 inches long and I took the picture from 20 feet away, with the camera set on Smart Scene. I was impressed that it took such a good picture of a small object, from so far away. The zoom is great. The camera isn’t too bulky and the weight is good. I carried it around my neck for three long days of checking out a zoo, an aquarium and a museum. Battery life was good too. I took a lot of pics and never changed batteries. On that note, it uses 4 AA batteries. I like this as opposed to a rechargeable battery, as you can throw extra batteries in your pocket and switch them out n the fly if the camera dies. Here are the cons: The auto focus can take several seconds to resolve itself. Not a deal breaker, but can be irritating. The flash will not auto deploy. You must manually extend it, if you think flash may be needed. I just left it up while inside. Other than that, the camera is great. It took a little practice and trial and error, but after about 45 min, I had it down. I can definitely recommend this camera.
