I bought this to replace a Nikon Coolpix, and wow, what a camera. It is so simple to use, and has great menus if you are not camera savvy. Pick a setting and it tells you what exactly the setting is in layman's terms. This is the best camera I have used. It takes incredible photos in any resolution, awesome video quality. I love the high speed shooting option for sports, animals and the like. You will be as happy as me with this camera

Most of the pictures are of fair quality but any taken with the zoom feature came out blurred. Stabilation did't help. Loved the size and price, but I guess you do get what you pay for.Going back for sure.

I was very upset with this purchase. This camera was nothing like the description. Most of the pictures I took were blurred at a concert. I was trying to record and the batteries died within an hour. I guess I did not read enough because if I knew I had to keep buying batteries, I definitely would not not have purchased this camera. I had a Kodax before this and I will definitely go back to Kodax. I got this camera two weeks ago and I hope I can return it.

I like the size of the camera and so far it has taken really nice quality pictures. However, when viewing your shots in view mode, you cannot change/adjust the size of the photo by using the W/T button to capture certain scenes in the photo. I like being able to zoom in on my pictures after they're taken. I'd keep it if that feature worked.

Was really hoping this would be a good replacement for my Kodak. First Blink detection, face detection, smile detection is just a cute button. doesn't work at all. No auto shutter release, the face frame box just sits there. Seems grainy when you turn on, alot of features you can adjust. But they don't make it better.
Still only has 3x optical zoom, 5 with digital. Pictures seem clear. You can buy better in stores for same or lower price.Don't be fooled by 10MP
