Love this camera, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's a bit bigger than what a "point & shoot" should be. I actually purchased the Canon Powershot SX500 first (from a store) and took it back before researching this camera and purchasing this one. The lense on this camera is amazing. The panorama feature is a plus, and there are excellent "scene" modes that make capturing a great picture very easy. I purchased this camera to take on a trip to Alaska, and am so excited to take photos now. One glitch I ran into was that because the lense can zoom so far, often times I have to back way up to zoom in to get the shot I want because the lense will not focus if I'm too close to the subject. Also it has a crazy strong flash which can wash faces/shots out so I purchased a diffuser which is on it's way now so I can't tell you how it works with the camera. The nice thing about it though is it takes great shots in low light situations...so often the photo is great without a flash. I wish the camera was smaller but it will be much easier than my big Nikon DSLR...there IS a belt camera bag that it will fit in, it's just on the bigger side.Read full review
I shoot professional photography. Every now and then I want to carry a small point and shoot camera instead of my professional equipment. I own several point and shoot cameras. This camera is one of the best point and shoot cameras ever made. The quality pictures that it produces are fantastic. It is one of my favorite cameras to use. The zoom is fantastic with a great image stabilization . A great camera for anyone to own. There are newer model versions of this camera that I own, but this one is my favorite one. Thanks, Jim

After doing a great deal of research, my partner bought one of these brand new about a year ago. Within three weeks, she accidentally spilled salad oil on it and shortly thereafter, the camera slowed to a standstill. It has been sitting in a box on floor waiting to be sent back to "somewhere" to have it fixed ever since. Well, after a year of waiting, I went on eBay and bought two of them; one for her, and one for me. What an amazing piece of technology. I am not qualified to discuss relative aperture openings or shutter speeds, and as I use this camera more and more, I am blown away by its features, ease of use and quality of images. And in case you're wondering, I also bought two camera cases to boot. No more dressing where it doesn't belong!
I am an amateur photographer and use the camera for only vacation and family photos. I wanted a good zoom lens that would take good quality photos. I had a Canon sx 40 before this camera and did not like the photos that it produced. The images were not clear and appeared more like a glamor shot. I used to compare the images to an old Olympus camera I had and they were no where close to it's images (which were exceptional).I want a EVF in my camera and Olympus appears to have stopped putting them in their cameras or I would have bought another Olympus.So far I have been pleased with this camera. It's images are much better than the Canon but not quite as crisp as the Olympus. I compared this camera to others on the internet( Nikon 510, Fuji etc.) Critics point out that this does not record in RAW and does not have a hot shoe or a plug in for an external mic which were not important to me at my level of competency. Overall I like it and would recommend it to others except for the price. I shopped around though and got it for a very good price.Read full review
Nice camera this is my second one having damaged the first one . take very good images in j peg , but going to full or actual image it is very soft and has a .lot of noise. All in use it's a very good camera with the EVF finder makes it 2 purpose camera and selfie is a lot fun to use
