Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 38 users at B&H Photo Video

"I shoot outdoor photos, family pics, and photos for my website. The quality of photos and the ease of use is satisfactory for my non-professional requirements. Can't beat the bang for the buck."

"finally I am able to take this camera to sporting events and get some really great shots. Everyone loves my photos and so do I!"

"This is a slow lens with a small opening to record the view. You get what you pay for. I will be saving for a faster/bigger lens."
