This was purchased to replace a film camera of my wife's that quit working. This is a newer model, that has some better features (like telephoto lens). The only negative point is that the lens cover doesn't open all the way, when you turn it on. All we do is gently touch the cover and it opens the rest of the way. It takes very nice pictures and the price is better for replacement batteries.
I had a camera like this for awhile but it got lost. I was at my wits end to find another one, when someone sugguested ebay! I was there at a very inexpensive price so I bought ONE only to turn around and buy 3 more as gifts! The camera is so easy to use and the pictures are beautiful! Sharp detail with the zoom. I even put on in my truck since it was so reasonable - beats a disposeable! I can't say enopugh good about this camera - easy to use- great workmanship - beautiful pictures.
This camera stands up to any weather condition, and perfomrs great! This camera takes crystal-clear photos at the blink of an eye. Has red-eye reduction which is wonderful. If you take photos inside or out, rain or snow, durring the day or the night, this camera will take amazing photos with ease. If you are looking for a great camera for a great price, this is the caera for you, stop looking and buy one of these today and start taking breathtaking photos tomorrow! I've owned this for years and is always a blast, I have years of great pictures to show!
