Great Camera / price / and quick shipping.
I am use to using an older 6mp EOS DSLR, and my smart phone for video and quick pics.
This camera is lighter, smaller and has a great optical zoom with stabilization.I am now more apt to take it when my DLSR was too big to carry around all day. Plus, it is a full HD video recorder. Has many modes to work with about any situation, plus it has some good manual style modes. I personally like to control ISO, the equivalent Nikon did not let you set ISO.
One picky dislike is frame ratio. If you want to shoot some standard images you need to set the camera in 3:2, if you want to shoot video, you probably want to set it to 16:9. So when you are going back and forth from one mode to the other, you must reset the frame ratio. It should have separate settings, one for video, and one for still pics.
Overall, it is a great lightweight compact camera. Way better than your smart phone, not as good as a $1000 + DSLR.
One more thing:
When comparing cameras, don't focus only on megapixels and think a smart phone with 16mp is as good as a 16mp camera with a real lens.
