THIS WAS THE FIRST CAMERA I HAD EVER BOUGHT AND I WAS REALLY HAPPY WITH MY CHOICE INDEED.THE CAMERA HAD ALL THE FEATURES IN IT, THE ZOOM WAS GOOD AND THE LENS AS WELL.THE FLASH AND OTHER THINGS WORK REALLY GOOD AS WELL.THERE ARE A LOT OF SETTINGS WHICH YOU CAN ADJUST AND GET THE SHOT YOU WANT TO TAKE.THE FOCUS SPEED OF THE CAMERA WAS VERY FAST AS WELL AND THE PICTURES IN LOW LIGHT CARRIED A LOT OF DETAIL.
