This camera is good option for beginners. The price of the camera is awesome even you cant buy other nikon DSLR camera at this price. This camera has only 5 focus points so background blur effect is not good as other nikon camera like d7000. Why I said that this camera is good for beginners because this phone doesnt require lots of adjustments like shutter speed, Aperture, iso etc. in manual option and click good pictures.
