Hi friends I wish to tell u that my husband owned this camera way back two years ago.and I can tell you that we have captured some of the finest moments spent together with each other from the honeymoon days to some of the weekend getaways whenever we getbtime to spend together.we never miss to carry the camera.friends it is very easy to handy.moreover the camera is very sturdy and robust.and the lens of the camera is very fantastic. If you know photography you can click some really beautiful pics.but my husband also did not know intially but he learnt everytime something new whenever he used to use this camera. The battery life is pretty descent and the shutter speed is also adjustable to take snapshots of spoting events.
