Not 100% happy with this for what I paid for it. I loved my Canon a lot better, but once it froze up, I needed one in a pinch. Ordered online & picked up in the store same day. Wouldn't do it again if I had more time to research this. The pictures aren't quite clear. The autofocus takes it's time & is usually behind. The flash doesn't compensate most of the time for the elements. My Canon would take a picture in the dark, black dark, & would show up as if it was daytime.
