My husband likes this camera so much. He needed a small sized camera which has a slow motion function for taking pictures of our daughter who is really active. When we first looked at this camera, it was a little bit expensive. We agreed to wait for a few weeks and got it with reasonable price. Good quality! Easy to use! Perfect product!- Review by Jana

I think this camera is the fastest ever camera out in the market as of now. Continuous shooting at .26-second intervals. This camera is really beneficial for amateur users. The quickness and Sensitivity are the highlights of this camera. You have options to transfer the photos taken wirelessly to other devices as well. It also comes with video shooting capability at 1080p. You can take up to 500 snaps under full charge. This camera is also stylish.- Review by amateur
