Try it, you will like it. The price can't be beat.

I compared the picture quality to my Canon 5d kit lens, shooting a page of newspaper print at 15 feet, and could not see any difference. It fits comfortably in the hand. Other reviews complain that too many features are controlled digitally, not with physical wheels and buttons. I have not had that problem. It doesn't seem much different than my Canon. I bought this for backpacking, and it will be perfect. So light weight and cmpact. The one short coming is being limited to the digital display to frame photos. You must be the shade to make use of the screen, and if not in the shade, then you just aim and shoot, and hope you were close. There are several devices available to provide a screen for the digital display, but they seem to have their on limitations. I am still exploring options. The tiny flash is manual not through the lens but it works as well as any mounted, manual flash. It is a useful addition.Read full review
