I bought this camera last year because I didn't want to spend money on a DSLR but wanted quality photos. I usually shoot outfits and cosplays indoors at anime conventions, so I was looking for a lighter camera. The battery life isn't great, so be sure to bring an extra battery or two if you're heading out for a long day. Don't worry about manual DSLR settings, it's really difficult. I'll probably upgrade to an older DSLR with better controls as this camera is limited in what I want to expand on. But it's a great camera if you're taking simple family or vacation shots!
