Compact and great

This little gem is very compact but packed with great features. Full-auto mode gets most shots right without asking much of the user, while scene and semi-manual modes let you get creative and get more focused shots. The battery life is better than I expected for such a small camera. a few hundred photos on the very first charge (about 1 in 10 with flash) before a charge is required. The "Panorama" mode was confusing at first, I was expecting it to glue photos together in-camera, but it's mainly an alignment aid; When I got it, I realized how to use it. I can't comment on WiFi as I haven't used it and don't intend to. I post directly to social media from my phone, not my camera. Instead of Wi-Fi, I would have liked it better if there was a GPS option for geotagging photos, which was used all the time. One last thing, this is a great compact camera and it's so small I carry it with me all the time. ; a great companion for a DSLR, but also great as a main camera if you're not too picky.
