First, let me say that I am an experienced photographer. I've worked with basic cameras to widescreen cameras. I bought this for my daughter. It's just an amazing little camera. The lens is super fast, the focus is pretty damn good and the image quality is amazing. Depending on what you're looking for, this camera could be the one for you.
