Some pros: My first camera, I can only compare with phones. Photos on this device are naturalistic, zoom is a pleasure to use. I always take this camera on trips - it does not discharge the phone, and with a zoom you can grab interesting moments. Unlike phones, fotkaet instantly. And the pictures are blurry only in very poor lighting. Cons: Video quality, of course, lagged behind smartphones. And I saved money on buying a camera - I refused additional lotions, only one of them is missing in the end. If you have the means, buy a camera with a rotating screen, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to take pictures from ground level or above your head. Charging from microusb, of course, is also not enough.
