Broken Right Out Of The Box

 

I ordered this camera specifically for a vacation I took and was extremely disappointed to find that it was broken right out of the box. The LCD screen was damaged rendering the camera unusable. I would not buy this camera again.

Exellent camera Best for Price

 

Buy it on sale, is a very basic acamara in all aspects of high quality but with some focus issues but nothing that can not calm arreglarcelas to take a good photo, I seems it for $ 50 you pay what you pay received .

Great, for what it is

 

12 MP, 4X zoom and Amazon $50.00 Gold Box deal, there are none better. Had a new Fuji FinePix and cannot stand to use it. Am a Canon snob, but Panasonic Lumix might just change that game
