    I just got this camera in and so far I love it!! It came new in the box and didn’t have any signs of use. I’m not sure if there will be issues in the future but for right now I love this camera! Perfect camera for going out with friends and getting cute dinner pics or having a little photoshoot. The fliping screen is a great source for selfies! I 100% recommend this item. Even though it’s expensive you have to splurge to get the good stuff!! Buy them before they run out!!

    Love it so far! We just got it after watching many reviews on TikTok! It works great, still figuring out the settings and all but even using the basic settings the photos turn out great. Has a great battery life and super fun and easy to use. Definitely get ur influence pictures. The quality is great, I would say worth the money, the documentation of memories is priceless and more fun to use than ur phone. Also this bag is great if u like to bring it everywhere so it doesn’t scratch up

    Me pegue un buen susto porque cuando llegué a mi casa y abrí el paquete no venia la cámara adentro, después me confesó mi hermana que me estaba jugando una broma para ver cómo hubiese reaccionado si me robaban algo que me había costado tan caro. La cámara es de buena calidad. Toma muy bonitas fotos y la agarré a un súper precio en comparación de otros lugares donde las venden.

    Package came next day when it was originally scheduled to arrive in 5 days. The camera is flawless. No issues. Camera is perfect size, amazing quality, and 100% worth the investment. Came with the battery, charger, and wrist strap in the box. Highly recommend.

    This is a quality camera, but the seller is a problem! I had to return the camera due to the fact that I could not longer use it for it’s intended use (small, compact). HOWEVER, I was charged a “restocking fee” of $186.96?!! The camera was used for about 5 minutes, re-packaged perfectly with all contents intact including the packing materials, returned well within the time allowed, and returned via UPS. The camera is a great camera, but don’t buy from this vendor–almost $200 to return the camera!!! I know the camera is in short supply (it’s been discontinued) but find another vendor!

    It costs way more than the last time I bought the same one -years ago. Easy to use, great pictures quality, like the size, hard to tell about battery life yet but do have an extra battery and charger just in case when traveling. To be honest, I don’t use a lot of the bluetooth features – I like the aim and shoot with the ability to zoom or not.

    I ordered this camera “New” but there was no battery cap so I wondering if the battery/camera was used. Anyone have a missing battery cap? The label under the flip screen has codes….UK, CA, EAC. Anyone know what this means? So far it takes good photos and video. I also noticed that the 4K video seems a little shaky compared to the HD 30fps. Not sure if it’s me. Thank you

    I have three of these but this is the only one with the 40x Zoom . Different models but all three have the same flash and the other two are broken . One does not flash and the other is loose at the hinge. Be careful with the flashes they are delicate. Only complaint , the problem is 800.00 a crack and no help for repair . I almost bought a Nikon this time but supplies are limited at stores and online. The next model similar is 1400 . If I was not in a hurry I may have waited for a different camera. I have 7 cannon cameras , cannon doesn’t care just keep buying them. Honest review from my experience over 20 years. Have a good day. So far this one is holding up .
