My Review 

I was looking for a new camera for summer, and I was surfing through various options. I wanted a camera that could suit my budget and while searching on Amazon, I got to know about this camera. The features and especially the price blew me away! (Amazon Canada sells it for $149.) This camera is 16 MP, takes crystal clear pictures at zoom and has a 15X optical zoom. I would call it a bridge camera. Lots of features packed into this camera. The build is solid and doesn't look cheap. Before buying it, I researched a lot about it, saw YouTube video reviews by the owners, sent them messages, etc. And almost everybody replied in positive and were happy about its performance. My friend who is good at photography was very amazed at this camera and said that this camera is really good.

I would recommend this camera to everybody. If you want something more than a point and shoot, then this is the one!!
