    This camera is designed for me. I especially just like the guide menu. I felt so overwhelmed initially but reading the manual and checking out the guide, everything became easy breezy.

    I needed a fantastic camera that can take nice clear pictures and this seems to have the desired effect to date its beginner friendly also, i am still learning every one of the choices on it but i am very satisfied so far.
