Compact camera but takes excellent photos day and night with the zoom capabilities & other features. When shopping for a camera, a “must have” for me was the internet connection to enable easy transfer of photos to an iPad or iPhone. Without this feature, a cable to connect the devices would be necessary. I’ve used this camera constantly on 2 overseas trips without any issues. I have purchased an additional battery to allow me to take pictures non-stop over several hours.

After weeks of researching i bought this Camera, picture quality is very good as is the video quality, battery time seems to be good, the 40X zoom is excellent, lots of settings to suit every situation, all the controls have a quality feel about them, love the fact that you choose if you want to use the Flash or not, it doesn't just pop up when it thinks you need it, the camera is a good size to, not big and bulky and not small either, easy to use and would definitely recommend this camera. i bought this camera online and in Australia from an Australian store, i'll just say it was way cheaper to buy it online than instore, just look around for the best price.
