While no one in this family is truly a professional photographer, we are observant people. We are a mom, dad, daughter,have a dog, cat, aunts, uncles and more and all of us love memories. You can't take people with you when you go, but the memories will always be in your heart and this little gem was able to capture this. It captures it as portraits (of the dog licking herself), zooms in while the boys are playing football, the ceiling fan (six year old), it catches the grandkids snatching cookies and most of all captures memories of that special spring break vacation.For someone that had very little experience, in less than a week's time she was snapping photos like she was a pro in Hollywood. So many fun little experiences. We even made sure the six year old knew that yes the videos could go on You Tube, guess she plans on being the next star.Beside the zoom and wideangle lenses I think our favorite has ended up being the 180 degree flip screen. So many things you can capture with this, in ways you could never get before. The size is amazingly comfy, not bulky at all, but does the trick. It is nice and solid, easy to use and for the price we paid, we feel like we didn't break the bank.Husband is most jealous of the 4k digital camera that has the pause function. It allows us to continue recording in the same file without restarting a new one. His only disappointment is that we told him he should get his own if he plans on using it for fishing. We are rather fearful we might not get it back. This is truly a great family camera, and yet at the same time, reasonable enough you could have a few of them in the family. Save purple for me, it's my signature color.I forgot to share that we were able to record while we were charging it, how super cool is that? Oh and the LED light is amazing for camping photos. I really need to shut up, could talk all day about this little camera. So final words, say CHEESE!!
