    Works great. A lot of cameras looked at did not have view finder which this one does for those bright daylight shots. Doing a lot of practicing with all the many options. Shots coming out great even the close ups. Night shots great and clear. Did moon shot which shows clear craters of moon with the 40 x zoom. This is my second point and shoot and has a lot of options to use. Love the GPS location of pictures on a map, cool. I have no disappointments with this camera at all. Looking forward to future practicing.
