This camera that I purchased for myself, I use for my photography class in college. It is a great and easy to use camera that comes with a lot of tools for the camera such as a lens cap, charger, for the camera as well as a cloth to clean it. The camera itself is a little more on the side, but the money is worth it for the camera. It takes very high-quality pictures as well as videos and works great for my photography class and my needs for it. As someone who dabbles in photography but isn’t super heavily into it I would say this is a great starter camera as it also comes with directions on how to use it. One of the features that I really like is that an app connects the camera to your phone to directly download the pictures to your phone Via the camera Wi-Fi, (note the camera Wi-Fi is not actual Internet Wi-Fi and it’s only used to connect to your cellular device). It does also have a built-in flash into the camera to use at your disposal so you won’t need outside light sources as often. Dials also allow you to change the exposure to let in more light or let in less light, something that a device like your phone may not be able to do a bit more worth investing into.
