Got it as a gift as requested gor long time to my spouse. Great as ever gift that keeps on giving for long time in the future. I’ll study it as it is overwhelming to learn, trial and error would be great execution in beginning.
No matter which battery I use for this camera, and how much the battery is charged, the battery dies within minutes of use, rendering this camera virtually unusable. There are some nice features the camera has, but overall, the camera has been a vast disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love to have one but screen is too small to read especially for elder person. I need wear glass to change setting during shooting. Lol , not suitable to senior photographer .
