Worth paying a little extra for

I've had many digital pocket cameras in the past and have never been satisfied with them, because I wanted to use them to "capture the moment", and the time they took to focus and shoot was so slow, that the moment was long gone by the time the picture was taken. Most of them had the "press shutter button halfway to focus" feature, and when you did, they would flash a light on and off rapidly and the focus would go in and out for a few seconds, annoying people and scaring away pets and wildlife.
This camera is totally different. When you press the shutter button it shoots. Bam. No waiting. No press halfway to focus. It's exactly what I was looking for.
I also chose to get the model that included WiFi, which was a few hundred more than the "basic", but for me it was worth it. I've only had the camera for a few weeks so I can't really comment on all the other features, there are a lot and look forward to learning about them.

This tripod features aluminum and technopolymer material for durability and a quick-release plate for easy removal of your camera. The integrated photo/video head makes it easy to switch between applications.

Really good value for the money

I bought this for taking bird photos. It's really light, and it folds down quite small, so it's easy to carry on long hikes. Extending the legs is easier than I thought once you get used to it. As you would expect from the low price, the tripod head is not so wonderful, but it's good enough to get the job done. With some practice you can judge how much it's going to shift while locking it down, and offset your aim accordingly. Maybe someday I'll replace the head with something better. But again for the price, this is way better than taking handheld shots, especially If you have a 300mm telephoto or something like that.
What's great about it: Low cost, light weight
What's not so great: Tripod head shifts a bit when locking down
I would recommend this to a friend!
