I don't think I've ever been so happy with an order. Razor-sharp photos, great kit lens, supplied accessories such as a flash and a shoulder strap, supplied top-quality editing software.

  • Screen can't go all the way up but can go down

Long doubted about a more compact model or a larger one. Super happy with my decision for a more compact model, especially as the first better camera.
