Review: Great starter camera: not too simple not too complicated. - Me (part time) professional photographer. Bought for 49.99 with £20 one off discount. Purpose: intro into photography for a young teen. The good: 1 Lovely retro look, solid quality metal construction 2 variable ISO 3 variable exposure settings up to +/- 3 stops, one stop at a time. 4 multiple other settings including colour settings. 5 point, centre, matrix (?), & average light metering settings. 6 flash - though pretty weak, multiple settings though which is vital 7 image stabilisation (yet to really test) 8 screen flips up to allow video blogging for the self obsessed. Works a treat. 9 includes micro SD card AND usb A reader (if your computer company was too lazy or arrogant (Apple of old) to provide one. 10 Snapchat type settings (not tried to be honest) The bad: 1 despite the size of the camera the lens is tiny, smaller or at best similar than for example a iPhone pro max 14 or even iPhone XR. I showed the teen a sample SLR lens as was unclear on concept - reply “oh right really no difference in size”. Wonderful sarcasm: comparing a lens 8cm wide vs ~0.5cm wide. 2 battery - jury out, appeared good initially but then went to 50%. However charged very quickly. I see others think battery good so this initial drop may be due to intense testing. Later testing battery holds up. 3 lack of programming, AP, SP (aperture and shutter speed priority). Again not expected at all at this price point. 4 oops no lens cover, however the lens is recessed and very small. So no biggy. Overall: really good intro to photography, take back some control from a mindless smart phone. Recommend for the price, despite the negatives. Wish desertcart did 10 point ratings as this would be a 7-8/10 for price/quality yet a 4/5 appears worse than it is hence 5/5 as for price I think it fits the bill. Anything I would change? Larger lens and some programming as that is a big part of photography but probably way outside this price range and this camera offers some workarounds. As a beginner camera this is a good option. Review: Handy item - Good camra
