I wanted to wait a few months to write a comment about this camera that I did not buy on Amazon but in a specialty store. I have since Christmas and being a slammer second hand, I also wanted me to have my own photos and memories. However, I took my time before taking this product because the price is quite high. And I must admit that I am absolutely not disappointed with this purchase. The flash I hardly use it. I have not yet used and especially use it in black and white. In short, for me, as first purchase of camera, I am fully satisfied. The battery is, however, short for scenes. Better to have several (I have 3). Very good device in all cases :)
