I prefer manual settings as i started on old-school 35mm cameras. The battery life is pretty decent, And if you' re a manual or even auto setting kind of person it has a 'fair' amount of both.

It has a nice grip on it, And the right amount of heft for steadying your shots without a tripod like most Dslrs.

i' ve taken some amazing pictures with it from everyday all around shots to some Wildlife photography with Just the lenses in the kit, Mostly birds and squirrels around my area, Some Moon shots here and there that sort of thing. Other than that Bang for the buck it' s an amazing Starter camera with the two lens kit. Now that we' ve gotten the bad things out of the way, Now here' s the good things about it.

My biggest gripe is i can' t tripod mount it and use the remote Photography function and get an actual live view even With a external monitor plugged in via Hdmi the app won' t allow the connection because the camera is in use, Or the app completely overrides what' s on the external monitor and cuts off the feed, There are no actual remotes for this camera other than the smartphone app and it can leave a funny taste in your mouth. The snapbridge app works alright IF you' re there to actually be behind the camera to adjust the settings then use the 'snapbridge remote' Like taking slow shutter low light shots of the moon or night shots and want to reduce any amount of vibration, it' ll definitely do that just fine, Want to take a few shots of yourself with it tripod mounted, Then you' re shooting blind until it 'downloads' the picture you just took, Sometimes the Snapbridge app can be unresponsive. Great Camera UNTIL you want true remote function, Especially with an external monitor.
