| this is the least expensive camera i could find with a swivel viewfinder. This allows me to shoot at any angle without guessing it. I had an older version of this camera for 6 years. When the old one broke, I bought this camera as a replacement. | |

| I use this product now for volleyball tournaments. It is not to bulky to handle but has long enough zoom to take some good action shots. Have not been able to use it very much but everything has been relatively simple with good results. | |
