Not knowing yet how to use it to it's full advantage, I'm thrilled it came with ALL the extras. Light & the size of a cigarette box, I will carry it in my purse everywhere & all the time till I learn to use every feature it has (and that's quite a lot!). I know I'll enjoy having a camera that got excellent reviews and a Brand name you can trust. Can't wait to learn the "video" feature. That will surely be fun & exciting!

• How did the image on site compare with the actual product? the color is not my kind of red...TOO BAD : ( Looks more like Fuchia and SORRY but I truly HATE the color FUCHIA ....Yuk! the "upside" is I'll be able to find it since it stands out and can't be confused with anthing else I carry.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? can't say because I haven't used it yet. need time to watch the DVD instructions since I'm not a "teck" person.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. I'm sure it's "Top Notch"! was recommended to me by a photographer friend who uses more expensive equipment for his work
• Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes
