camera
It is a nice size. I love the view window. because it makes it easy to see what you are shooting in high sun light.i like the bump on the right side and the ridge around the lense that keep your fingers from sliding into the shot. You need to use good quality batteries, because it drains the cheap ones really fast.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
