I love this camera. Among small ones, I think this is the best. Moreover, this is better than cheap DSLR camera.
I am not very beginner so that I know the difference about image sensor size ans things.
I recommend this if you want a good camera small enough your pocket.

Also, this seller is good. Fast delivery.
