The camera is excellent. Pictures are so good everyone thinks I used a DSLR. It shoots easily and offers many "options" for shooting. You do make some compromises by buying from Great Offer Stock. There is no user manual. The camera appears to be made for the Chinese market, though all writing on the camera is in English. The box is all Chinese. So the user manual is taken out I guess. It comes with an extra battery (non-Sony) and a battery charger (non-Sony) along with some other items in a bundle. The battery charger worked the first 2 times, then we went on a 10 day trip to Peru. The batteries were both full, then they ran out by day 7. The battery charger just stopped working. So I used my iPhone for the last 3 days. The pictures tell the story in their quality. Good news, it does come with a Sony camera "charger" that you plug directly into the camera. I left that one at home since I had the battery charger. Oh well! Back home and still love the camera!
