Pros: got this thinking it was going to have a few scratches on the screen or something, maybe was a bit slow. but when i finally got it (fast shipping by the way) it was like a freaking brand new camera. it was very hard to believe they could sell such a fine looking/working camera at such a good price! When i got it i could not put it down for that whole day. i was taking pictures of everything. pictures load very fast compared to my old sony point&shoot camera. very good investment!
Cons: absolutely none!
Other Thoughts: love it! my new best friend 🙂
