Faye, This is an amazing camera, but small and used recreationally by my husband. I can't honestly answer your question but would suggest finding it locally and checking it out in person first. Denise

NO !! The flash is much too slow. Prior to my purchase of the camera, I read reviews that stated it was slow, but I had no idea they meant this slow. I have waited over 30 seconds for the flash to charge, you don't always have thaat much time to get the "perfect shot".

I wouldn't. I returned this one and currently have the SX280, which I like better. I have not used a camera in a business way so cannot advise you.

No. You want a nikon d series or a canon t3i or higher all preferrably 0ver $800. If you want water resistant like to use in rain. The nikon d series there is a water resistant one. Around $1300. The canon powershot is for someone who wants an amazing home camera but isnt doing pro pictures.

If you are just starting out it will work. But if you become professional you will want to get a more expensive one with more features. As you get comfortable with your photographing you will want to be able to adjust various settings to your taste rather than just using a point and shoot camera.

It depends on what you are looking for. This is an excellent camera, I would recommend the entry level memory until you know what you need after using the device for a while.

I would say yes, because the lenses that you can get for this camera, will help your shooting get to that professional level and at this cheap cost for the camera it was very worth it for me. I do Video so I love it, but my photographer friend is the one who suggested I get it.

My experience is that the camera is good. It doesn't match up to more expensive models in terms of speed of multiple shots. I also had some trouble taking pictures at a graduation in dimmer light while my son-in-law with a more expensive Sony had no problem. It does what I want which is take good pictures of family and even scenery, but it has some limits.

It is not a bad camera .. but for just a little more money you can get the EPL5 which is far better in image quality and function.

This flash should be more than enough for the shooting you'd do with your camera. Take a close look at the feature set ...if you won't use a lot of the features on this flash, you can buy a cheaper one and still be happy.

Its a good camera for novice photographers. If you have experience, there are better buys.

It was a OK camera, however the E500 is a better one. I upgraded my to E510 the semi-professional and still have it and have not changed it for the purposes. However, if you want a beginners SLR then get the E300.

Yes it is very user friendly even for a beginner. I haven't had any problems with this camera. The manual is ready to understand and got should play with it to see all the different settings that it can do.

I recomend to you... Its a good zoom for the beginners photographers!!! The scope is very good and you can complement with the digital zoom.... I hope will be useful.

Yes. Go for it, it is a fantastic camera. I'm a pro photographer, and can truly tell you that is the best PS out there. Best regards.

If you're a beginner or novice, you need to buy a Rebel and spend all your money buying professional grade L series lenses. I would say that since this camera has NO auto mode, this is probably a very bad option for a beginner given the other options. It'll take you 2 - 3 years before you're good enough to even touch the options this camera has to offer. If you're a beginner, I don't know how the hell you're spending $7000 on a camera with no knowledge about how photography works. This isn't like buying a Lamborghini where you can just sit in the seat and show off your car by pressing the gas pedal. Photography is like painting, where buying all the horsehair brushes, oil mixtures, and professional canvas stock doesn't get you anywhere if you can't even make brush strokes properly.

It's OK. If you have an outdoor light with motion-sensing capability that would help with image quality. This is my first system, so I don't have much to compare. So far this has been the best camera. I've purchased 3 different types. Lorex, another off brand, and this one. These are the best so far. The more IR lights a camera has the better night vision. 700TVL or higher recommended for any camera. Good luck!

It's a great starter camera. I bought it for my wife as she had dabbled in photography in the past and wanteed to get back into it. Has been a good camera for us as a hobby and for taking family, senior, wedding portraits, etc.

Depends on what feels and works best for you in your style of image taking. Go to a pro shop and play with one before you buy.

The background is great for those kinds of needs. I cannot tell you if your pictures will turn out of professional quality unless a professional is taking them but a background is a good place to start.
