Yes, but it can sometimes be difficult to get steady shots with it. If you're doing long study shoots for school, get a tripod. But it is a nice, easy to use camera. Also your pictures will only blow up to the certain size, which is fairly large, but just make sure it's large enough. ;)

It's a mirrorless digital camera with an APS-C sized sensor. See Gregg's answer. If you like this type of camera, ck out their latest updated model. Mine is simply a beautiful piece of equipment. Outdoor shooting is outstanding. Indoor is OK. Flash is limited. I note that Fuji slashed the price just as the new model came out. Piece of advise/do you homework re: these latest "not point and shoot" but not "DSLR" either. Lenses are superb and color is up to the classic Fuji standard. Good luck.

This Camera is in class kind of the middle of the road for the top end of Canon, BUT! I have had really good quality pictures with this camera. The movies have be very good also. Keep in mind that a camera is just a camera with out the right lens or settings for each shot.But if you don't have a lot of money to spend on a camera then the Canon T4i should work for you well... Go to my site and view my photography work. This will give you and idea on what kind of photography you will be turning out with this camera...

Yes it will probably work nicely for you but remember the resolution isn't quite as high as a digital camera. Digital cameras have much higher resolution however their field of view is probably in adequate for what you needed to do. This unit is very good at taking good resolution pictures of small things. And it's not very expensive.

I would define a "professional camera" as a single lens reflex (SLR) camera. This is not an SLR. The pictures I have made with it, while "good enough", I would not consider professional quality.

hi Holly, honestly this camera was buyed by my mother in law, i highly recomended her to buy another brand, lumix by the way. What i think about nikon is that is a very triky brand, too complicated sometimes, mostly for amateur users (like me), so in that matter, i´m agree on somethings Joseph said about it.finally, to answer your question, in general is not a bad camera but i rather another brand, thats personal, but if i buy any kind and it comes with any issue, i definitly wouldn´t buy it again, even of the same brand

Consider your final use.I think we all need to really carefully consider what 80% of our photo taking will be and then buy the camera that best fits that need. For the other 20% (for me anyway), a compact point and shoot and a DSLR work. So, as the the old 80-20 rule applies, for me the best practical option is the P100.

i not sure what it is your asking, but this Is a great deal on an amazing camera..DO take a class or two about digital cameras, as this one works better when you turn off the "green" light for auto setting..the owners manual is very confusing book, so take classes to learn about camera's basics, then go play with it..Self-teaching is best way to learn anything..

This is a solid camera, but it really does depend on your cost/size/use constraints. You may be better off getting an entry level SLR, but I use this camera for hiking and it is easy to have on hand because of it's weight/size, so I carry it nearly everywhere. After all, the best camera is the one you have with you... If you aren't carrying one, it won't do you any good.

I takes great photos in auto mode out of the box so I would say yes. If you plan to learn photography this camera should serve you well as you move beyond the beginner stage.

Yes, the camera worked great. It was purchased for my Son who enrolled in a photography class.

Absolutely! I bought this camera back 2010 for a photography class I was taking and it worked out great for both automatic and manual shots. The camera will come set to be a point and shoot, but some simple setting changes in the menus will have you in manual mode in no time.

It was recommended by our photography teacher but we haven't tried it yet. Good luck.

I think it's great. It's made me a much better amateur photographer. As far as how current it is, this is the first DSLR I've had any experience with. I have no reference point from which to judge if it's outdate or not.

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.

I would recommend a sony camera. Have had four of them and they are great. I take more than 10,000 photos a year and am sorry I bought a canon. Thought quality would be universal in all cameras. I was wrong.

Hey Sean,I am eager to see your new posts about your camera. Since the prices are dropping dramatically here, I will order one soon myself. On another site, someone said that one of the issues with people... not the camera is that they keep expecting it to do what a DSLR (I think that is right/ I am inexperienced here) does. What are soft images?
