Low cost gem
3

Bought one of these cameras in Dec 2013 for £150 ($220) from a major retailer. For the price it's a proverbial cracker. I bought it as my girlfriend was having issues with my Canon DSLR and I wanted something small and light for weekend trips. Really good quality photos in good and low light using the 'kit' 20-50mm lens. The wifi and remote viewer features are very cool but can be a little unpredictable (lost connections etc) so be prepared for a little frustration if you really need these features. The add-on flash is good for typical home interior shots.

Given the price I paid it's one of the best camera deals I had in the last decade. Highly recommended to someone keen to break into the DSLR/bridge camera world with little outlay.
