Love it, but . . .

This is my go-to camera for daily walks through the woods with my dogs -- mainly because it's lighter than my Canon DSLR. I love the long zoom, and use it almost as often as binoculars as for taking photos. The quality is good enough for social media, but about the largest you can print is probably 8x10; if zoomed out totally, only 5x7. The prints look more like a painting than a photo because of the rather poor quality. If you're taking photos to print out and/or sell, this is not the camera you want. If you're just shooting for fun, or if you're only going to post them on social media, this IS the one you want!
