Very solidly built

Image noise at higher ISO levels

Long zoom lens. Good color fidelity. Versatile burst mode. Geared toward different skill levels. Decent battery life.

Image quality is just average. Image stabilization doesn't improve images or work well in low light. Electronic viewfinder is very grainy.
