This camera works good, it's great for blog post and quick video shoots. The battery doesn't last long enough to record longer than a 30 minute video, but it can be charged while recording so using an external battery pack to charge and record is a great feature.
The 16x zoom lens is a bit gimmicky and you can get similar zoom without the lens. The only difference is you can adjust clarity with the lens as opposed to not being able to without it. Regardless of the lens, I would recommend thos for those looking to do a daily video log or blog post
