Do I recommend this camera oh yes it is so simple to use even my daughters have took pictures with it and with the great big screen to see what you are taking its just as easy to get what you want in the screen and click I have to say though my lens shutter is now doggy as I dropped my camera on the concrete but it's a good camera as that's all that is wrong I use mine as a camera but you can also use it as web cam this I tried but did not like so a camera is what I will have it takes great pics as you can see below
