This camera was a big step up for me. I was coming from a Nikon D80 to this, so the learning curve was pretty steep. The online manuals available from Nikon were helpful. The lens I ordered with the camera ended up not being what I needed, so I ordered a second one in order to be able to zoom in closer on subjects. I had trouble getting the original lens on the camera at first, but after talking to Nikon support, was able to get it to rotate on, and haven't had an issue with that since. It takes fantastic photos. They are super crisp and clear. The SnapBridge app that allows you to download the photos to your phone is a nice feature, but it does have an issue with iOS and often times will crash on the first attempt. Subsequent attempts are usually successful. I haven't used all of the features of the camera yet, as I'm still learning, but so far I think it's a great camera and I was able to get it at a great price.
