MN67Z 20MP / 1080p HD 67X Optical Zoom Wi-Fi Bridge Camera

would have been a decent camera once I got it all set up ( dont bother with minolta app not worth the trouble just get a dongle) a few test shots and a visble spot in upper left quarter. carefully inspected outside snd cleaned with photo lens wipe and it still appears. even more noticeable when in zoom mode. dissapoining as we were using for a special even in a week so requesting a refund. an internal spot can't be fixed.

otherwise imaging from the few test spots were good for price if camera. zooming is a bit instead tripod would be recommended. sunset mode was great. dog mode was good though some blurry shots. photo with spot added to review

size of camera feel of camera were good. great point and shoot. case it comes with is flimsy. SD card never would format used a secondary one I had and it worked. instructions were not good in the wireless setup. that was frustrating. dont use the wireless just get an SD card reader to down load much easier.

only had it for a few hours so unable to comment on printed picture quality, battery life, or video quality. did not try all the modes either.

if you get this camera test out the pictures right away

I just recently purchased this camera. I was looking for a camera to photograph my daughter while posting soccer. I only just started using the camera and am so impressed. I used several preset modes and was able to capture clear action pictures. The zoom is amazing. I absolutely love this camera. I can't wait to use it more. Picture below was taken from about 400 feet away.

This camera really shines if you want to take pictures of items outside some distance away. I got it for taking pictures when I go hiking, backpacking, trips. My other "camera" is a Pixel 7 phone (which produces pictures on par or better then iPhone/Samsung). For quick snap shots of kids, or indoors the Pixel phone works great and in many cases better then this camera, but it can't compete with a big optical zoom lens. If you want a camera that has a big optical zoom without spending a lot of money this camera is for you. I have attached two photos. The 1st photo is from my Pixel Phone of a bird in the yard behind mine. I added a red arrow so you can see how far away this bird is. Except for the arrow these photos are directly from the cameras and are completely unedited. The 2nd photo is from THIS camera zoomed in on the bird. No phone can do that! Even with max digital zoom and/or cropping the Pixel phone just produced a burly blob. With this camera you can see the bird clearly. If this is what you are looking for get this camera. I also used this camera at an air show with some great close ups of planes that where high up. As an outdoor zoom camera it's great, but not any better (or even worse) then a phone for indoor snap shots.

These high optical zoom cameras make photography easy as you don't have to constantly switch lenses. One thing I don't like is the shooting mode dial (see photo). The letters are gray and hard to see. In comparison an Olympus DSLR that I have has white letters on the dial making them easy to see. Hopefully the manufacturer of this camera will see this review.

I love that I can take professional-looking photos even though I have no clue what I'm doing. As long as the thing I'm taking a picture of isn't moving, the pictures are fantastic. I took some amazing pictures of hummingbirds and butterflies. However, the autofocus for moving things stinks. It doesn't focus at all so I just end up with a bunch of blurry photos. I'm thinking about using the video and just selecting a frame for the picture instead to see if that works better. Also, the battery doesn't hold a charge at all. I charge it up, and an hour later, the charge is gone, even if I don't use it. I'm going to try buying a new battery. It has a lot of great settings too. I'll have to sit down and work with it a bit to learn everything, but in the end, I'm very happy with this camera.
