No battery pack came and the camera wouldn’t charge it turn on. Clearly a scam

The box includes the WX500 camera, AC adaptor, rechargeable battery pack, micro USB cable, and a wrist strap. I purchased an SDHC memory card and a case separately. I bought the WX500 over the HX90V because I don't think I'll need a pop-up viewfinder or the GPS function. I've heard that everything else is the same, so I might as well get the cheaper option.The camera itself isn't as light as I thought it would be, but it's light enough that I wouldn't mind carrying it everywhere. It's also thicker than I expected, but I'll get used to it. For everything it has to offer, I don't find the thickness or the weight as a big problem.I tried out the movie function, and it's nice. The camera can auto-focus pretty accurately and I love that it doesn't make any sound while focusing. The mic records pretty clearly too. I haven't recorded anything in a noisy environment yet, so I don't know how it'll be like in that situation.You can turn the small wheel on the top through each mode (10 total), and it explains what each setting is for. For example, the "Superior Auto" says "The device beautifully shoots automatically while reducing blurring and noise." It's going to be fun playing with the camera, but even with the descriptions- I'm not really sure when to use to each of the mode. There's not much dramatic difference between each mode. I found the picture effects, under camera settings, to be really fun- especially the partial color effect. It comes out B&W, except the one color that you choose.I was most excited about the screen that flips up. I was actually contemplating between the Sony WX500 and the Samsung NX Mini. I wanted the lenses to be built into the camera (not interchangeable), so I chose the WX500. I'm sure the NX Mini would've been lighter and slimmer, but I feel like the WX500 has more functions to play with. Anyways, the screen flips up well. It has just enough resistance that I can put it at any angle and it'll be stable. What I don't like is that I can't take a picture in selfie mode while looking at the screen because in the photo, it looks like I'm looking up at the sky. But even so, it's very convenient because I can finally position myself and anyone else in the photo. I thought about why there aren't any cameras with a screen that flips down because that would give the same feel as taking selfies on a smartphone. I guess it would look a little weird. I'd make one though, if I could.The 30x zoom is NICE. I took a picture of my mom from really far away, and it looked like I took it right in front of her. I don't know how much I'll use the zoom, but the quality overall is really good.If you're looking for a simple, light camera that has a screen that flips up- I think I would recommend the NX mini.If you're looking for a camera that has a screen that flips up, but also many other functions PLUS 30x zoom- I would recommend the WX500.

Excellent camera, good quality and battery life. Loving for travel camera

The charger for the camera battery was not working so I had to order a charger and batteries for the camera. Since lithium batteries are not able to be sent to Hawaii, I had to have it delivered to my daughter’s place in Las Vegas and I picked it up there. I finally got the camera working.

I've had this for about a year and love it. The zoom is incredible, makes a fantastic travel camera. The panorama mode is easy and intuitive. I use the PlayMemories app occasionally with my android phone to be able to post pics to social media, it connects with NFC and then I can select pics to move via wifi to the phone, pretty slick once I got used to how it works. The flip screen for selfies is nice, and the timer is easy to use for group pictures. The amount of time from hitting the power button to being able to shoot is surprisingly quick for having such a big lens to extend. My most recent trip was 5 days and like 75 pictures each day, the battery finally went down one bar by the end of the trip, I've never been able to actually run the battery down, holds a charge forever.My only gripe is that the camera itself is very slippery to hold onto. I bough some grip tape (search Amazon for GT-5000 Grip Tape) and cut little strips to put on the camera where I usually hold it and that made a world of difference.

I love this camera! The price and quality is amazing! I was looking for something similar to the Canon g7x, but didn't want to pay $600+ for it, so this camera was my next option. I really wanted a camera with a flip up screen, so I'm glad I bought this one. The HD is great, the flip up viewfinder is amazing for vlogging/selfies, and it's easy to use. Only thing I'd have a problem with is the total weight of it... It isn't the lightest camera around. Lol actually, it's quite heavy for such a small thing, but I don't record all day long so it doesn't bother me much! The quality of the camera feels great, very sturdy and well made. I had a Samsung camera before this, and that one just felt so cheap/flimsy. This is a definitely upgrade!

!!!PLEASE READ!!!This camera came in a previously opened box, a scratched screen, and chipping in the paint where it had clearly been dropped. According to listing, the product is new, however this camera came with the screen protector removed and no packaging other than the camera and charger thrown back into the box. This is clearly a scam that I have sadly fallen for. I hope people will see this and not make the same mistake.
