User questions & answers

Question:	My digital camera has a delay between pushing the shutter button and the photo actually being snapped. What is the response time of this camera
Answer:	Yes
Question:	does it come with lens cover
Answer:	If you are vloging no because the screen doesn’t flip back for you to see yourself and if you want good sound no because no audio port but it’s good otherwise
Question:	Is this camera good in low light situations
Answer:	It's fine for nature, sunsets and landscapes. It's not good for sports, because it only shoots 3 frames per second doesn't have the best lens for sports. It would do OK for sports outside in full sun, but you might want to get the kit that has the 70-300mm lens. It will do badly at indoor sports events.
Question:	Can you take close up macro shots with this camera
Answer:	yes it comes with both
