You can get a good idea of how it operates from this site:

https://www.dcresource.com/reviews/ni...pix885-review/

But it sounds as if it is a bit of a nuisance because of the battery. It's not as upscale as what the resident photographic experts have by any means, but it sounds as if it's not a bad starter camera.

Thank you. I'm just not really into photography and it's a hassle to get the thing to work. The charger doesn't work and I'm too lazy to go out and buy a new one.

Why? The springs are one of the reasons i love those levers. I'm happy that i found an all black set on eBay. And now i have the left one to use for when and if i snap this one.

The spring makes it feel like I have the hard springs installed instead of the soft.
