Is the 50MP resolution real?

No. The sensor is much smaller, and the 50MP figure comes from software interpolation. Expect detail closer to a basic phone camera in good light.

Does the 16x zoom keep photos sharp?

It is digital zoom, so it crops and enlarges the center of the frame. Photos get noticeably softer and noisier as you zoom in.

Only with the flash and a still subject. The small sensor produces grainy, blurry images indoors and at night without it.

Typically the camera, a wrist strap and a charging cable. A memory card is usually not included, so check before buying.

Name-brand compacts add optical zoom, stabilization and better low-light sensors. This one wins only on simplicity and a low entry point.

Yes. It is light, has few controls and a clear 2.4-inch screen, which makes it a reasonable first camera for children.
