I don't like the fact that I had to provide my own charger or the fact the cable they give you is a usb-c to usb-c cable. I took it out and of course, I didn't have a USB-C port on my battery back. Simple to remedy but really I feel I should not have to.
Wishes for the next model: I would love a Tripod mount, I would love a manual focus. the 100/400 jump in focal length is okay, makes it simple but might be nice to have a couple other steps for some. I'd love the optics to go a little further out to say maybe the 800 before zoom. An integrated lens cap would be nice but might make it too clumsy. A case or belt holster would be nice too. Oh, and it might be nice to shoot RAW files, the jpg files average about 3mb or less each, I would love more detail but not a deal-breaker as I said you have to accept this for what it is.
It's not for everyone, but if you want a good monocular that lets you take pictures and video then this is decent. I could not find anything better for twice the cost. The biggest thing I dislike is the lack of manual focus but I challenge you to find me a digital monocular that has as good of a camera that has one.
I bought this thinking it was a toy and I might be returning it. However, I was nicely surprised. It's earned a place with me when I do walking in the park to watch birds.

The use case was that someone with a good enough camera of 24-200mm needs a 400/800 zoom. Most of the time the resolution on a 24-200 is detailed enough, but there are those small cases where distances needs to be captures. This PowerShot Zoom is small enough for my front rig or in a pocket. I purchase this with the mentality of using both my 24-200 for the wider shots and the 400/800 for those focused distance shots of animals and objects.
Where it doesn’t do so well is in low light conditions, such as night/ moonlight/ and early morning. There is too much noise that the sensor will put on the photo. Best uses are when the subject is fully illuminated.
I will agree with a few folks that a spare batter might have its place. But USB-C charges devices quickly enough that I may not be much of a problem. The interface takes some getting use to. The phone interface with an IOS device is so far easy and manageable. I use the word manageable because it took more than 5 minutes to figure out rather than being 5 seconds.

Son menu n'est accessible que par le viseur que certains pourraient trouver difficile à utiliser. Pour ma part, étant familier avec les caméras d'action, j'ai trouvé le menu assez explicite et simple à utiliser.
La qualité offerte de 1080 avec 30 ims est le strict minimum aujourd'hui pour une caméra d'action. Les photos sont de qualité acceptable mais lors de la prise de vidéo, comme pour suivre un oiseau en vol, l'image devient floue assez rapidement, seul le sujet principal demeure clair, si vous pouvez le centrer correctement. Étant vidéaste beaucoup plus que photographe, je suis un peu déçu de la qualité vidéo ; j'ai dû me résigner à prendre plus de photos que de vidéos. Elle demande également beaucoup de lumière, elle doit donc être utilisée principalement en extérieur par journée claire.
Comme appareil téléphoto, elle est très bonne. Même son grossissement de 800 mm est très acceptable. La stabilisation d'image est bonne jusqu'à 400 mm et acceptable à 800 mm. La mise au point automatique avec reconnaissance du visage fonctionne bien, mais assurez-vous qu'aucun objet n'interfère entre vous et le sujet : la caméra fera la mise au point sur l'objet le plus près. Par exemple, pour voir un oiseau dans un arbre ou une scène éloignée, la caméra fera la mise au point sur une branche située à l'avant du sujet. Pour avoir une bonne mise au point, le sujet doit se trouver à plus de 2 mètres de vous, ce qui n'est pas un défaut puisque la caméra est destinée à prendre des scènes éloignées.
Son principal défaut demeure son prix. À près de 400$ CA, j'aurais espéré une résolution d'au moins 2,7K avec 60 ims.
En conclusion, j'ai acheté cette caméra après m'être renseigné sur ses fonctionnalités et je connaissais ses limitations à l'avance. Comme c'est la seule caméra connue qui démarre très rapidement et qui permette un grossissement acceptable, j'ai décidé de l'acheter malgré son prix que je considérais trop élevé.
Compré dos cargadores y un cable nuevos.
Acepta la carga de la batería TRES MINUTOS y deja de cargar.
Probé cargarlo con la Lap top y con dos cargadores nuevos y dos cables y a los 3 minutos deja de cargar.
Lo voy a regresar.
Y también viene sin tarjeta de memoria, así que lo recibes y no enciende, vas a comprar cargador, ya con algo de carga no puedes grabar porque no trae tarjeta de memoria y tienes que ir a comprar una.
Wish it showed how many minutes left for video and how many pictures are left on the micro sd card. I guess you have guess(lol) could be a decent bird camera. The 400 mm zoom is the best of the three. 800 mm is ok if you have good light and a denoise filter for pics. Not sure if you can set iso sensitivity.
Decent for beginners who want to get closer to wildlife. A bit pricey for what you get though. But my wife likes it and it is for her.
