    Not bad if you take it for what it is
    Not a bad monocular, it is not a high-quality Digital SLR with a 5000$ lens on the front of it. The image quality is Good, not great, the video is good but not great. It's good for a day at the lake, or to take out Birding. I'm impressed with how fast it turns on. The menus are a little tricky to get used to. My number one complaint is the lack of manual settings. I would like a manual focus most of all. then settings for exposure. But that said it is not too bad so far.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.

    A light and portable device, functions like a miniature spotting scope. Offers a combination of optical (100-400x) and digital (800x) zoom, image stabilization, autofocus, built in camera. But the software is clunky and the quality of the photos is very poor. I have used the device for the past couple weeks on daily walks through a wildlife sanctuary, it works, sort of, but is barely usable. Suggest wait for next generation of this kind of device. Canon can do better than this!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Design has not caught up with concept
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    The Canon Powershot Zoom is a good concept - lightweight, strong zoom, simple to operate. Unfortunately the design has not caught up with concept. There is no continuous zoom - only 100mm, 400mm and 800mm. This makes it difficult to get the desired shot of objects in the in-between distances. And shooting into dark or shadowy areas is almost impossible. The weight of the camera and one handed operation is both a blessing and a curse. The concept is that they make the camera more convenient to carry with you and to grab and shoot. However, even the most novice photographer know that movement is amplified by zoom. At 800mm even the slightest movement becomes extremely noticeable. This camera is so light it is virtually impossible to hold it stable enough with one hand to get a decent photograph at 800mm. And there is no other way to stabilize - no tripod mount. I was specifically looking for a small camera with a powerful zoom to augment my Canon D5. I was so disappointed in the Powershot Zoom I am looking at cameras other than Canon for the first time since I bought my AE1 in 1969. The Powershot Zoom may fill the needs for some photographers, but compare your needs and the camera's abilities very carefully before buying. I did not.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for daylight
    Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    The other reviews have their merit, but for what it is, its a satisfactory solution.
    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.

    As other reviews have noted, yours may be dead on arrival. My sample would not turn on and would not charge. It could also be a vendor issue, in that they are sending out returned defective units as new. Or Canon QA is not up to the job. Regardless a disappointment and a time waster.

    La resolución no es muy buena, necesitas tener el ojo pegado para poder grabar o tomar foto, también puedes usar la app de camera connect pero obviamente esto agota la batería considerablemente, en condiciones de poca luz hay mucho ruido y no cuenta con nada para proteger las lentes tanto del visor como del objetivo, por ese precio una cámara de video normal supera a esta sin duda.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Trop dispendieuse
    Reviewed in Canada on December 3, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    J'utilise plusieurs caméras d'action et celle-ci est facile à transporter dans sa poche. Elle démarre très rapidement contrairement aux autres caméras d'actions. J'apprécie sa fonction zoom qui permet de passer de 100 mm à 400 et à 800, aucune mollette à manipuler : ça n'est pas une caméra photo. Je l'utilise lorsque je vais en forêt pour prendre des scènes subites qui nécessitent une réaction rapide. Pour moi, c'est la seule caméra d'action qui le permette.

    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.

    Viene sin cargador, unicamente con el cable para cargar.
    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.

    the size is perfect, funcation is not as expect, digital zoom is unstable without a tripod, however there is no screw hole to set of tripod, battery performance is unstable.

    Easy to use but the menu sucks
    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.
