Q: QuestionIs this camera any good for vlogging or should I look for something else?(1 answer)
A: AnswerI think its excellent for vlogging as long as your not in windy weather because then it takes long for the camera to focus but other than that the camera is awesome I use it to record sports to make highlightsAnswered by Sargent25
- A: AnswerMake sure you have the Canon Camera Connect app on your phone. Make sure both the phone and camera are connected to the same WiFi network. Once this is done, push the WiFi connect button on the camera. It will then search for devices. Once it discovers it, you select it and name it. From that point on it will automatically recognize your phone. It works great once it is connected. However, if your phone goes to sleep while connected, it will disconnect with the camera. The app MUST be open on your phone the whole time you are using it.

- A: AnswerI did not have trouble. Obviously it is not as fast as an SLR camera, but I had no problem in taking shots in the amount of time I desired.
Answered by Todd
- A: AnswerNo issues with my camera. I absolutely love it & I’m covered under Best Buy warranty if something happens. I can take it back & get a new one or put my money towards another camera. Amazon maybe cheaper but u will only get 30 days with them. Hope this helps

A: AnswerYes, that is why I purchased it.Answered by Dave
Q: QuestionCan you enlarge the zoom shots to canvas 8 x 10 or 11 x 14 to display or hang?(1 answer)

Great camera for photos!
This camera is great for beginners and for bringing out to everything. I bring it with me everywhere and get the cutest photos. The camera has a Wi-Fi option so you can download the photos straight to your phone. However, I think if you wanted to use this camera for vlogging, I would recommend choosing something else because I feel that this camera is best for photos. The zoom is outstanding, and I can’t believe how close I can get to certain things.
