Customer Ratings & Reviews

Buyer Beware of purchasing from Best Buy. I have always loved Best Buy and felt like they had to get things going with high-end electronic products, which is why I come here for them and not a competitor. However, after purchasing this camera and lens set for around $1000 all it arrived at my house today in an oversized box, 4 times the size of the camera box with one piece of flat bubble wrap sitting in the box. The box was crushed, not entirely Best Buy's fault, but a smaller box and suitable packing material would have fixed this. So now I have a $1000 camera and lenses that have banged around in box, with no guarantee it will be working when the recipient of the gift opens them under the tree. SHAME ON YOU, Best Buy, you are a niche brand. If you want that to continue to survive in the electronic world, fix your QC regarding packaging. You are selling expensive electronics, treat them with care, it is all you have going for you. My camera box was not properly packaged and I will most likely return the item and seek an alternative source. The next one from another source could not possibly be shipped worse.

I usually research things to a ridiculous degree before purchasing, and apparently I did not research this one enough. Having been a photographer back in the early 80's, and having used 35mm cameras and lenses, I was basing my needs on that. I did not realize that the fact that this crops the sensor that my historical use of 50mm as a standard doesn't equate to this. You have to multiply the numbers by 1.6 to get the effective focal length. So my buying this so I could get good wide angle shots with the included lenses only showed my ignorance. In order to get what I want, I'm going to have to splurge for a pricey lens. I will, eventually though, since I like the camera despite my goof. The size is perfect for me. Having always used full sized 35mm film cameras in the past, this really does feel light and easy to use comparatively. The one complaint I see people having most often is the grip. They feel it's too small. I didn't have that issue, but I was only using the two lenses that came with it. I did ultimately buy a cage for it which expanded on the grip and there is a huge difference now, so if you're using some serious lenses, there is a cheap option to protect this and offer a lot of expandability for accessorizing as well as the better grip. I'm still just starting to get back into the hobby, so I'm not digging that deeply into all the manual options yet, but there are plenty there for just about any level of photographer. And the auto options for beginners make this an easy transition for people used to nothing more than smart phones. Results are stellar. Crisp even with motion, and while I'm feeling the lack of wide angle results out of the box until I buy a real wide angle lens, everything else is great for the other uses of the lenses. The autofocus is amazing, and if you're doing any kind of product reviews and vlogging, the focus options are absolutely top notch. The pop up flash is convenient for people who are used to phones as well, but the hot shoe offers better options for people who really need to go beyond. There is a lot to like here for anyone interested in stepping up their photography game.

Great beginner friendly camera. Different modes with instructions. Easy to use and stock lenses offers decent quality photos. I use it for sports videography. Battery life is great. I spent 3-5 hours at basketball tournaments and have not experienced issues with overheating, yet. The Auto mode has been super handy when I'm unsure about what settings to use. Overall, the camera is great starter for someone coming into photography.

After doing some research I decided to buy the Canon R50. It’s easy to use and takes very clear, high quality pictures. The kit came with 2 lenses which (as a beginner) gets you a good starting point with the possibility of expanding later. Absolutely love this camera!

This camera is fantastic. I’m a beginning but you wouldn’t know from the photos I’ve taken! Easy to use, lightweight. I’d get the package with 2 lenses since you can’t do too much with the shorter lens alone.

This is my very first mirrorless camera! I cannot say enough about this camera! Very light weight, easy to handle. The images have been clear crisp

Incredible quality and value. I bought this to capture volleyball action shots and it has done a phenomenal job. Regular still shots are very good. Love the depth of field and ability to increase background blur even more. It's very easy to use and packed with features.

Bought for my 17 year old daughter that is tak8ng a photography class in college. It has been a great investment for her. Takes some great photos. It’s a great starter kit. Comes with everything you need except the memory card. Highly recommend. Her class really helped with the improvement of her pictures.

Excellent value. Easy to use out of the box but advanced features will provide room to grow. Lens are generally very good and nice that with an adopter I can still use my older EOS lens.

Purchased for my wife with zero camera experience and turned out to be one of my greatest purchases The image/clarity and zoom quality is very sharp and crisp. I’ve been using it to take action shots from soccer and being able to adjust the shutter speed is an awesome feature. The ease and user friendly features is offers is an added plus. You simply download images to your phone via Bluetooth and you’re done

Exceded my expectations for the size of this camera. Perfect shot every time.

This was recommended by a friend, and I love it because it's compact and lightweight. As a sportsmom, I already carry with snacks and chairs, and the camera doesn't add much weight. The best feature is the 4k video capability. The videos come out great, making me feel like a whole professional!

I’ve been a Nikon man since time began but I decided to change things up a bit and bought this semi pro Canon, what a game changer, two thumbs way up as Siskel and Ebert used to say. Compact, light yet feels substantial in your hands!, perfect videos and one hour record time. My YouTube videos never looked better, thank you Best Buy and Canon.
