    I use this camera for my youtube channel. I mainly do guitar and music videos and it works perfectly. It covers more range with on the lens than my old 200D and the colors on the camera are awesome. It is expensive but it is worth it.

    Canon is the brand you want when you need to get into photography! There is none like it and it can take the best pictures and videos. I recommend it high quality with lots of options! To make the full package go through Best Buy since they will offer the best customer service and exchange policies!

    Image quality is good, not excellent. User interface leaves a lot to be desired. 12 years since the T3i, nothing much seems to be improved for user ease of use. The menu and individual settings are hidden and hard to find. Only solace is that with the canon adapter, I can use all my old EF lenses. Not so happy with the build quality as well.

    Amazing all around camera. I mainly use it to make YouTube videos, and you simply can’t ask for a better camera. Canons menu system is very simplistic and easy to use. This camera has all the specs of much higher dollar cameras. The only things it’s lacking is weather sealing and ibis. Although ibis, in my opinion, doesn’t help all that much anyway.

    I acquired this camera a few weeks ago, and it has proven to be a truly formidable tool — effortlessly wielded and conveniently portable. The main significant drawback, both for my children and me thus far, is its limited battery life. However, as the adage goes, every challenge comes with a straightforward solution.

    Amazing, absolutely amazing! For this camera to be so compact it’s mind blowing how many features are packed in and how long the battery can last on a single charge with moderate/ heavy use!

    Very unfortunately faulty

    I used to buy all of my products from Best Buy and have never had an issue with customer service historically. I even had a Best Buy credit card with total tech membership. I recently bought a camera online that ended up having a terrible battery life (not as advertised) and had overheating issues. I went to 2 different locations to try to return my camera (within the return window) due to the issues I was having with the camera. The first associate was blaming me for not “doing enough research on my product and that these cameras occasionally have these issues”. Nowhere did I see that in my research on the product as an issue which is why I purchased it in the first place. They told me I needed to be better informed on my purchase in the future and that they were unwilling to refund me my money without a 15% restocking fee. This is a relatively new return policy and it pretty much is impossible to get your money back after completing a purchase EVEN WHEN A PRODUCT IS FAULTY. Nowhere was is listed on my purchase receipt (even in fine print) that this was their return policy. I found it later on the Best Buy website. The unfortunate thing is that Best Buy has to be the ones to deem it faulty and they don’t spend much time actually diagnosing the issues. They just want their money. I won’t be shopping with Best Buy anymore. I have gotten appliances, cameras, laptops, all of my gaming devices, etc. I’m cancelling my credit card as well. I’m not going to shop with a company that won’t listen to me as a customer or even try find a middle ground as far as a solution. I even tried to offer an exchange and apparently that even warrants a 15% restock fee. Completely unreasonable and I can’t stomach spending that kind of money on a lemon again.

    It’s been 4 months, i did not see any bugs in it. Best for people from complete beginner to advanced level. But as it is mirrorless you can. Should Carry extra battery if you need more than 300 pics

    This has been an amazing upgrade from my last camera. I film content and it has helped me take great footage and shots. There are feature that I’m working with and I’m so glad that I overextended myself, but worth the risk. I have been exciting learning all this camera can do to help me grow my business! You won’t disappointed!

    Really great camera for people wanting to start to get into the mirror less side of photography. The lens are a little on the expensive side but I personally love this camera and it does more than what I need it to do for my busniess.
