This camera is easy to use for concert goers! Get it

This camera takes awesome pictures, easy to use and good size, very happy with my purchase.

Love this bundle! This bundle is great since it has the tripod and extra battery pack. The tripod is a small stand up one but it’s very nice!

Knowing I was taking a 3 week trip to Hawaii, I researched Point and Shoot cameras to find one to take with us. This camera received rave reviews. After the newer model came out a couple of months before my trip, I thought about purchasing it but it seemed to get bad reviews about its auto-focus ability and everyone said this older model was better. So, about 10 days before departing on the trip, I ordered this camera bundle from Best Buy. As you will learn later, this was a horrible purchase. Before I review the camera itself, let me start by saying this is the most pathetic tripod I have ever used. I did not take my older tripod because this one was smaller and I assumed it functioned like every other tripod I have used. Boy was I surprised when I tried to attach the camera to the tripod to take a picture in a "vertical" orientation. The swivel head only swivels maybe 45 degrees to the side and therefore you can never use this tripod to take a "vertical" picture. This seems completely stupid. Almost every time I needed a tripod, it was for a vertical shot so I completely regretted not discovering this before I left home. If you never need to take a vertical shot, this tripod is fine but I fail to see the point of making a tripod that isn't able to take a vertical shot. Now on to the review of the camera. Before leaving home, I took a couple of shots with the camera to make sure I could show my husband the basics of using this camera as he would be the primary user of it. The camera worked fine. Once we arrived in Hawaii, we took a couple of pictures that evening before going to bed and once again the camera worked fine. The first full day of our trip was the first day the camera would really get used to take multiple shots in multiple situations. That morning we had booked a tour to take us around to different locations used in the TV show Hawaii 5-0. We had been on the tour for a couple of hours and were in the van riding to the next destination when I heard the camera make a clicking noise. I looked over at the camera in my husband's hands and the lens was retracting itself back into the body of the camera. He showed me the screen and it said "lens error" before the camera went off. He tried turning the camera back on and the same clicking noise and error occurred. We had to finish the tour without the use of this camera. I took the battery out of the camera and after returning to the hotel room we decided to try the camera again. After reading online to try to focus the camera on the floor as you turn it on, I tried this and the camera magically began to work again---for 5 days---and then the error happened again. This time, we were taking a "selfie" using the camera and the clicking noise happened again. I tried taking the battery out of the camera for a while and focusing on the floor again. This time, the camera kept giving the error. Then, I tried turning the camera on and immediately trying to zoom. This allowed the camera to stay on. However, as soon as I tried taking a picture and barely touched the zoom, the same clicking noise and the same lens error occurred. I called Canon technical support and the representative did not seem surprised at all when I told her what had happened. She said the only thing to do was to send the camera back to Canon and they would send me a new camera. She said they do not even fix cameras with this error they just replace them. I explained that I was on a 3 week trip to Hawaii and still had 2 weeks left in the trip and now would have no camera but that didn't matter. I was given no other options. So, for the last 2 weeks of our 3 week trip, this camera became not so affectionately referred to as "the brick". Every now and then I would try "the brick" again to see if I could get it to work but it never worked again on the trip. When we got home from the trip, I tried the camera again and it still did not work. Because of the Christmas season, it took me a few days to get the camera packaged up and sent back to Canon. Just before I packed it up, I tried it one more time. Guess what?! It worked. I tried it several more times for a few days and it continued to work. I called Canon back and explained this to them and they said to go ahead and send it back to them even though it was currently working. I have not received any communication back from them yet but that is because of the New Year's Holidays. I really hope they don't just send me back "the brick". However, no matter what they send me, I will always be afraid that the next shot will be the one that gives me this error. The other thing is, if the camera had not "fixed itself" on the first day of my trip, I was still within my return window at Best Buy and there was a Best Buy location on Oahu where I was. By the time the camera broke again 5 days later, I was on an island that did not have a Best Buy location. I regret not taking it back to Best Buy on Oahu but who wants to spend a valuable day of their vacation dealing with a problem on a very expensive piece of brand new equipment that should have worked out of the box, especially when it is working again? The bottom line is I still don't know what Canon's resolution to this problem will be and even if they replace the camera, I will definitely never take it as my only camera on a trip. I really wish I could just return the camera because I will never have confidence in it after this experience. I had bought this camera based on reviews but also based on the fact that I had a very old Canon Camera that worked great for years. I was loyal to the brand but I will not be loyal to Canon anymore. They have broken my trust. I explained to the first Canon representative that I bought this camera because I didn't just want to use my phone to take pictures on my trip. I wanted to use a real camera. The lesson I learned is that I would have been better off using the money this camera cost to buy one of the newest iPhone models which would have taken excellent pictures and never given me a lens error. It's gotten harder and harder to find "real cameras" since the advent of the camera phone. Perhaps Canon should think about the reason for the decline in sales is because of dependability!!! And, perhaps you should think long and hard before you spend this kind of money on a BRICK!

Glad to see Canon has finally attached a mic port to the G7X Mark III. Sad that I bought the Mark II whiles before the III came out but oh well. Camera is perfectly fine, love using it but the audio is not amazing. Photos are alright, but this is mostly a video-focused camera.

Fhis was a great priced package based off whatvthe camera alone msrp is in stores. The availabilty was great too

This camera is great! I looked at many reviews online to decide which in to purchase and I find myself using it often and learning something new each time I pick it up, whether for creating videos or taking pictures. Peace.Pretite

Very decent camera for the money. Great resolution and much lighter than my DSLR.

Bought this as a present for my brother in law, she love it so much and it work great, highly recommended

Great camera. Excellent quality. My cons will be when zooming it makes too much noise and could be better in windy areas. Audio needs improvement, wind screen is recommended

I have a DSLR camera that’s too bulky to carry all the time whenever we go for vacation... have decided to try this small camera and been very happy with the results... I love this camera!

This camera is everything i wanted! I cant wait to create so much content with it!

If you want a camera for videos, i would go for this one over the m50, the quality is similar and it’s cheaper

Good camera for me seems like it can do a lot with video and still shot.

I am pleased with my purchase. This turned out to be the ideal kit for my classroom poetry project. I have learned so much and I am enjoying all of the aspects and creativity that product continues to provide.

Great camera. I love taling photos with it. Just the right size.
