Excellent camera with great out-of-the-box settings. Easy to use and great pictures my first outing in Alaska.

AWESOME CAMERA THATS EASY TO USE AND EASY TO DOWNLOAD PICTURES TO YOUR COMPUTOR. IT HAS SUPER CLEAR PICTURES AND BRIGHTNESS IS AWESOME. GREAT CAMERA.

I had tried to split the difference between my cell phone camera and my cumbersome 'good' camera... i wanted soething i could lift with one hand, turn on, and take pix also with one hand. I got a sony that should have been ideal but the camera would not save off the raw data and even great pictures looked 'muddled' when I zoomed in. I tried for a few years to love it, hoped for sweet firmware update of my dreams, but nope. I went to Best Buy and picked the cameras up, tried them out, and ultimately settled on this one. I barely had the money for it - budgets being what they are, you know.... but at home, right out of the box, there was the familiar cannon button layout... and I fiddled a bit with the settings... and now - i'm taking pictures again!! To attach to documents, of my family, of my pets and other people's pets... i'm getting excited to start another 40-pic theme collage (20x40, print at walgreens, slip in a frame, and voila, decorate the walls with memories). 5 stars, really? Well, yeah. I decided there was no 'point' (har har) in taking off a star because it isn't quite trim enough to slip flat into my pocket. There's a wrist strap that I can shorten and use a carabiner to hang from a belt loop on those hands-free days. I can fit it in my pocket book. But most of all, MOST of all... 5 stars alone for pics not looking 'muddled' when I zoom in. I havent printed any blowups yet, but I will and I'll update the review after that if I can... I recommend going in to a store (when you are off quarrantine) and holding this in your hands and trying the controls out. I am so glad I did. There are 2 cameras I can upcycle now that i have this one to take their place!

I own a Canon mirrorless but wanted something even more portable. Biggest downside for removable lens cameras is that big zooms are physically large and very expensive. This camera's 40x zoom is incredible. It can even be boosted digitally. I'm now able to get wildlife shots I didn't have the reach for from my other camera. Still small enough to fit in a jeans pocket. I have heard others say the battery life on this isn't great but I have used it off and on all day on one battery with no issue. It takes pretty good video and with the zoom it's even more handy. The only two issues I have with this is you can't take RAW photos and that the 4k is kept hidden in it's own mode instead of just an option with the other video quality. This is a lot of camera for this price. I carry this with me everyday now. I hope Canon decides to keep up with point and shoots because they do have a place in the photography world.

DSLR has been my go to for a few years. But always lugging around is a pain. So heavy. Was searching for GX7 and seen reviews of this, finally came available and bought! And absolutely love it! Especially the ZOOM in such a compact camera! Pictures are my distance and how clear the pic came out in zoom mode. Does a great job for what I look for .

This is a great camera with fantastic zoom. I'm quite new to photography and I think this is a great entry for people that want a camera with a lot of features and great zoom, but need something smaller and simpler.

Great camera with good zoom. Good size that you can carry around easy. Has WiFi so easy to transfer pictures with canon app. Has lot of settings that you can choose and takes great pictures in the auto mode. Have had canon cameras before and never had any problems with any. Of them.

I like it a lot! Wish it was touchscreen and the quality is amazing with good lighting or natural lighting. The best quality photos come with flash. I use the camera to vlog and take photos.

Great camera, easy to use and download photos right to your phone using the app. I like the flash and zoom capabilities.

I’ve owned several Canon PowerShot cameras over the past decade-plus. Canon has perfected many elements of this model over the years with these newer iterations. The optical zoom for bird and other nature photography has been great!

Awesome camera for anyone! Don’t know a ton about photography and this camera has worked great for me. Easy to learn and use, photos turn out well, and I love how it can connect to your phone to transfer photos over quickly and easily.

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.

really great camera!!! i took this camera when i saw luke hemmings and the photo can speak for itself!!! i love it ever so much and it really blew me away with the quality for the photos and videos!! plus the zoom is out of this world!! if you cant get the g7x i would highly recommend getting this one !!! easy to take anywhere with you and can get into venues because its a point and shoot!!! best purchase!!!!

I am pleased with this camera, it takes good pictures with the Auto settings so far. I am still learning and familiarizing with the other features and settings of the camera. The 40x zoom is a great feature on this camera. No need to change lens to get such a powerful zoom. I had a coupon which made it very worth the price. After the pandemic situation improves, this is the camera I will bring along for traveling. Because the camera is a bit heavy, I bought a heavier-duty strap to replace the one that came with the camera. Other than that, I am happy with this camera.

Extremely excellent point and shoot for the price. Takes quality shots, the zoom is amazing, the 4k video is such a plus I'm very happy with this I wanted to start my photography journey with this point and shoot then move up to Dslr, Icle or mirrorless but also wanted a quality in my pocket quick point and shoot I got that and more with this camera I'm very pleased. As a beginner I'm already taking some great shots with this point and shoot.

This camera is absolutely amazing for anyone searching for a lightweight and useful camera. The pop up screen makes it SO much better! It's a must have for me, I love to take selfies and this is just the perfect camera. The buttons are super soft, the screen is HD, the pictures have an excellent quality, and the camera as a whole is not heavy at all! It's kind of a pocket camera, it doesn't take much room and it's super easy to carry everywhere. Also, transferring the pics to ur smartphone is SUPER easy, one click, and its done! Definitely one of the best cameras I've ever had. *Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

I bought this camera for my girlfriend and she is absolutely in love with it. The pictures are so crisp, it’s very easy to work with, and the camera is just beautiful in general. You can also upload pictures just by WiFi and an app.

I'm an electrical engineer might be more critical than the average reviewer. I have the original first generation of this camera SX700HS. This new camere is the 4th generation, a little larger. It takes great pictures but they changed the buttons which I don't like. The first generation buttons were bigger and had higher protection rims around the buttons. Holding the camera trying to press the video record I sometimes trigger menu button and miss the shot. This never happened in the first generation. The screen glass is about 20% larger (right and left side) than the display. They have the real estate to make the screen larger but they keep it at 3". The processor is much faster than the first generation, it can take 10 pictures a second. This video was taken with the camera, the sun as going down https://youtu.be/gqWlZzwN58Y

I love this camera! I am a beginner with taking photos with anything beyond a cell phone camera, and while I get a little confused with advanced settings, this camera is very much "point and shoot", I love it! The zoom is incredible as well.

The zoom on this camera is amazing!! It handles high exposure pretty well. Great for a beginner at a good price. Great for selfies as well.
