Canon 12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera 4X Optical Zoom

I bought this camera for personal (leisure) use. The great things about this camera are that it has 12.1x optical zoom and a powerful matrix. I do not see any deficiencies.

I bought this Camera to replace a old 6.0 Megapixel 12x Optical zoom Sony... The SX20 is / is everything i was looking for! better zoom and all the extra fetures the camera does are amazing! the HD Video is Great too!- love the one touch button for recording vids. the super Macro is very nice too, see link for Super Macro Shot@

I like the camera, large megapixel

The zoom lens is amazing. It is advertised as a 14X optical lens, but with the digital zoom it zooms to 57X with crystal clear photos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Canon Zoom Digital Monocular is so much better than expected. First, I love the small size of the camera. You can slip it into your pocket and take it anywhere. It is so lovely being able to take pictures of just about anything. Do you see something you like far away? It is not a problem with this camera. It has such an incredible zoom capability. You can take close-up pictures of sports games and nature or use it as an everyday traveling camera. It also takes video. I appreciate the Bluetooth connection to your phone. It makes image transfer so easy. With the invention of cameras on smartphones, I never thought I would want to carry a camera again, but now that I have this camera, I have completely changed my mind. My phone’s camera does not even compare to this one. It is in a whole other league.

Had the Canon Powershot 5 megapixel and loved it, but wanted more resolution which I got with the 12.5 megapixel Powershot. Also, appreciate that this camera has image stabilization and is even more compact than the Powershot I used prior and which still works great. Best added features are the image stabilization and the ability to review shots without turning on the whole camera (lens extension, etc.) which saves battery life and makes this even better. As mentioned, this is another wonderfully well thought out Canon camera. And as a user of Canon's analog 1N, their top of the line in analog SLRs, I am convinced from user experience that Canon is the absolute best in this line of business.

I bought this lens to use with a new Canon-EOS Rebel T3i 18.0-Megapixel DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens-EOS Rebel T3i. It has been a good interchange and fits easily on the camera body. The clarity of shots has been just what I expect from Canon.

Using to switch optical signals from 4x sources into 1x input on a Benchmark DAC-1. Works flawlessly. Nice button action on the select front panel control. No clicks of pops with sticking or power. Included remote works well, but it's a little flimsy/generic type (I just use the front panel button and will be programming into a universal remote). Highly recommended! And made in the USA.

I received a free ZOOM Digital Monocular in exchange for a review. I was very impressed with the quality. It's easy to use, light and compact. It has a nice sleek feel to it and easily fits in your pocket so you can take it anywhere you go. I really like the zoom feature. It's a button you push and it has 3 different zoom depths. When you press the button it automatically zooms in and you don't have to wait, it's super cool. I love that it takes videos and pictures. It also comes with an SD card so you can download all your videos and pictures onto your computer. I would highly recommend this product to anyone in the market for a video camera/camera.

The Panasonic HC-VX981 turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Top 2 qualities are ease of use and unequaled image quality, seriously, watching my movies and pictures on a TV screen seems like I am at the movies! Then, as you dwell into what the camera offers you, your horizon keeps expanding, both using the different modes and formats it offers. Stabilization is great, and so is the little light for night scenes. Additionally, the movie shoots in complete darkness, using infra-red. The only feature I would have like to have is a wide-angle around 29mm or lower. The zoom is optical at 20x, (phenomenal), then a hybrid optical/digital at 25x, and a digital going to 1,500x. The camera is light at use, but I recommend a larger battery. It's a 4k camera, with a clean HDMI.
