Canon 5X Optical Zoom Digital Camera Price

It is very small. Only used it once so far. Was amazed at how powerful the optical zoom is. Only camera in this price range that has external microphone input.

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.

One of the only 5x you can find.

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.

This inexpensive, entry-level DSLR camera, with 18-55 mm lens, represents excellent quality in a camera that has roughly 90% of the capabilities of Canon's most expensive digital cameras at a fraction of their cost. Canon -- for years the world-wide leader in digital-imaging sales -- offers this camera without some of the bells and whistles of the more costly models for a very reasonable price. For an entry-level camera or a basic camera for all-around purposes, this Canon T100 Rebel camera is hard to beat, and the reasonable price is simply a bargain! Canon's renowned quality and durability are built into this camera as well; only the non-essential features of some of the higher-end Canon cameras are absent! Well done!

I find the optical quality quite outstanding for the price. I did a shootout with my 50/1.8 AIS manual focus nikkor (which I used to find extremely sharp in the film days). This lens had similar sharpness. Note that this lens was practically wide open at f5.6 whereas the MF nikkor was in its sweet spot at f5.6. If you throw in an excellent zoom range and VR (which improves handholding by a couple stops), and this is really very convenient. I compared with the 18-200 zoom, but this really handles much better on the smaller nikon bodies like the d5100. I have heard that the plastic mount on the lens is fragile; keeping my finger crossed. I got the Grey version of this lens; seems fine. I'm happy to save $100.

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 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.
