Verdict

One thing that we liked a lot when we built the Canon VIXIA HF G40 Full HD Camcorder review is that the camera comes with an awesome 20x zoom for this kinds of  VIXIA Camcorders, and even though it is still not at the level of other camcorders made by Canon, it is at a great level.

The AF is also good, but not as quick as the HF R800. We think that the AF shouldn’t be the main reason to purchase the HF G40.

Other aspect that we consider positive is that the size, without been excessively big, is substantial enough to get a good handle of the camera.

In low light the performance is remarkable for its price range, and you won’t find many camcorders that gives you this low light images quality for this price. Besides that, the camera displays also extraordinary outcome regarding scenes that are recorded in low contrast situations, showing a softness that makes look the images really attractive after the editing process. Check out the best vlogging camera kit equipment we recommed.

All in all, we think that without been an extraordinary camcorder like the Canon VIXIA HF R800 , the item still represents good value.

Camera Connectivity

The VIXIA HF G4o comes with a Built-in, dual-band (5 GHz/2.4 GHz) Wi-Fi technology that allows sharing HD videos using several methods. You can connect with wireless hotspots, compatible networks, and iOS smartphones using the free Canon Movie Uploader application.  It is also possible to share videos using the internet with the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY# that is an online photo storage service that allows uploading to social networking sites, and finally transferring files to selected FTP servers if you need it.

The camera also is able to be used wirelessly to watch videos stored on the camera’s memory cards, and use your computer or smartphone to browse remotely videos that had been recorded earlier with a remote browse function that not requires a special application.

This WiFi feature also makes possible to manage remotely the camera’s controls like; zoom in different speeds, recording start/stop, focus modes,  and exposure functions.

Manual Controls

Although the manual controls are very good, it is needed to adjust them in the touch screen every time that you do a recording. This feature called custom key and dial, make possible to use functions like the one that adjust the aperture and the shutter speed, the manual exposure that makes that when the manual control is chosen the dial is able to adjust speed, aperture, gain and shutter speed or exposure lock that can be set on or off.

The camera also comes with controls that help to improve the composition, like for example level the marker feature, which enhance the right camcorder level for a more exact framing or the grid marker that gives you a reference grid for the viewfinder. You can choose between gray or white according to the background color of your shot for better viewing contrast.

The manual controls of the Canon VIXIA HF G40 allows to setup the Gain in a range from 0 dB to 24 dB with 1 dB increments, and beyond that, the auto Gain Control Limit permits us to input the maximum gain limit for the sensitivity of the image sensor. The result of this , is that noise and brightness can be setup to achieve a proper balance.

Canon VIXIA HF G40 Full HD Camcorder Zoom

This Canon VIXIA camcorder displays a original 20x HD Video Lens with a 35mm equivalent of 26.8–576mm with a minimum object distance of just 23.6 inches. It reduces flare with the addition of a sophisticated  filter which also avoids other annoying effects that distort the delivery of neat images.

Also the 8 blade Circular Aperture reduces a starburst distortion that is often seen in some camcorders which lack  of circular apertures.

For people that are gifted with a professional touch, the manual focus ring is perfect to achieve accurate control and extra flexibility using the manual focus to set the zoom. Beyond that the power zoom can be applied in constant or variable settings that allow; Fast from 1.9 to 60 seconds, normal from 2.5 to 180 seconds, and Slow from 4.0–285 seconds modes. In addition to that the constant mode displays 16 stages.

Video Recording

This Camcorder from Canon shows excellent AVCHD and MP4 recordings execution, being especially remarkable the 1080/60p recording which captures fast-moving objects neatly. The edges of the moving subjects are rendered with awesome details adding improved tonal gradation and realistic color.  Also with a maximum bit rate of 28 Mbps for AVCHD recording, the camera is able to capture images utilizing the useful MP4 format at up to 35 Mbps as well.

The item also comes with a Native 24p Progressive Mode that can records up to 24 frames per second, for persons that like a more classic cinematographic style.

Beyond that, the dual recording can be used at the same time to record AVCHD format videos to one of the SD card, and in MP4 to the other card.  The AVCHD format is thought to allow watching videos on a high definition television, and also to keep them in Blue-ray discs.

To switch from the SD card that is full to the alternative card, the HF G40 uses “In Relay Recording” to facilitate the use of the feature.

Wide DR Gamma and Highlight Priority Mode

This VIXIA Camcorder shows the Wide DR Gamma mode to record more realistic images that capture what the user is really watching. The mode works suppressing the overexposure in areas that presents excessive illumination. Also the tone degradation is almost nonexistent thanks to the wide dynamic range of 600%.

The highlight priority mode is intended to record realistic and saturated colors and to transmit gradation features as is perceived by the human eye. It also helps to avoid lack of detail in highly illuminated zones limiting mid to high brightness compression of the standard gamma mode. To ensure the optimal use of the effect, the recordings should be captured in Highlight Priority using the high brightness setting.

Buyers Opinion

Buyer 1:

The camera itself shows awesome performance and is a huge improvement from my beginner camera. If it were not for the complicated menu, I would say that the camera is nearly perfect. Even though, I am far from be a professional, I expected to get a nice camera to record family episodes, and that is what I got.

Buyer 2:

I am happy with the VIXIA HF G40 because I was looking for a camcorder from Canon that were not excessively small, like the most of the new models of these kinds o cameras are nowadays. The reason why is, because I have a big hand, and I don’t feel comfortable managing a camera that is too tiny. Being that said, I cannot complain and the grip that I get when using this camera is almost perfect.

Buyer 3:

In my opinion the best of this Camcorder is great image stabilization that can be compared with the same feature of several top of the line video cameras. Also the selectable function buttons works well, and the remote control is a nice addition. The only drawback is that the WiFi is not easy to set up.

Buyer 4:

This VIXIA captures neat images, and the audio is really good. I also think that the dual memory card capability is extremely useful for people like me that like to record long videos, meaning that you will not get interrupted in the middle of a session for lack of storage in your card. Besides, the data can be transferred via the WiFi connectivity, and the necessary software to do that can be downloaded online.

Buyer 5:

If you consider that this camera comes with a 1/2″ sensor, the picture quality is more than acceptable. The low light performance is another interesting outcome when using this Camcorder, and I was positively surprised with the quality of the images. Nevertheless for some people can be kind of noisy,  overall this is a good product. The conclusion is that for this amount of money the item is good value.

Canon VIXIA HF G40 Full HD Camcorder Review Wrap Up

Even though the VIXIA HF G40 was discontinued, it is still possible to get it on Amazon. We think that one of the reasons why Canon is not producing the camera anymore, is because its strange menu display, which is very cumbersome making annoying when recording images. Its a shame, because the machine has several high quality features that are difficult to find in Camcorders in this price range. Anyways we have many reviews of availables Camcorder cameras that suits different flavors and requirements.

Pros

• Easy to carry
• Great optical zoom
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.
• Efficient video capability
• Good features for this price range

Cons

• No dedicated viewfinder

Canon EOS Rebel T5  1200 D Digital SLR Camera Review

Canon has a long tradition of producing some of the best entry-level SLR cameras on the market, combining ease of use and multifunctionality, which made them a hit for those taking the first steps in the world of digital SLRs.

However, recently, entry-level Canon SLR cameras have faced increased competition. This situation is associated, firstly, with an increase in both the quantity and quality of amateur SLR cameras offered by other manufacturers, and secondly, with an increase in the number of compact system cameras offering the user almost the same set of functions, with more compact dimensions cameras.

In general, Canon cameras, thanks to constant innovation, are confidently holding their positions in the top ranking of entry-level DSLRs, and the Canon EOS Rebel T5 seems to be no exception. So, let’s figure out its specific features.

We will show you one of the best models in our Canon EOS Rebel T5 1200 D Digital SLR Camera Review.

Pros

• Beginner camera with many advance features
• Light weigh
• Long battery life
• Good price.
• Easy to use

Cons

• The drawbacks are consequence of the price

Canon EOS R Mirrorless Full Frame Digital Camera Review

The Canon EOS R marks a great change in the high-end Canon cameras. This is a full-frame mirrorless camera designed to sit next to the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. We concluded when we made our Canon EOS R Mirrorless Full Frame Digital Camera Review that this is one of the most recognized DLRs for professionals and amateurs with money to spend.

Unlike the EOS M5, a more affordable model without a mirror, it looks and feels like a traditional Canon DSLR camera. And thanks to the quality of today’s best electronic viewfinders, there is no problem in the quality of the shooting experience.

It is an obvious choice for Canon fans who already have a stack of lenses that they can use, with the help of the adapter that is often included.

Pros
The Canon EOS R is a smaller and lighter camera than Canon’s most powerful SLRs, which the addition to the adapters allows you to take full advantage of the wide range of Canon optics and, we do not forget, it is a very attractive novelty within the products that this manufacturer usually offers.
The EOS R is a very appropriate camera for travel photography, for those who like to capture both, landscapes and architecture, who want a light but very complete camera, with the security that it is sealed and safe, good video options, connectivity, and good for taking portraits because the great performance of the AF and its Dual Pixel system.

Cons
It is somewhat weaker in wild nature photography, action or sports due to lack of speed.

Verdict

The Canon EOS R has convinced us. We cannot deny it even if all is not virtues. The price you have to pay to enjoy it forces you to weigh each aspect thoroughly. Even more  if you have to add the lenses.
The first question that we had was about the size. Although the mirrorless cameras provide more and more advantages, the initial one referred to the reduction in size and weight something that in the case at hand is not so striking.
It is true that if we compare this EOS R with a last generation 5D our backpack is reduced, but not in excess. On the other hand, the laws of optics rule; We know that a quality lens is large and heavy, but to travel light with the EOS R we would appreciate something small in size.
Although these inconveniences can be minimized from the moment we decide to opt for a camera with a “full format” sensor, especially if we prioritize quality over other factors. Much more have bothered us the absence of the joystick and the double card slot. Perhaps also minor inconveniences, especially for customers who come from other models that already lack these features.

Design Of The Camera

Some time ago, the majority of the mirrorless cameras were distinguished from DSLRs.  Sony A series clan, Canon M models, or FujiFilm X series models had thinner bodies and grips than traditional DSLRs.
It makes sense since mirrorless cameras are designed to be smaller and more portable. They are the type of camera that can be taken on vacation or for a walk with the family, where riding a shot on a tripod for half an hour would not suit your fellow travelers.
However, it is immediately clear that making the EOS R as small as possible was not a priority in the list of design priorities. This is also backed by their initial lenses.
The Canon EOS R looks a lot like a DSLR. It is smaller than the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, more similar to the Canon APS-C sensor models.
The portability of the lenses may not be very good, but this is because Canon clearly wants the EOS R to be attractive to its long-time fans and semi-professional users and some of its mirrorless APS-C models to date have not done it so far.
The ‘classic’ sensitivity of the Canon EOS R comes with a print of pure quality. You may have ende up with some muscle pain in your forearms after a while, but this camera is a pleasure to use.
The thick configuration dials that rest on the thumb and forefinger offer more intuitive manual control than most mirrorless cameras. And although the grip is not as ergonomic as my favorites, it offers a very safe and controlled feeling.
A captive slider is located next to the EVF, on the back. This is a programmable control that you need to assign manually. It is useful for access while using the viewfinder, but I admit that I have not found an unmissable use for it in my own shooting.

Video Tutorial: How To Use The Canon EOS R Frame Digital Camera

Image Quality

The Canon EOS R incorporates a “full format” CMOS sensor (24 × 36 mm) that offers a resolution of 30.3 megapixels with a built-in low pass filter.
It is important to note, however, that the possibility of correcting diffraction and digitally optimizing the objective is added to the usual corrections in other Canon models. Probably lovers of pure optics see it as a step back in the search for this integrity but, like it or not, trends are on this path and, ultimately, the resulting  will benefit the users.
This task and the rest of the image processing is carried out by the DIGIC 8, that was released by the EOS M 50 at the beginning of this 2018. Thanks to it, it is possible, among other functions, to achieve a maximum native sensitivity of ISO 40,000 with very good results favorable signal to noise ratio, at least in favorable light conditions. The ISO value range can be extended from IE 50 to IE 102,400. As you can guess, this level can only be used if necessary, but there is the possibility.

Canon EOS R Full Frame Camera AF

The autofocus system is one of the strengths in this model. In their presentation they boasted the fact of having up to 5,655  autofocus points, a huge figure, but we found it more interesting to have the improved Dual Pixel AF system, which we have seen so well in previous models.

In the EOS R it is improved and is the great architect of the good performance offered by the automatic autofocus system. Remember that this system covers almost 90 percent of the horizontal area of ​​the sensor and 100 percent of the vertical area, although it depends on the lens that we are using. However, with the new lenses  through the adapter, coverage will remain excellent in a camera with a full frame sensor.

In practice, we have found a good performance in different types of scenes, even in action with the follow-up approach. It does not seem the fastest, but it is not far behind. Where it is appreciated that it is on a very high step is when we have low light in the scene. That’s where other systems begin to lower their performance and speed, but this Canon EOS R excels. It is really effective, both indoors and outdoors when there is very little light, with a very high success rate and being highly effective.

Bluetooth And connectivity

Canon has also included the full range of wireless features such as WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth to send images directly to the computer using the latest version of EOS Utility or to the phone with the Camera Connect application. They also allow you to remotely control the shutter using your phone or tablet and also send images directly to some wireless printers.
The first connection is quite cumbersome but once it is achieved, the following connections are made quickly and without problems, especially with the phone. The same connection allows you to upload images directly to the cloud.

Video Performance

The Canon EOS R should be a great compact system camera for video and it also has most of the required features.

You can connect an external microphone to capture better sound than the built-in one. The capture reaches a resolution of up to 4K, 30 frames per second or 1080p, 60 frames. There is also a slow motion of 100 fps, although it is only available with a resolution of 720p.

The EOS R can emit uncompressed 4: 2: 2 material via HDMI, and the Canon Log mode offers a flat color profile to maintain maximum dynamic range for a more effective classification.

It has all the good parts, except two important elements. The lack of stabilization inside the body is again important in this case, as in the case of frames. There are other similar cameras that can shoot at 4K, and its body is stabilized.

The EOS R is also cut in the frame during 4K capture. When still photos are taken, you have the option of a fairly wide angle view with the 24-105mm lens. Change to 4K and, zap, it’s gone.

Both are reminders that the EOS R is largely a first-generation Canon full-frame CSC.

Canon EOS R Mirrorless Full Frame Firmware Update

Q&A

Question 1: How does this camera compare with the 80D?

Answer: Much better than the 80D. Images are lively. The dynamic range is great, also has digital IS in video Plus 3 custom shooting modes, one more than the 80 D. The sensor is very similar to the one of the 5D, but comes with an updated DIGIC8 processor. The body is smaller but sturdy and sealed against the weather inclemency. The size is about the same of the Rebels. Auto focus accuracy is the highlight of this item. For most users, is fast enough (5 fps with continuous tracking) but if you are spending a lot of time shooting sports or birds is not the fastest.

Question 2: How fast is that camera?

Answer: This camera is not intended to be used in shootings of sport or wildlife. The firmware update and the  1.4 on 09/26/19, make that the performance further improve. The camera can shot 5 fps.

Question 3: Does the battery work with the DSLR charger?

Answer: The charger that the battery utilizes is the Canon LC-E6, which is exactly the same model that is used by the Canon 7D, 5D, 80D, and so on.

The battery model is the LP-E6N, which is only different from the LP-E6 (supplied with the above mentioned Canon bodies) in that the LP-E6N can be charged in camera with a proper adapter.

Your charger will be compatible if it shows the aforementioned model numbers. The exceptions are the Rebels which use smaller battery and charger.

Question 4: Will the lens of the canon Rebel 3Ti fit?

Answer: Every EF and EF-S mounts lenses that you use with the Rebel T3i will fit on the EOS R, but you should use a lens mount adapter. Also note that if your lenses are EF-S (crop sensor) then the EOS R will automatically detect this, and crop the sensor image accordingly. Otherwise you would get dark corners, due to the full frame sensor being intended for a larger image than the EF-S lens are designed for.

Final Thoughts of The  Canon EOS R Mirrorless Full Frame Digital Camera Review

As a companion to a DSLR without a full-frame mirror, the EOS R is a great success. It has enough of the same spirit and character as Canon’s most popular DSLRs with at least some reduced volume.

However, the additional years Sony has had in the development of its rivals do prove it. The 4K cropped view of the EOS R is limited and the lack of stabilization inside the body will be an obstacle for those interested primarily in hand shooting. It also looks more like a miniature version of the Canon EOS 6D Mark II (which is rather a beginner’s entry in the full frame) than the more advanced EOS 5D series.

However, there are many things you might like, including good grip, a fantastic electronic viewfinder (the best of any Canon camera) and a complete autofocus system.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Review

Our Canon EOS 6D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Review has convinced us that the camera is for more sophisticated and demanding users, who miss the times when the SLRs were the most prestigious cameras in the world of photography. The Canon 6D Mark II is not going to make the company recover the space that the smartphones have stolen, but surely is going to make happy many people that are really passionate for photography.

On the other hand you can see the hard and good job that Canon develops in products such as this, improving on such important elements as megapixels, ISO sensitivity and shot speed.

Pros

It works well in all situations and its sturdy construction materials, excellent resolution,  and great portability makes it a really good value for the money.The very precise autofocus and the continuous shooting of 6.5 fps make it a nice camera even for action shots,  with a RAW buffer limit that is good enough for this kinds of products.

Compared to cameras of other brands, (which in Liveview uses contrast detection), the Canon Dual Pixel is simply unbeatable, in video and also in photo mode.

If you are accustomed to another autofocus system, you will notice instantly its greater speed and accuracy, especially in low light situations and moving objects.

Another highlight is the constructive quality of this camera and the effort that Canon ha made to protect the sensitive parts of it, that is, those most exposed to dust and moisture.

Cons
Poor dynamic range

Verdict

When we finished the Canon EOS 6D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Review, we remained with the sensation that the camera is a solvent camera, well built, with a new design that really improves in all aspects to its predecessor. Beyond that, we felt that in comparison to other similar models available in the market, the EOS 6D Mark II has nothing to envy. Even so, the camera is an excellent option for someone who has a Canon APS-C body with a full-frame sensor and some lenses. The product also fits very well for people that want to start in photography with a good camera.

What comes in The Box

• EOS 6D Mark II Body
• Battery Charger LC-E6
• Battery Pack LP-E6N
• Eyecup Wide Neck Strap EW-EOS6DMKII

Design Of The Camera

We were not expecting many variations in terms of aesthetics, but the surprise came with the screen, which completely changed the design of the former model, and the way that the image looks.

In other aspects the Canon 6D Mark II didn’t change too much compare with the 5D.From the right you can see the section that protects the slot for the SD card and on the left that of the USB and  mini HDMI connections.

We don’t see any modifications in the design of the layout of the grip and buttons beyond the subtle lines that update a little the aspect of the camera, but users of the previous model will get used to it in no time.

The Canon 6D Mark II supports E-TTL II with Speedlites EX series flashes, and does not have a retractable flash, and the good news is that the product give us the alternative of using several models wireless flashes.

Canon EOS 6D  Digital SLR Camera Performance

Considering that this camera, according to Canon, is not a professional one and the emphasis is to attract a keen audience, we should not ask for too many sophisticated features. Canon surely had to face criticism due that the high expectations that the quality of the 5D model have created.

We found the level of dynamic range of the EOS 6D Mark II somewhat disconcerting, although we are accustomed to more than acceptable steps in APS-C models, this model gave us the feeling of not getting good results in this regard. Unfortunately, despite having updated our editing programs to do some proof about it, it is still too early to realize the performance of the raw.

Video Tutorial-How To Use The EOS6D Digital SLR Camera

Video Performance

The video function is not the strongest point of the Canon EOS 6D Mark II. In this camera, as always when we talk about Canon, the video level of the images is excellent, and certainly the Dual Pixel AF system is also very useful at this time, allowing subjects to easily be followed. However, one of the disadvantages is the lack of the 4k format, and the other is that although it comes with an internal microphone and the possibility of external connection, the connection of headphones is not possible.

Live View And Viewfinder of the EOS6D Mark II

Connectivity And Bluetooth

In this model Canon has added to the WiFi connection and the integrated GPS that the previous model already had, the new EOS 6D Mark II Bluetooth and NFC connections that will facilitate pairing and keep the connection active with mobile devices without overusing the battery.

Canon EOS6D Mark II  Autofocus

The focus points in this new model are one of the elements that have been most updated, and for example the viewfinder has 45 AF cross-type AF points with targets f / 5.6. up to f / 8 only 27 of the 45 points work, and only 9 with a central cross.
Its combination with the Dual Pixel AF of Canon give a fast and precise result,although at times when the light decreases it is preferable to switch to automatic mode.
On the LCD (Liveview) the camera has a maximum of 63 AF points that are managed through the DUAL PIXEL system.
On the screen and in the viewer we can select the area and the points we want to use. We will have to do it with the selection buttons ,since in this model as in the previous design it does not include wheels or joysticks.

Q&A

Question 1: How is the image stabilization system in this Canon model?

Answer: Alike to all Canon camera bodies. If you have a lens with IS, then it works exactly the same.

Question 2: Does a Rebel lens work on the EOS 6D Mark ll?

Answer: The Canon 6D Mark ll is a full frame camera. It is designed for crop sensor cameras.  EF lenses will fit both Crop and Full Frame cameras.

Question 3: What is the highest the aperture can go on the STM lens?

Answer: The 24-105mm STM has a variable aperture of F3.5-5.6 at its widest.

Question 4: Does the Canon Speedlite 420ex will work OK with this camera?

Answer: Yes. All Canon type-a bodies will work with all EX type flashes.

Buyers Opinion

Opinion 1:

I purchased a Canon 6D body a couple of years ago to backup my Canon 5D Mark III body. It was a purchase that I made to use it in case that my primary camera has a problem while covering an event. Eventually I started to take it with me on holidays, trips, and other kinds of happenings. Using the less expensive camera for private activities in life just seemed more logic. I wondered why take the risk with my 5D Mark III when I could bring the cheaper Canon 6D?

Later I realize that the image quality of the 6d was awesome, dynamic range was acceptable, and ISO performance was not so different than the 5D Mark III. So I decided to change my old camera body for an extra EOS 6D Mark ll, and as a result I have some cash left and I am happy with my new product.

Opinion 2:

Talking with friends I used to ask them if it really worth to upgrade my photographic equipment. At last I decided to buy the EOS 6D, and now I am absolutely sure that was the right decision. My new camera has the articulating screen that is a game changer and the low light capabilities are absolutely great.  I would 100% recommend it. The more I use it, the more I love it.

Opinion 3:

I’ve had it for about a week, and I can tell you right now that I absolutely love it. The Dynamic range isn’t an issue for me. Anyways, I generally shoot nightlife with my old camera, but I didn’t like it so much when doing day shoots or photos. Then I discover the 6D Mark ii and was in love with it from the beginning. Even in hard low light situations worked well. The ability to switch in between photos and video without having to adjust settings is one of the main reasons why I love it, and then their skin tones are out of the world. 5 stars for this great camera.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Review Conclusion

We think that this model of Canon tries to compete with mirrorless cameras, and if that is the objective, we believe are on the right track. It is a very balanced camera, although it lacks the versatility that gives you a nice video capability due to non existence  of 4K.  Another issue is that although the interface is the same as the rest of the models, a user who is not accustomed to the Canon menus can get disoriented when using the interval meter by wanting to deactivate the focus priority that prevents shooting if there is no focus or when wanting to use the tracking of an object with the focus.

SLR lovers have an exciting camera in this model that provides crisp, high-quality images. It is not a frustrating  camera that without professional pretensions will match the expectations of enthusiastic photographers who seek more quality than the APS-C.

Canon Powershot SX530 16.0 Megapixel HS Digital Camera Review

Canon has improved its spectrum of PowerShot cameras with new models, headed by the Canon PowerShot SX530 HS. We are facing a compact camera in which the zoom is the highlight. It has a lens equivalent to 24-1000 mm, which translates into a 50x optical zoom and can be raised to 100x using the ZoomPlus mode. The Canon PowerShot SX530 HS features a 16-megapixel sensor with DIGIC 4+ processor, three-inch LCD screen, integrated high-power flash and WiFi connectivity. It is a camera for the amateur looking for a versatile item, which allows him to take photos in any situation and especially at any distance. It is the perfect addition to your vlogging camera kit.

Pros
One of the feature that makes the SX530 such a goof value, is the zoom capability that when comparing it with the price that you have to pay for any SLR that have similar zoom power appears like a great deal. Other plus that the camera shows are the shutter adjustments and manual aperture which again, doesn’t have anything to envy to the SLR cameras.

Additional and more obvious positives, are the light weigh and portability that the camera is recognized for , and without a doubt is one of the reasons why the product is so popular.

The camera displays an excellent balance between quality features an simplicity,and even thought the item is not intended to be used by professional photographers, the camera will be awesome for amateur  persons that like to grab outstanding images.

Cons
The machine cannot use RAW format, and doesn’t comes with the ability to connect a number of external tools.
