Unsatisfactory, upset by this product.

Close-up tests seemed to be of good, average quality. But as it turned out, in addition to the optical 50x, which is not indicated everywhere, there are two more digital magnifiers in the camera, and these buttons are at hand. They increase up to 100x, and even up to 200x, which drastically affects stabilization, especially in video. Everything starts to jump in the frame. The video, even with good sharpness, is simply terrible at any settings. They write about some 58/21 program. Actually there are 8/3 of them. When I uploaded video samples and sent them to support, I thought that they would send me, and went to the store. Although 3 weeks have passed, they took the camera and returned the money. And here comes a letter from Canon: probably still need to check the stabilizer and color reproduction. But I'm already disappointed in him. Set up quickly in the hall, in the dark the camera will not work. The menu settings are inconvenient. Of the 5 words, you can see half of the first (and there is also a submenu). And the goal, as follows from the manual: use this camera to upload photos to social networks messengers. I'm glad I said goodbye, from Canon now only a DSLR.

Pros

The weight. I have been using Nikon for several years now. It is made of good, heavy materials, although it is many times heavier, but there are 4 pieces. battery, for a woman, if you wear and remove for a long time, and even something other than the camera, it is noticeable. Yes, I also took it not for 18-21 thousand, but for a sales promotion from a shop window for 13 thousand. It seemed that there is RAW. that 50x magnification, finally the manual settings necessary for shooting in the dark, everything went into minus. Yes, and supposedly Wi-Fi.

Cons

In reality, Wi-Fi refused to work with a computer, plastic * they warned in the store, garbage, Canon now saves on everything). Not only. As at home, it turned out absolutely everything. Other than FB, the support is absolutely terrible. There were only 14 pages in the book in 2022, download the PDF, and everything is written there in such a way that it’s strange, why transfer everything from a mediocre file to an iPhone and other decent models, if you can buy an iPhone itself or another phone? Wi-Fi was difficult to set up using their smartphone app. And that's it. The cards that were lying do not work, and as it was written, it is until October 2022. No programs. As they wrote: everything is built-in, buy everything yourself, after 6 days they posted the program (found it) and uploaded it to the site where it was supposed to, but the Wi-Fi utility did not work. Well, at least the bootloader, etc. appeared. And then carry 64GB manually, otherwise 128 . Correspondence continued. The worst horrors for me began when I started filming in the theater. And shoot with zoom and stabilization. And here again there was correspondence, it all the time was spent on it (there was almost no shooting, it was necessary to shoot in the evening, during the day, as they write "for a family, beginners" for that kind of money you can buy 3 smartphones for a family with normal cameras.
