Comment

When I opened the package I see this product is used and I felt like returning it back but I need it for my vacation. Lenses is not properly covered with bubble wrap. The worst part is the neck band is also missing some rubber lockers.

I love my new T6 - its everything Ive ever wanted. The body weight is just right to where I can have it dangling around my neck all day and my neck isnt sore. The details it picks up is incredible! My black pug is very difficult to photograph but this camera is able to do it with ease! I love it and highly recommend its a purchase you wont regret!

Perfect intro level DSLR. Plenty of awesome source material out there to get going and get shooting. Tons of instructional videos on YouTube for free so no need to waste money on classes if there is a particular area of skill you want to "focus" on - sorry lol! Awesome quality given the brand and a veritable trove of accessories and lenses to pick from when you want to up your game. Remember its not about the equipment at the end of the day, its all about your own skill and know-how as a photographer. You could have the most expensive, mirrorless, digital, precision wrought camera in all the world that would still take shoddy photos if ones skill level was low. This camera is a perfect entry level to stepping up your game as a serious photog, as a youtube content creator and a plethora of other creative endeavours. If youre new to this type of camera set up the initial learning curve might feel a bit tough but its very adaptive and super easy to navigate once you do. One piece of advice would be this: buy and extra battery so you always have one on charge ready to pop since waiting around for a single rechargeable power pack to be ready will totally wreck your stride and other field testing, it sucks to have to cut short a really good project simply because you ran out of juice.

We bought this for our son, who has had an interest in learning more about photography. He really likes the different options on this camera, as well as the WiFI capability. There are lots of special effects and settings to try out, and since its digital, if it doesnt work, its easy to delete and try again. He thought he wanted an old school 35mm, but now he says hes glad he has a digital instead.

It is a good camera to start in the world of photography. It is not a good camera to start vlogging. The video autofocus is not good.

Im mostly a novice photographer with a specific interest: product photography for wood turnings I make and sell online. I purchased this camera after a couple of other failed attempts and overall, Im pleased. This is a basic camera and lens combo kit and if youre looking for some bells and whistles like an articulated LCD display, this isnt for you. However, the photos are outstanding, it has both a wide range of automatic settings as well as convenient access to more advanced controls if you want to set your own shutter speed, aperture, manual focus and so on. It is comfortable to hold, but I have mine tripod mounted all the time. Build quality is good and comparable to the Sony A3000 and the Nikon that I bought earlier. I do prefer this camera over these others, although I will say that the Nikon LCD interface is very intuitive. Having said that, its basically what all low-end DSLRs are these days: plastic. Thats not a bad thing, and it makes for a nice, lightweight camera if youre out in the field shooting. Likewise, the lens is also plastic and with a plastic mount so if you want something heavier youre better off with a bare camera and a separate lens. The LCD screen on this camera is of decent but not huge size. Still, it is fine for displaying settings. In Live View mode its pretty good in my "studio" but I cant comment on contrast and visibility outdoors. However, it is clear, seems to have a fine resolution and does the job. However, it isnt articulated like some people prefer so that may be a deal-breaker for you. For me, not so much. Software: On-camera is good. It also has a "feature guide" that helps you along if you want to stray from the automatic settings. For example, you can change to aperture priority mode and it guides you through other settings. Very helpful for a newbie like me. Bundled is non-existent. I went to the Canon site and downloaded a set of utilities (this camera is also known as the 1300D). Included are a sort of Lightroom clone, another editor that I havent even loaded, and a tethered shooting utility that I use. A lot. So for some reason Canon doesnt provide any software with the product, and not even a manual. Thats mystifying to me but can all be found online. I got the manual and the utilities above. By the way, Canon is really aggravating about how you download software. Once you find it and choose to download, be prepared to provide your body serial number in order to link to the download. Sheesh! The main thing I wanted was to be able to shoot tethered to my computer, and, since Ive been using Photoshop forever, I also use Lightroom (and also Gimp and UFraw for those of you who know what those are :-) So how is that going? Pretty well. However, you have to have a tethering cable and Canon will sell you a cable for twenty-five bucks, or you can get this: "IFC-500U Compatible USB Cable" right here on Amazon for $8. Shooting tethered is great for me, because as I age, my vision is getting worse. I can now shoot products from my computer and use a 22" monitor as a live view screen and then take the shot without touching the camera (after Ive turned it on). Looking back, had I realized then what I now do, Id have bought the T5 instead. Why? Its $100 cheaper, and really what I got for the difference is a slightly faster processor (dont need it), a better LCD screen (that I dont use), and WiFi (which sucks on this camera. Big time). Why do I say the WiFi sucks? Well because it isnt really compatible with a standard computer OS. You can shoot and dump off to a phone or an iPad but really, not to a computer? So my hope was to fire up the camera, have it seen as another resource on my home network, and move the photos to my 2TB NAS. However, the camera will not work in WiFi if a cable is attached, and vice versa. Which really is rendered moot anyway by the fact that it doesnt work with a PC or a Mac OS. Cmon, Man! How many photographers spend hundreds of dollars on a camera to put photos on their phone? I mean, you can just use your phone for that. Hence the three stars. YMMV

611/19 Update..the card functions great. So far so good! 6/6/19 Update: after researching I am finding this item to be a gray market item. There is a difference between the D and I version. Direct import vs Imported. This camera is a T6 1300D gray market. This is one of the reasons I am having a card issue. Page 5 of the manual indicates "this camera can use UHS 1 cards but since it is not comparable with the UHS 1 standard, reading/writing will be equivalent to SD Speed Class 10 at most." Amazon has an obligation to inform its customer. I am hoping the SanDisk I ordered today will work. Otherwise the camera gets returned :0( 6/5/19 My camera will not format the SD card. Reading reviews online Im trying to figure out if this is an international version and if that matters
