This is an excellent camera if you're wanting to take still photos. Great for photography.. however, it you need a camcorder for documenting, movies, or even home videos, do NOT buy this product. It's NOT a camcorder, it's a camera. It says it shoots in 1080, and I believe that, but its autofocus is absolutely terrible. All my videos come out blurry and unwatchable. I am returning this product and upgrading. If you want a camera for video, save your money and spend a couple extra haundred dollars on the XF series.

I believe this camera will do everything I need it to. It is a learning curve for me as I am not savvy enough for this type of technology. However, I am getting it. I do believe the package is a great value. The package arrived one day early and was all there. Thanks, Lewis

Easy Peasy For ANY User To Learn

Easy camera to use. Even for someone like me (60 yrs old and not a technical person) As I learn, I am looking forward to taking more photos of the birds around my home! They are beautiful and I have always wanted to do photos. The price was fantastic for the amount of accessories that we got in the package deal. This was a joint 10 year wedding anniversary present for my husband and I! He loves it too! Sorry I dont have any really good pictures YET to post for this review, I will edit and update as I get better at it!

Good For Beginners, Do Research Before Buying

I got this camera a little bit after my birthday back in October. This camera is amazing, it takes excellent features but it’s got its limitations. I’d recommend doing so DEEP research before purchasing this specific model. The T100 is considered to be a "crippled camera" which is something I wish I would’ve known from the beginning. So it has a funny hot shoe and won’t work with certain speedlites and third party flashes. Also, it doesn’t come with a microphone port so if you get a mic get the adapter so it’ll work. Other than that it’s a pretty great starter camera but I’d definitely like to try other options.

Ignore the 1 star ratings

I have always wanted to get into photography, specifically for the music industry, but always found professional cameras to pricey. After many talks with professionals I finally stopped aiming for the fancy equipment and focusing on just getting started.After hours of searching I chose this package due to good reviews on the camera itself and all the extras that came with it. Its honestly the best bang for my buck right now and great user friendly beginners camera.The ratings on here for 1 star over a lack of an instruction manual are asinine. Yes it would be nice to have a physical instruction manual, but after one google search I was directed to the Canon website with a downloadable instruction manual. Now its saved in the files on my phone for quick easy ... MoreI have always wanted to get into photography, specifically for the music industry, but always found professional cameras to pricey.

Complete with pictures so you can go by the icons.So if you want a good solid beginners camera and are a resourceful person, then this the camera for you!

Incredible Entry-Level Camera!

I've had this camera for about 10 months shooting just for fun and my gosh it's got everything for a beginner expect for one thing. The video is not that good if you looking for decent video, there's no Video AF, only 1920x1080p 30FPS and no automatic video exposure. But it has amazing photography for the price! It's got decent AF, great lens options and decent colors. You'll for sure great the professional look once you learn to take photos :). Would recommend to any beginner not wanting invest too much!

Not worth the money (and I could not return it)

This camera is definitely not worth the money. The pictures are decent, but honestly you can get just as good pictures with the latest smartphone. But what was super frustrating is that I bought this for film making and the camera does NOT auto-focus. You have to manually press the button half-way and 9/10 times by the time it actually focuses the shot you tried to take has gone. If you have $350 to spend on a camera, find a new one cause this ain't it. (Also couldn't return it cause I didn't have the packaging it came with... Not happy)

Very good camera, let me explain why you shouldn't listen to the bad reviews

So, I am just getting into photography. So I am really trying to learn the basics and functions. So when I first got the camera and tried to take pictures and videos it came out poor quality similar to what the bad reviews said. Once I took about a day to learn some of the basics the photos and videos came out just like a $2000 camera or better. A veteran videographer told me once "its not about the camera its about the person" and that is really true. After spending a day picking up extras i learned its really not about the camera, its about the lens, the lighting,angles and the sound. Go on amazon spend you about a good $200 on lighting, mic, and necessary cables (tripod,etc) and these camera is up there with the high end. Seriously though, even go on youtube for ... MoreSo, I am just getting into photography. So I am really trying to learn the basics and functions.

Seriously though, even go on youtube for this camera and there is people that will teach you all the modes and stuff on how to make it look really good. With that being said of course obviosuly if you get a $4,000 dollar camera there will be a difference, im not arguing that. What im arguing the people that saying its poor quality and isnt good. This is a very good camera, excellent honestly, just have to know what you are doing. Keep in mind this is just day 2 for me and im already taking extremely good pictures and videos with a bit of youtube and practice.
