Canon PowerShot Zoom review | The Birding Life

[@FollowThomas]

This is something I would take it to my bikepacking tour to see and record birds. I'm gonna look into it. Right now I'm carrying monocular and small camera but this would do both. Thank you for sharing 👍🙂

[@thebirdinglife6329]

That sounds like a great companion on your trip! My only advice would be to keep a power bank handy to make sure you don't run out of battery 👍

@@thebirdinglife6329 I'm always carrying 20000mh Anchor external battery with me on my bike tour to charge my electronics, so that wouldn't be a problem. Thank you for showing this device. I don't need to use it often but time to time I need to find out what's that bird over there. With this I could zoom in and record it instantly. Often birds won't wait till I get my camera out to record, and more convenient too 😂 I'm a birder but my biking videos often lacking birds because it's been too complicated to use two devices in short moment, this device may resolve this problem. Thanks again. Check out my birding and bike touring channel if you are interested. Thanks! 😊

@Follow Thomas will most definitely do so! Biking and birding sounds like a great combination.

I love the idea of it. The image quality just isn't good though. If there was a bigger sensor, I'd love to pick one up to carry everywhere because of the convenience of size.

Друг сердечный, можно ли на видеокамере установить дату и время? Чтобы потом перебросить это видео на диск и было бы видно дата и время

Thanks for a really helpful review.

Glad you enjoyed it Sally!

Out in the field all day, one hour battery life is too short and the battery is not replaceable so no spare. Also the basic camera does not come with a charger . You have to have a USB-C connection for charging . You cannot use a phone charger as power requirement is higher.

Unrelated, but where do you get your spectacles from?

[@thebirdinglife6329]

Haha no worries they are Rayban frames

How long zoom range?

[@thebirdinglife6329]

Hi Parasian, there are three zoom lengths such as 100, 400 and 800mm. As you'll see in the review 800mm zoom length loses quite a bit of quality.

I OWN A BRIDGE CAMERA, TWO MONOCULARS AND A PAIR OF BINOCULARS.. MY ISSUE IS WHEN I USE THE MONOCULARS... EITHER... OR EVEN THE BINOCULARS... BY THE TIME I'VE FOCUSED EVERYTHING THE BIRD HAS WANDERED OFF AND NOW OUT OF FOCUS. CALL ME CACK-HANDED BUT I CAN NEVER REMEMBER WHICH WAY TO TWIST AND TURN THINGS... I GENERALLY TWIST IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SO THIS LOOKS IDEAL. ALSO WITH THE OPTION TO TAKE IMAGES OR VIDEOS OF BIRDS, BOATS, SHIPS, PLANES, TRAINS ETC THIS LOOKS A MUST. PLEASE NOTE I'M NOT SHOUTING... MY EYESIGHT IS ALSO ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS THIS DEVICE LOOKS IDEAL. WHEN YOU LIVE IN A HISTORIC CITY NEAR THE WATER THIS LOOKS PERFECT. THE PRICE? I'VE YET TO COMPARE A STAND ALONE DIGITAL ZOOM MONOCULAR... IF THERE IS SUCH A THING... YEAH THIS LOOKS GREAT FOR DAYS OUT AND IT'S TRUE WHEN TRYING TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING WITH MY PHONE CAMERA ON A SUNNY DAY... FORGET IT... GLARE AND MY OWN REFLECTION ISN'T WHAT I'M LOOKING TO CAPTURE. USEFUL VIDEO... THANX
