Interesting video, thanks. I've had this camera for only a few days now, and bearing in mind every new camera I get is the 'best ever' (!), I think this little Canon has some outstanding features, namely: 1. A pretty amazing EVF for what is a small sensor bridge camera, especially compared to this type of camera a few years ago. Perhaps I haven't been keeping up. 2. A lovely light body with perfect size grip, for my hand anyway. Better grip than on more expensive DSLRs. 3. A quite brilliant implementation of exposure compensation on a one control dial camera; once selected exposure compensation stays on until you turn it off, meaning it is a single dial procedure. Unlike Canon's more expensive DSLRs where you have to press the EC button at the same time as turning the control dial which is much more fiddly. 4. Finally I can upload its photos wirelessly to my computer using Canon's Image Transfer Utility software! 5. Excellent ergonomics regarding its buttons and especially the two separate zoom controls. Now to take some decent pictures...

Finally, a review that was mainly positive! and I think it’s because you made a point of saying what type of photographer this camera would work best for. I’ve watched 6 or 7 other reviews of this particular camera and they all make a blanket statement that it is lousy overall, and prospective buyers hear that and walk away with the feeling of “Oh it sucks”. I’m totally an amateur, but even I know at least half of the reason why photos come out great (or not) is due to the photographer’s skill level. I thoroughly enjoyed your review btw! I have this camera actually - got it two days ago.

I like wildlife photography and if you do to then this is a nice camera to have. Call it a staters camera. I don’t call it a beginners for me I just bought it that year to see what it can do.

I hate touchscreens on cameras. It's far too easy to accidentally touch some part of the screen and end up changing some settings, which can make you completely miss all of the action. It's particularly bad when you have to spend a minute or so trying to figure out exactly what it was that you accidentally touched so that you can fix it.

I find that's a problem with small cameras like the M50. But I definitely prefer the touch screen as it's user friendly and the changes are immediately visible on the screen. Adjusting focal point for example is quicker.

The easiest way is to take the photo from a distance at a high zoom. The further away you are, the more out of focus the background becomes. The opposite can also work if the background is far behind the subject of your photo, then you take the photo from close up instead. You can try aperture priority (Av) as well. You may have to play with that a bit to get a feel for it.

@TravelGigolo4 жыл бұрын
I have no experience with the Redmi Note 7, however a cellphone camera and a dedicated super zoon camera have very different functionality. Firstly, I'm not aware of any significant optical zoom capability on any smartphone, and second the lens set up is very different as well. Smartphone camera technology has come a long way, but I can't see that it would meet the capability of 65x optical zoom. In other respects such as close up and landscape photos you may find that the smartphone produces more desirable image quality. Generally wide-angle is where the smartphone may be better. The SX70 fills a set of needs outside the smartphone's capability. Smartphones now have really good slow motion capabilities (I have an S9, soon to upgrade 😉), the camera is not as good in that respect but zoom capability can't be matched.

Both pretty do much good for amazing photos just remember this. Canon don't have touch focus but autofocus, as the phone does has. While recording canon sx70 can focus good and auto itself when detecting a blur but touch screen is faster to focus on the subject you want. Canon sx60 still has f3.4 that aperture depth of field isn't really great to blurry out picture, kind of a embarrassed for pro or average photographer. Your phone is f2.0 does a great job and my motorola one action can go lower to 1.80 that alot better. You can find better camera with better feature specs. My phone show a bit clearer noise level then my canon sx60 same quality as sx70 but still show some noise just clearer then canon sx60 iso100. Your phone can record slow mo at 120fps with 720p, yes canon sx70 has slow mo but it's terrible the slow mo is fine just you won't able to record in hd but in 640/240p only. Only thing you missing is that 4k but do you need that? It's ok for me to have 4k just to feel like I'm not missing big size haha. I tend to record on 1080p/60 or 30. I still want that 4k yes my phone has that feature only 30fps. Oh one more thing over zooming is to overrated, cause they arent the same distance as bincoular and telescope at the same number, my 10x bincoular can see the moon crater larger closer then my sx60 at 10x.

Hi there, not sure what you mean exactly. If you are talking about bokeh then you can do this via the manual settings. Alternatively if you are not comfortable with manual settings then take the picture at a high zoom such that the subject is in focus and the lack of depth at high zoom will blur the background. Hope that answers your question.

Shallow depth of field. This aloud to put your picture to perspective. It's not the best manual control but it works fine. Not good blur too and no sir I know much about cameras.

For me, those are the main differences on a practical level although there are various other technical improvements. Would I upgrade from an SX50 to an SX70 because of the above. Honestly no. I would not spend the money buying the new camera to replace a perfectly fine SX50 if it's only for those reasons above. That is my personal real-world opinion. I suppose it depends on how significant these factors are to you as an individual and of course your budget.

i tried it, its good for pictures but crap for video. theres an autotracking feature that wont turn off even if you turn it off in the settings. makes the footage jumpy when subject is moving
@TravelGigolo4 жыл бұрын
I haven't had any issues with the tracking auto focus. What setting are using on the main dial when shooting video? Also at full zoom its difficult to keep the camera steady when hand held but that's to be expected for big zooms.

Hello I bought this camera a few days ago, when i zoomed into the moon it was not focusing at all. Very difficult. Amy tips ?
@TravelGigolo4 жыл бұрын
Hi. I assume you're having difficulty with night photos of the moon. Day photos of the moon are easier. For a clear night shot of the moon, an easy solution is to set the auto white balance (AWB) to tungsten, and reduce the exposure to -1 or so. You can do this in programme mode (i.e set dial to P). Its best done with a tripod. You can also use a delay timer to give the camera time to settle after you press the shutter button or use the remote control. Otherwise you can play the settings in manual mode as well until you get it right. Mainly ISO set to about 100, and then change shutter speed to about 1/80, then change aperture until you get you get the photo you want. Try small changes to the settings until you are happy.

Make sure to set your camera on Manual, Do not use Auto, you will never get good photos of the moon. Crank up your ISO to about 1600 and a large F number try between f20-29. Shutter speed of about 1/60-80. You also want to use spot metering and single point. And shoot the moon when it is just rising just after dark, that is when the moon is at it dimmest and will allow you to get more detail. A half moon will be even better. For best results use a tripod, but you can still do fine hand held. I take the moon using my DSLR with a huge 600 mm lens on it handheld so you should have no problem with yours. As for not focusing on the moon, it is because you probably have the camera set for auto, in which case the camera is using multi-point focus and matrix metering, which you do not want, so that is why it can't focus on the moon. That is why you need to set your camera to manual and set the focus mode to single point and the metering to spot metering. Also no two nights are quite the same and believe it or not the moon is never the same as it is rotating, so the above settings are just a basic setting to go by, you may need t tweak them slightly depending on the night and the size of the moon and how late or early you take it. The later at night and the higher the moon the brighter it is so it will be harder to capture as much detail.

I'm not aware of a pause function while recording. I dont think that is possible on this camera. I have not seen this on any other cameras either.

Can I manually focus the lens?

Yes, you can manually focus. It's a digital operation using the screen and manual focus settings.

@@TravelGigolo Hi: Thank you for answering my question. So what you are saying is I can the menu setting to manual focus and then use the ring on the lens? Sorry if I should know this answer but I have 2 previous head injuries. So what you are saying, is EVERY TIME I want to take a photo in the MANUAL Focus mode, I have to use the rotating dial? If I was taking a picture of an eagle jumping off a limb, I wouldn't have time to use the rotating dial. Once I am in the manual mode, can't I just use the ring on the lens to focus each shot?
@TravelGigolo3 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately there is no dial (bezel) on the lens for focusing . The process is all digital. So you go into manual focus and then use the buttons to set the focal position. It's too slow to use this method on a subject that is moving. Perhaps try Tracking Auto Focus. In Tacking AF you choose the subject to focus on and the camera then moves the focal point to stay with the subject.

I have not tried other manufacturers to compare. So I can only really speak with confidence about the Canon. In my view it's a very good product for the price range.
