I’m not exactly a beginner since I’ve used 35 mm cameras that use film. Ancient history. I recall developing pictures in developing fluid and in a dark room. However, this was slightly new technology. Canon made it easy. The top dial gives you options for the type of shot you take—landscape, portrait, plant, movement, etc. It took a call to Canon for me to understand how to get my photos from the camera to my iPhone. However, the Tech support person was very patient and helpful. I had to call twice because I did not write the instructions down the first time. I saw the Sandisk reader in the bag and used it to read the photos the first time. But it seemed a little resistant at going in the slot, so I bought another one. Now, I have three ways to get my photos off the camera and on to my phone or computer. Win win.
The camera came with lots of fun stuff. Extension or extra lenses that I have not used yet; a tripod, which works fine but feels a bit flimsy. There is also a puff bulb to clean the inside of your camera, and cleaning kit with silk-like cleaning cloth. I’ve used the cloth several times on the lens.
The bag the camera comes with is rather large to accommodate all of the goodies. However, I found that I did not want to carry a big bag, so I bought a holster bag—a small camera bag ($25) that holds just the camera and the attached 55 mm lens.
The battery life is fine; I really don’t see what other users saw as a problem. I bought extra batteries just in case. But I rarely have to use them. The key to making the battery last is to turn off the camera when you are not using it. Obviously, I leave it on when I’m hiking so I can get a quick shot of a deer, rabbit or squirrel or whatever. But when I prepare to go home, I place the cap back on and turn the Canon 4000D T100 off before putting it in its holster.
The picture quality is great. I’ve only had a couple of photos out of focus and that is likely due to my not having a full understanding of how to manipulate the f-stops. I’m working on that.
I asked the Canon tech person why my videos were shaky, and he suggested I get a monopod. Apparently, this is the sensitive nature of a DSLR camera. I bought a monopod for about $20, and it has made all the difference in my videos.
This camera with its accessories and bag is well worth the money. The camera itself functions well and offers a number of options for taking professional photographs. I was so pleased that I don’t want to share mine with my hubby. So he’s getting a similar one for his birthday!
Thank you Canon for good customer service and thank you Amazon and Amazon seller for helping me develop a hobby that needed a solid camera.
