Canon E1CNPSG7XMIIISL First Impressions

"A good buy in my book."

Simple to figure out how to use, even for beginning photographers. Some people even claim that the Canon E1CNPSG7XMIIISL rivals medium format quality. I bought this camera right before I went on vacation to Hawaii. Manual focus would've been nice. I did buy some rechargeable batteries to use in it.

Canon E1CNPSG7XMIIISL Final Thoughts

"Husband loves this Canon E1CNPSG7XMIIISL."

Just ordered my soft box lights. I needed a Streaming Point & Shoot Digital Camera with a sensor larger than what is on my smartphone. 5 seconds to wait for auto focus is not going to kill me. It is easy to use and takes clear pictures. Maybe it is for a small POS.

"It's range is awesome."

Looking forward to seeing how the weight savings impact my hikes and travel. The lens adapter works seamlessly with no performance penalty. Love the small compact size which will be perfect for traveling. However, while it was still working, it took great pictures and was very easy to use. The recommended solution is to send in the camera for cleaning.

PHOTO4LESS Canon G7 X Mark III (Black) Final Thoughts

"So, not real."

Or, you can select all-manual, if you want to set everything yourself. Plus I have various DSLRs and a beautiful PHOTO4LESS. So glad I chose the PHOTO4LESS Canon G7 X Mark III (Black). The lens adapter works seamlessly with no performance penalty. Where this PHOTO4LESS Canon G7 X Mark III (Black) really shines though is the video recording oddly enough.

"Anyway, the point is."

Light, portable and equipped with a good sensor. For me the upgrade was worth it as it had things I find extremely useful. Its really the camera to take on day trips. One thing that worries me is the little flap that covers the USB connector. While the 24-70 seems good, I can’t wait for a new PHOTO4LESS Canon PowerShot SX540.
