I chose this camera for nature documentation, recommended by a friend due to the speed of autofocus – it works much better in the case of moving objects (e.g. birds) compared to the Nikon Coolpix P900

After some initial difficulties (poor user manual), I made friends with the camera. I am most pleased with the possibility of taking panoramic photos, which are easy to take and very well reproduced. Together with the 65x optical zoom, this is the perfect backpack camera as it’s not too heavy. But recordings in difficult lighting conditions are also quite successful. I recommend to beginners.

Virtually every “oh” and “ah” justified, but unfortunately the problem of a tiny stable of glasses is a shadow of the excellent quality.
If you’re on a rubber budget and don’t want more than portraits and landscapes, then you won’t notice the problem. But if, like me, you are on a budget and are fond of wildlife, then definitely avoid this system.
I paid for it, so I warn you right away. MC-11 or Metabones V won’t solve the problem. There are no long lenses in Sony’s offer (except for the cosmically expensive 100-400) and those from Canon connected via an adapter lose their ability to work with continuous AF. The accuracy in this mode is terrible.
I emphasize once again – it’s not the camera that is bad (it’s insane) – it’s the size of its ecosystem that makes it hard.

I bought the camera to be able to take pictures not with a heavy DSLR with many lenses as before, but with a much smaller camera, with one lens that replaces several of mine in the current camera.
The camera has a lot of different functions and to get them all you have to go through several dozen pages of instructions, or use the automatic photo function, then everything is simple.
As for the quality of photos and videos that can be taken with this Canon, they are very good, the colors are great and the stabilization does a good job.
If you need something that will deliver across a broader range of indoor and outdoor situations, though, it may be best to look towards a camera with a more modest zoom range and a larger sensor.
In conclusion, I recommend the camera to everyone, amateurs and professionals.
The shop, as usual, did a great job and I received the camera at the agreed time.
Finally, if you are looking for a camera with a larger image sensor and a larger dynamic range Full Frame DSLR is still an option but the price is high.

I purchased the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS in September and I must say, I am extremely pleased with my decision. As an architect, I need a camera that can capture high-quality images with vivid detail and the SX70 HS delivers just that.
One of the standout features of this camera is its 1/2000 sec flash sync speed, which allows me to take stunning photos even in low light conditions. The built-in flash is also a game-changer, allowing me to capture impressive shots without worrying about the lighting.
Compared to other popular digital cameras on the market, the SX70 HS definitely stands out with its impressive zoom range and 4K video capabilities. The camera is also very user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it the perfect choice for both professional photographers and beginners alike.
The delivery of the camera to El Paso was smooth and efficient, and I was impressed with the level of customer service provided by the retailer. Overall, I highly recommend the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS to anyone in search of a high-quality digital camera that delivers superior performance and stunning photos every time. With its exceptional features and impressive capabilities, this camera truly exceeds expectations.
