Comment

My step-son started an online business. We were using our cell phones to take the pictures, thought that was good quality.... wrong! I bought this (always wanted a decent camera anyway) and I tell you what, its amazing! The pictures come out WAY better and professional looking without having to do anything in Photoshop or any other software program. For me, $599 is a lot of $$$, some people this is just a drop in the bucket but this is a major purchase for me. Im so glad I did it. My son graduates next year and Im going to do his pictures myself. I took a few and sent them to my ex-wife and she thought I had them professionally done, she loved them!........well until she found out that I did them and of course she didnt like them as much... those divorced know what I mean lol. But really, I dont give awesome reviews if the product sucks. Trust me on this one, its one amazing camera with amazing features (did a lot of reading and YouTube watching) for the amount of money you are paying for it. On the downside which isnt anybodys fault (crap happens)... the lens that came with the camera, the autofocus stopped working after switching it off once (Manual Focus to Auto Focus). I wrote to Canon and they stated that I could ship it back and they would look at it to make sure its still under warranty and then they would fix it. As one review stated, the accessories that come with the kit are freebies. Seen a lot of complaints about the freebies they got including that the bag was crappy... Well, the accessories that I got (that are pictured) all work fine and the bag is really nice! The ONLY thing that failed me with the accessories is the wireless remote. Could not for the life of me get it to work. But thats ok because I downloaded the Canon app and it allows you to connect to the camera and you can remote shot from your phone! It also allows you to view live on your phone what your camera sees, adjust ISO, Amateur, etc remotely. You can even view all your photos on the cameras memory stick right from your phone. Its a really nice and handy app! I know if you need a camera, you will enjoy this one!

This is a great camera with an amazing value, especially for a relative beginner like myself. It comes with everything you need in a starter pack and more, plus a nice bag to keep everything in. I was going to deduct a star because I initially received a rather flimsy (but still functional) Ritz Gear tripod instead of the Manfrotto this promises, but I messaged them and got a response and a brand new tripod in a few days. I am so happy with this product.

This is my first DSLR camera and I am getting very acclimated. I have no experience with dslr cameras or any "professional" camera at that but I am definitely earning my stripes. Both EF-S 18-55mm and the 75mm are Canon lenses just confirm. Very decent non-Canon accessories. Crisp photos & solid videos. Great camera.

A very good price for all the items that come with the camera. They are not cheapies either. The only thing I would like to see in this camera is that you could use the screen as a viewfinder. It only works like that taking a video

Simple, cheap, light weight, and very nice quality. I would suggest a 50mm 1.8 lens to go with this youll be amazed at the photos you can take. If your aiming for video You can add a cheap takstar mic to much improve sound quality. The articulating screen is great for vlogging or youtubers. Canon Has made a lifelong customer of me.

I wanted to get back into product photography but didnt want to spend thousands of dollars. I needed a better camera than just a point and shoot and the SL2 fit the bill. I have plenty of control over the white balance and depth of field which is all I wanted but the bonus is the clear and crisp focusing of a dual pixel autofocus and canon lens. Very happy with the purchase.

Received right away and I was so excited when it showed up. It came over packaged...which I loved because I knew it was not damaged. The picture of all of the products it comes with does not do it justice which was also a nice surprise. Everything, including the tripod, fit perfectly in the case it comes with. The Camera also works great! It comes with a big manual that I still need to read....and Im not looking forward to, but I know I will need to get to know this camera. Hope this helps!

Great camera, perfect kit lens for the beginner and all the accessories you need to start: memory, a few filters, and a card reader. The good: the telephoto and wide angle lenses will be fun to play with and can help get a feel for what sort of lens you might want next, even if they have unwanted lensing effects around the edge of the image. The camera bag, memory storage pack and screen protector, cleaning kit, and extra flash are icing on the cake. The filters and storage bag are handy and well worth keeping. The bad: the infrared wireless remote doesnt work with this camera because it doesnt have an infrared receiver. The tripod comes with a bubble but definitely has a cheap feel, and even though its better than nothing, the manfrotto kit is a much better and practical option. The bottom line: if its your first DSLR, its the best place to start since it has a fantastic sensor capable of capturing beautiful photos and videos; with user friendly menus, and simplified controls. Even if the body feels cheap, the internals are outstanding; otherwise gives a great sense of what to look for (and avoid) in your next camera.

The camera itself is phenomenal for a new photographer, but if I were planning to purcahse an SL2 again, I would probably opt for a different package. The 75-300mm lens doesnt offer image stabilization, which isnt ideal if you plan to take photos using the lens without a tripod. I also found many of the other accessories just werent great quality and I quickly needed to buy alternatives anyway. After getting my camera, I took a Digital SLR class and when talking with my instructor I was flatout told not to bother using the external flash included, or the telephoto and wide angle lenses. The UV filter is also plexiglass, so it doesnt really protect the lens it is on and the CPL filter doesnt really seem to be getting the desired effect. All that being said - I absolutely LOVE the camera itself and am really happy with it! Its been great as a beginner, and the small size makes it so easy to bring it with me different places!

I am very much a beginner to SLR cameras, although I have always wanted one since I was a kid. In choosing this particular camera and bundle my pre-purchase research included what type of camera would be good for a novice like me, but that also had features specifically tailored to my desire to make video presentations. Though this is an entry level Canon model, it does have the same dual auto focus feature as Canons higher end cameras. That, along with the fact this bundle also came with both a Canon 18-55 lens and a Canon 75-300 telephoto lens was a determining factor. Several other bundles had many of the same products included, but this additional lens at the bundle price sold me. As for the rest of the package, everything else was as expected except for the tripod that came with the bundle. I was expecting a 12" flexible tripod, but instead received a standard 48" tripod. That was the only disappointment as that was another reason I bought this bundle. I already have standard tripods- I wanted one of the shorter flexible ones, as shown with the bundle I was buying. The two adapter lenses (.43x Hi Def Wide angle lens and 2.2x Hi Def Telephoto lens are not Canon products but attach to the included Canon lenses enhancing their capabilities. So far I have tried a few basic functions of the camera, taking some basic photos and video, and I really like the results. As I get more familiar with the features, I will update this entry with more information that could be helpful to people considering this product.
