Canon PowerShot ZOOM Pocket-Sized Digital Monocular - Get Close, Then Closer with 3-Step Zoom, Lightweight Design, 12MP Stills, HD Video, USB-C Camera, Outdoor - Wi-fi & Bluetooth Connectivity

Just what I wanted. To have a reasonable monocular (9 x) and the ability to capture and stabilise the image. When the zoom photo is combined with the phone's ability to digitally zoom a further 10x, although the image is poor at this level, it is quite an extraordinary thing to have. I have abandoned my binoculars and monoculars and just carry this. Disadvantages are the need to always use the dedicated charger, the battery life if used for more than an hour is poor, but all in all, I love it

Personally I find this fine. I bought it new at £199. The Bluetooth transfer of images works fine and it has taken some good pictures. Clearly a dedicated camera will be better, but this fits in your pocket and makes a useful monocular too! I have no regrets at all.

The camera comes with a USBA - USB-C cable but, if you use this to plug the camera into a typical wall plug adaptor, it will not charge. I tried to charge the camera using multiple cables plus 2 different USB-output chargers. None of them worked. I assumed the camera was faulty. After 2 calls to Canon, the support rep. told me to send it to the Service centre. I duly did that and got the camera back with a report which said 'we charged the camera and it worked' without any explanation of why i couldn't get it to charge. After a lot of research on the net, I found that (a) the charger needs to have a minimum output of 18W (other lower figures are given), (b) I could solve the problem by buying a power pack with 22.5 W output https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FCLL8KGB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title and a usb-c to usb-c cable (usb-a doesnt seem capable of carrying enough power) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F6VPF2FB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title The camera works fine and I can now charge it but Canon deserve 0/10 for (a) not including a charger that works (b) not getting their support processes and documentation sorted out to tell people about this issue.

Very happy with this. I use it on bike rides and holidays when walking. More comfortable to carry than my bridge camera and camcorder in my pocket and with a steady function better than binoculars etc

It’s not easy to use with one hand- which I bought it for. Ended up resting it against my forehead to steady it while pressing the buttons.

Ideal to carry around in your pocket and zoom in on birds and other distant objects. Initially setting the camera up and the bluetooth connection are a little tedious and slow but the photographic results, when viewed on a tablet or computer are excellent

Light weight and easy to use, links with canon phone app easily and very straight forward. The photos can appear a bit grainy on the device, but when down loaded, they look pretty good. Shame it’s not a little waterproof, but overall it is a nice bit of kit.

Canon is a good and trustworthy camera producer so I was so happy to see this Zoom camera was available. This is a kit including essential items you need: camera, micro SDcard and power charger. The camera is small size and lightweight so you can easily put it into your pocket. It is white finish nice and stylish. It has very strong focal length maximum 800mm. But it is digital zoom so the photo quality is not very good. 400mm is quite long distance anyway. It can be monocular as well as camera so it is very convenient for the people who likes hiking and observing birds and so on. The photos quality are not as good as DSLR but good enough. Just so convenient to use. The price is a bit high but the kit is £298.12 on sale so it is reasonable currently. I am looking forward to traveling and using this for my holiday after the pandemic.
