This is a Review of the Canon Powershot ZOOM, one of the weirdest most interesting "cameras" i've used. It's kinda a binocular, with out the bi part...and the ability to shoot photos, shoot video and optically zoom from 100 to 400mm and digitally to 800mm. Order the Powershot ZOOM on Amazon amzn.to/3zwS52n
Will you get the best quality out of the photos and video, not really. But it does what it's designed to do, get photos and videos at a distance where your cellphone never could. At the end of the day, it's an interesting device, that might be fun for some people to own.

I hope you weren't wearing the "I shoot raw" shirt while using that 😂
Another thing people are not really mentioning is that a lot of events won't allow "professional" cameras and I can't even bring my GoPro to those, so this might be allowed in those cases.
That footage is shakier than a Bourne movie action scene. Glad to see I’m not the only one who needs 3methods of stabilisation to shoot any video on the go 😅
Best comment 👑
Yes stabilize in post
I loved seeing the old video camera comparison. Really put things into perspective
The last montage of your moms videos was extremely heartwarming . :)
Loved the home movies at the end, very special memories.
Yes, that was so sweet 🥺.
C'mon man came for the review not for the feelings 😭 nice family memories captured by your mom. BTW nice jumpscare!
it is an opportunity for the people can’t see well, such as me. it could be at least 1inch sensor for low light performance but it still works for the 90% blind people, such as me.
You'd be looking at a 3 times the size of lens then, though, as well as a steep price increase...
@@Dornacgove a lens shows what there is, a camera shows what you want to see. there’s a huge difference between them for a person can’t see well, such as me 😂
Resolution is ephemeral but content is eternal.
I loved the last 2 mins, now I know why you are always in to photography and capturing moments 😊
13:45 the amount of memes that could be made from this is endless 😂 I’ll start them off: When you realise you own a Pentax
Been waiting so long for someone to cover this thing, of course it's my favourite, Jared!
Personally I thought it performed GREAT ! As photogs, We walk around all the time with an eyepiece up to our faces anyway so I think the form factor with the optical zoom is decent
2:28 British naturalist, nature photographer, television presenter and author Chris Packham!
Yes, a loony that has just put me off buying Canon gear forever.
Even with the birthday cake he did the wind-tunel -test
I find the canon monocular filling in as a companion camera and video camera such as biking or hiking or anything on the go where bringing a big DSLR or Mirrorless as a drag. It's light enough to hang around the neck or side without weighing you and obstructing your activities. Of course there's alot better devices that do better, but their don't have a small footprint as this device which allows you to take everyday shots and videos of your family and friends activities without feeling you have to bring your camera bag everywhere. I say it's a better than decent camera and video compared to what i used in yesteryear!
Guy's rolling around on a footie pitch😂 What's with all the baby padding in American football!
@@Hypervigilant 😂
Does it work ok in the dark? I like to go to concerts and sometimes the seats are not that good and they do not allow professional cameras. Is it worth it for some photos and videos?
Loved the family videos at the end man! Great memories I'm sure. Happy New Year!
Honestly, for what it is, the quality isn’t half bad for the average consumer. It’s easy to use, light weight, and not an eye sour or something that grabs others attention, which is good!
My Panasonic Zoom cam has a good *zoom* also

Its light and cheap!!
this actually a pretty good review
10.44 "right in the nuts." I remember watching my fathers video when he and mum were holidaying in the Cook Islands over 20 years ago. He pressed record whilst he was walking, plenty of vision of sand and nothing else, ooops
I think the video quality up to 400mm is not half bad. Nice family videos, at the end. We've never had that, when we were growing up, not even photos.
Could use this as a spotting scope to find your subject, then switch to your actual good camera kit.
You're welcomed! 😎👍
Yes! The Italians won! Although I hate it when it goes to PKs, but I’ll take it. England, and especially their goaltender were amazing throughout the tournament. They deserve lots and lots of credit. And they have a great future in front of them
This will be a conspicuous stalking tool … I mean… hunting tool? I mean… idk what this is for
That nice excerpt from the I'm 40 video... right through the heart.
Yeah, as someone who has very limited eyesight i dig the idea of having a little monocular with stabilizer, zoom and recording functions. Hey that's basically how i often used camcorders back in the day. But this particular one leaves a lot to be desired, good old a Canon-style. Let's hope they sell a number of these, so Sony recognizes the potential for a proper one. Until then I'll use the phone for those tasks. Also, limited eyesight means a screen would be preferred over a evf, especially if that is on the smaller side.
Fro practicing the wind tunnel test since he was a kid, that's why he is such an expert.
If it had a better sensor, and not overpriced, I would like one for. Use at a range to see points of impact when using paper or steel targets at 200 to 300 yards.
I mean it's relatively cheap compared to the other cameras in similar boat with optical zoom and pretty compact. Can't beat an actual binocular and a partner, but it can record the impact though.
I think it's a good option for target shooting championships with open sights and targets 50 or 100 meters away. It allows you to view the target and know if the shots are within the score. Better than carrying those monstrous, heavy monocles.
might make i nice spotting scope for a larger lens if it had a cold shoe adapter on the bottom
Almost made me cry at the end!!😭
This looks like a range finder for golf. Nikon makes one
Ah. The wonder years meets the Goldbergs.
Can it connect wireless to smartphone if so using what app? Can the pictures & videos be uploaded to Google photos with the original resolution?
If so what app for Android?
Please help thanks in advance
Could you add a shotgun mic to this thing?
Follow up question: why the hell would you want to add a shotgun mic to this thing?
I bought the camera.The image quality is OK for what it is, BUT the zoom functionality is very handy. I shoot sports and Its a fun piece (Not a replacement) that I only would recommend for IG and maybe twitter.
Hey great review, but will appreciate to see some lowlight examples! Thanks for this!
Can be used for astrophotography ?
Vedio course helps❤️
Very touching moments at the end. Love family
Wow, it’s always interesting to see what forms these techniques take! Like wow, some sort of binocular-camera type… I’m in awe HAHA love the humor in this one 💯✔️🔥
2:28 is that Chris Packham?
Yes, he reviewed it too. A Canon ambassador.
@@steveslack4750 everyday is s school day. Thanks 👍🏻
I was thinking that this might be a miss for me, until you showed the sharing aspect of this thing with the connect app. Perfect for bird watching and sharing with someone having trouble spotting the bird you are looking at. Also perfect for taking shots of birds to identify later. Thanks for the awesome video! Perfect for Titmice . . . uh . . . Titmouses . . . and Tugboats!
How are you getting past the MLB licensing requirements?
2:00 oof I forgot this supposed to be a family friendly video
That's it, I'm ditching my R5 for this one...
🙏 Nice home movies, I had a Panasonic MS1 bloody heavy things to shoot with 👍Thank your mother for capturing the beautiful memories 🙏
Great finale man!! Thanks for sharing!
aww the footage in the end 🥺
You can slip it into your ankle sock for protection and to have a holster!
So my camera has vertical lines showing on screen when taking pictures and also when recording and can’t seem to find any video about that ...can you please help
The old Sony videos of little Jared are better then the canon super shit ones
Wow who pissed in your breakfast
Yahh! Times have changed. Cameras have changed, All for the better. We can view so much more now. It will only get better & Better. Time marches ON!
You should have compared it to the space zoom in the s20 ultra phone as a comparison
"Most endearing," at the end there!
Oh wow...blast from the past. We had a Betamax video recorder. The complete package was the camera, the portable player on a strap connected and a 4 battery pack, also on a shoulder strap. I hauled that around all over Spain when we lived there in the 80's. Makes me tired just thinking about it now....Give me my tiny electronics now.
It has any ways to protect lense, battery life is preatty bad, image quality at 800 is really bad... what are ups for this thing again? :D
Betamax was in theory 512 lines in NTSC and 640 in PAL/SECAM, though you ended up with quite less once recorded. Betamax was quite good actually and much better than VHS because it was component video, separating luminance and chrominance (Y/C). It lost the consumer business to Panasonic’s crappy VHS, but turned into BETACAM which became a professional standard for TV crews for 2 decades.
If you can use the canon connect application, couldn't you download the files to give more record times?
I hope you enjoyed the Olympic Basketball Vs the French.... see I can do sportsball teasing too! 😜
What digital monocular would you advise to get that would be better for watching sports
I bought this, nice little device however whenever it is turned on there is a whirring sound and it's audible on video recordings. Did you (or other readers) find this?
This would be great for a beginner birdwatcher to help ID the birds. You could get the image to look it up later and then go back to your good binoculars.
if this was a bit cheaper id definitely get one for hiking. be so easy to keep this is pocket or bag and its just as good as most phones but give you that reach a phone cant
I wonder how it performs when capturing videos of the moon
Great video! definitely not for everybody but i picked one up to take some pictures of birds. better than the alternative of a cheaper bulky camera
How dare you mention Italy, as I Brit I take exception to this......... actually I don't, there's more important thing than football (not soccer, it's football)
Its not SOCCER. Its FOOTBALL!!!
Debatable
@@Magicshuttez nah fam it ain’t debatable
@@zeishanalinissar8609 it is its football nobody says soccer
Most people have cables from other devices that are type c so maybe that's why they didn't include it in the box.
$300 Bills… Ahhh HELL no! 😂 Should be $80 bucks max. Lol!
Let's be real this camera was made for dudes to creep on chicks and nothing else. LOL. Probably why it was released in Japan only. 😂
That's actually a great idea given the size
The images' quality is very retro
Great video !
I've bought it as a stabilized monokular. It does the same job than the Minox, that i used up till here. Minox gave better picture quality but canon ist IS. That makes life easier. Taking pictures and videos is a nice extra.
The pictures of my R5 with the RF800mm are better, but not in the relation of the price.
Why is charging a problem?
Are there no adapters from Apple Lightning to USB-C?
When we going to see a news fix on the camera gear used at the Olympics?
I have been waiting for this review to come out because the add was soo funny.
😅😂🤣😭 @ your description of the Sony bata max. 😂😂😂😂 Mom’s always go the extra mile. 🙌🏾👏🏾💪🏾
I can start my own cheaters show now lol
Love this Ep. Especially your childhood vid
at 14:05 there is a child behind Jared, with a sweater with Top Duck. I had this shirt and funny enough I was searching for it a few weeks ago just to see it. Cancer sucks and Thanks for the video Jared!
Aww. That ending though. 🥰 watch til the end.
I enjoyed the personal home footage. Thank you for sharing.
I would like to see picture at 400mm with this compare to a 600D+ 18-200mm cropped twice. to see if really the quality is worth it. I couldnt find any video comparing it to a DSLR entry level.
you will do all Canon ask you to do what about your Pro proud !!
How long does the battery last on average?
specs from canon say max 800mm 35mm equivalent that gives 9.6X magnification. Surely 800mm 35mm equiv should be 16x zoom i.e. 800/50mm. I'm confused :)
Great review.. I bet you are back in Canons good books. You gotta love seeing Jared still doing the same cheesy grin. Good on you J's mum
I find the concept perfect, even if the execution is version 1.0. I’ve got a $1,600 pair of Canon IS binoculars that are amazing, weigh almost 3 lbs, and fit nicely in my backpack (if nothing else is in the backpack). They don’t take video or photos of what you see. I’ve also got a Canon Camera with telephoto lens that fits in a large camera bag. I’m not really much of a photographer, so that rarely leaves my closet. I do a lot of travel, hiking, nature observing and watching my grandkids in sports, plays, and concerts. So, a small IS monocular that slips into a pocket is absolutely perfect to go everywhere. Hopefully it will catch on, and Canon will improve on it and even offer higher quality, higher priced versions. BTW, something with an eyepiece is great for taking pictures in the bright sun. I have trouble seeing the screen when trying to take outdoor pictures with my iPhone.
I feel the review would have been harsher if it was made by Nikon. But this camera is what it is.
I do not recommend this for birding as I use canon with 60X and still hard to see.
Your mothers video touched some feelings. RIP.
Stop crying it was a well balanced review without bias.
ohhh a little Jared with number 10! 10:15
Well digital zoom on cheaper video cameras is usually actually 100% fine. They don't normally use a full sensor readout. They line skip, and can just change what lines they are skipping to when cropping in. It's only when you start running out of physical pixels on the sensor do you start to see a difference. Photos however that do use the whole sensor, is a different story
Dang looks fine watching on the 12 pro max
Pretty hilarious thing but I thinks is great. But def hilarious 😂
What about a zoom addition for your camera. How good are they and how cost effective .
mom is so lovely great video
It is kinda useful but 300 dollars seems quite high and i am an Android user but it's not USB-C - should've at least included a charging cable. Even though the quality is only adequate, as your child-days montage shows, capturing the moment is the most important thing and this device can do it with a better reach than most reasonably-priced smartphones.
Anyway since Chris Packham is in the promo - i'm sold! :-D
4:46. Many, many phones now come with 1/1.7" sensors and some newer phones are even coming out with 1/1.2" sensors. Smartphones really kind of have been the death of compact cameras...
ohhhh it took me 4 minutes into the video to realize this is a current product lmaoooo i thought it was old
Mini fro wearing number 10
