Currently contacting Canon to check authenticity. The charger has a Chinese company plastered across it which seems odd so I am waiting for Canon to get back to me on that. The Camera itself has passed the serial check and feels great, I have no reason to doubt the camera or lense, im hoping Canon...

I'm not a camera pro. I needed to start shooting content for my business and did some research - took a shot on this one. Great decision. The amazing auto focus is a key feature for filming yourself because it follows you after you set it up to keep you in focus as you're moving around.

The camera shoots pretty good stills and photos and is small enough for carrying around. Some of the features will take time to learn and apply, but well worth it. So far the only complaint i have is the lack of a Bulb feature on the shutter.

I've owned several 16mp cameras but I wanted a higher pixel count for greater detail in my images. I considered the Canon RP, but the dioptre adjustment range on the EVF isn't as wide as with the R for some reason so what else was there with a fully articulated screen with a dioptre adjustment range...

For me personally the camera has been amazing. I am not a photograper at all and yet I have been able to get a couple of pretty good images that I am happy with. It is light and compact and for a backpacker, I could not ask for more. With the 55-200 mm lense it is still under 2lbs.
