Great for beginners. Would suggest buying a 6mm or 8mm lense also

I fell in love with this camera before I even saw it.Until this moment, the best DSLR for it's pricePros:-Real 12.2MP Quality (You need to make sure you've got IS lenses or a fast shutter speed, and that you are focused correctly, in order to get 12.2MP JPEGs)-In my experience with Canon, for professional-looking pictures, you've come to the right place.-Long Lasting Battery. It took me five days for mine to run out (I was taking, on average, 5 pics per hour).-Embedded Dust Removal Software-Strong Flash-Fastest Shutter speed available, 1/4000 sec.-Low Noise (I haven't seen any noise yet)Cons:-No video. But, who needs video? I'll get myself a JVC GY-HD for that.I can't think of any more.

Over the years, I've used a variety of webcams. The Logitech HD C615 Portable Webcam is my favorite to date. It has a strong feature set including:Full HD 1080p video capture (up to 1920 x 1080 pixels)720p HD video calling (1280 x 720 pixels)8 MP Photos (interpolated), 2 MP (true)AutofocusBuilt in Mic (mono) with noise cancellationUniversal clip that fits laptops, LCDs or CRT monitorsFold-and-go tripod-ready webcam (Meaning that it is easy to take with you)Automatic low-light correctionVideo and photo captureMAGIX photo and video editing software1-click Facebook, Twitter and YouTube HD upload capability for videos (Facebook integration also adds the ability to upload photos but the others do not right now)Several video effects including fun filters, avatars, face accessories, video masks and a mask makerSkype integration for video callingHere is a link to the full technical specifications from Logitech: [....]Test Platform used: Windows 7 64 bit PC with a 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Processor and 6GB of RAMMy C615 webcam came with a 37" USB cord and a 39" USB extension cord (meaning that I got 76" of cord altogether). I was happy to see the extension cord. Often USB devices don't have long enough cords and then you're forced to buy an extension. It was nice to see Logitech had already thought of this. It would have been nice if it were just a bit longer since I have a tower case for my computer that sits on the floor but the USB cable was able to reach my USB hub just fine.Setup was very easy. After taking everything out of the box, I put the CD in the drive and followed the onscreen instructions. It took me a couple of minutes to get the camera to sit properly on the top of my Samsung monitor, but this was more due to the design of the monitor than the design of the webcam. My monitor has a curved lip on the top that is slippery and hard to place things on. It is by far the hardest monitor I've ever tried to mount webcams on. In spite of this, the rubberized lips of the webcam clung to it nicely and I was able to adjust the webcam quickly so that it was at the correct orientation for me when I'm sitting at my monitor. After that, I had the webcam working within just a few minutes.Logitech's software is simple and easy to use. I fired up Gmail and started a video chat with a friend. It recognized the camera immediately and even loaded the Logitech controls. I played around with the video effects and had his girls (8 & 10) laughing at the funny avatars that were easy to use within the Logitech software. I think the best thing that I can say is that it made me want to play around with it more. This camera comes with MAGIX photo and video editing software. I didn't install the MAGIX photo editing software because I do a lot of work with high end photography and I didn't want to risk it potentially messing with my settings for my much more expensive photo software. I did install the MAGIX video editing software. You have to download it from a link that the Logitech installer provides. I found the software easy to use and it worked fairly well for a simple video editor. I was annoyed that they say they will email you a serial number and that after 3 days, I'm still waiting to get my serial number (you can run it 5 times without the serial number or for 30 days if you have an Internet connection). I was also a bit frustrated by Logitech. When I tried to log into Logitech VID HD (Logitech's video software) it didn't remember my password. When I typed it in again, it said I had no account. When I tried to create an account, it told me my email address was already in use. I requested a password change and two days later I'm still waiting for the confirmation email (and yes I checked my spam folder). I'm sure it will arrive eventually, but really Logitech, 2 days? It should have taken no more than a few minutes. These were the only stumbling blocks I came across with the webcam and are very minor. I haven't tried Skype with the webcam yet, but support is built in.The quality of the video on this webcam is stunning. It looked better than anything else I have used and my friends commented on how good it looked. It is highly detailed and the colors are very rich. It works better in low light than any other webcam I've used too, not looking anywhere near as pixelated.The still pictures aren't bad for a webcam but they certainly aren't as good as most cheap digital cameras can produce. Logitech's website says the pictures are 8 MP interpolated and 2 MP true which means this is really a 2 MP camera that they are using software to go to 8 MP with. The pictures look like 2 MP pictures. I will try to upload some samples.Another thing worth noting. This webcam would be easy to use on a notebook computer. Although my notebook PC (a Dell XPS 1530) has a decent webcam in it, if I were going to be gone somewhere for any length of time, I would probably take this with me. The Logitech C615 is very small and is easily portable with its fold and go design. It would work much more nicely as a webcam.Overall, I am very happy with this webcam. There are more expensive models out there and some that have a Zeiss lens, but I have to say the video quality is stunning on this. The controls are easy to use and it was easy to get it setup and running. It worked great with Gmail (and Google+). It is something I will be using for a long time.

We purchased this 4 camera 5 mp camera system for our home security system. The system is very easy to install , and produces excellent video. We showed it to our neighbor and he is going to order the same system. We would recommend this product for anyone wanting a excellent home security home video system.

This camera is likely more than the casual user needs, in fact I think even some professional photographers could do most everything they need to with this camera. About a year and a half ago I saw this camera with the kit lens, a

, and a couple of tiffen filters for around $550 after some rebates. I was looking into cameras, and this deal was too good to pass up, so I made first entry into the DSLR market. I have been very impressed with the camera, it takes over 300 pictures on its battery, has good low light performance, and there are a bunch of generic accessories available for the photographer on a budget.The camera itself feels a little unsubstantial. I have held super zoom cameras that seem more sturdy, and the grip is slippery. The auto-focus is also a little slow. These are really only cosmetic issues, sure the body is plastic and not magnesium, thus it has less resistance to the elements, but that will be the case for any camera under a thousand dollars. The sensor works well and there are more adjustments available than you will likely know what to do with.While 12.2 MP seems low it is not really a bad thing to have fewer pixels on an entry level camera. Although pixel technology in sensors have decreased in size incredibly rapidly, the sensors themselves have not improved proportionally. This means that as the number of pixels increase, the amount of light received per pixel decreases and can result in less vibrant images, although they may be more detailed. 12.2 MP is also just not that low of a pixel count. A 1080p HDTV has only 2 MP, and a movie theater has about 8 MP. I think that you'll find 12.2 MP more than adequate.While this camera takes fine pictures, its video performance could be better. The video is limited to a resolution of 720p and 30fps, additionally it has no input for an external microphone. As such this is not the camera for the video enthusiast. the 5d and 7d are some of the best options for video, in fact they have been used in feature films such as The Avengers and Black Swan, However those cameras cost several times as much as this one, so a video shooting option is nice.The screen is fine, It has a fairly high pixel density and is large enough to do see the interface in decent detail. Where this camera and all cameras like it excel is in the ability to zoom into an area on the screen in live view mode and fine tune the focus to razor sharpness.Overall I'm happy with this camera, it takes beautiful pictures, and is a pretty good bargain. While this camera lacks the features of its more expensive siblings, it has more than enough options to satisfy the casual photographer, and might even make a nice backup for the professional. This makes a good first DSLR, and in the very least allows for the amateur to experiment without the costs associated with film.

I've been digitizing old cassette tapes using this, since I misplaced what I used to do that before. I'm not a techy person, so I don't know how to get the crackly noise out of the music, but that's not what I'm doing it for anyway, so it works well for me.

Compare to GoPro!!4K video/16 MP photos are beautiful! Great sound recording and works under water with resistant case. Touchscreen is intuitive and responsive. Handy, easy to use remote control. WiFi syncs quickly. Great purchase!
