Glad it helped. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you ! Really appreciate that.

How do you like it so far?

Thank you

Hey thanks for the comment Which coordinates are you referring to ?

Hey thank you ! Much appreciated glad it could help!

Hey man ! Much appreciated. I’m glad you like the corny jokes !(at least someone does)!! I love Arizona. Such a beautiful place -I tend to agree with your assessment on the camera. Great price but lots of compromises - Thanks again for your support

Hi there my friend. Thank you very much for the kind words! Glad you are enjoying the SX70..definitely a fun camera with an amazing zoom that is perfect for a vacation! Glad to have you onobard!

That’s great ! Thanks for your comment !

I will use it mainly for birding

Hi there. Thanks so much for the comment...!Best of luck with your new camera

Great. ! So glad the video helped you I always think it’s best to give real world examples. Enjoy the camera. It’s really fun

Did you buy it ? If so how was the battery?

Glad to hear ! Thanks so much for the comment - after you get it I have another video on my channel going into details on the operation of the camera if you’d like to check it out Good luck !

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Really appreciate it. Glad the video could be of help.

I'm feeling the same way. I was thinking to buy the p1000 but this camera I believe it offers what I need

@@SaraLawton I left this post some time ago, but to finish the story, I ended up purchasing the Canon SX70HS. I am extremely happy with it. Light, relatively small, quite straightforward to use and takes as good a pictures as I need. I am no professional photographer ;) The zoom is fantastic too - bloody amazing in fact :) Taking photos of things at night using the flash is again, good enough for me. Many pictures of the tame native wildlife at night, moon shots, etc. all fine. In summary, a fantastic little gem, for my needs. Cheers

Hey thanks for the comment - with an optical zoom so high I really never bother with any digital zooms- how do you find the quality ?

Thank you my friend! Appreciate your support all the way from Russia

@@techtoremember8096 Which camera is better to buy? The one with video, or nicon coolpix p1000 😁

P1000 is bigger heavier more expensive but better quality !

Glad to hear !

I was surprised how good you sounded from that 8 ft or so .I heard lips smacking .thanks

Hi there! This IS a great cam for zooming for sure. But not sure why you heard its bad for landscapes. It does have a decent wide angle if you stick to photos. And yes, once in a while I do get out of the city and try to find some other kinds of "wildlife" Thanks for your comment!!

@@techtoremember8096 youre right ..again . I am also elated about how good videos will be. Canon is zany with the choices and options ..but rather get 10 of these than one 6000 dollar cam!! You're stuff is great ..thanks subbed and will study all.

Thank you !

Hello, there, yes here is the link to the Canon advanced user menu: gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/7/0300033177/01/PowerShot_SX70_HS_Advanced_User_Guide_EN.pdf A few pages of that document I referenced in the video. Thanks so much for your comment!

@@techtoremember8096 THANKYOU SO MUCH! your video was really the best tutorial I have watched. Thank you for your time. P.S love your jokes in the video haha.

Hey. Thanks for the comment. To be honest there’s no comparison. The Sony is a way better camera. Better image. Better stabilization, better low light. Canon is lighter and cheaper. So it’s a trade off. Thanks again !!

Thank you !

Thank you !

Thank you ! That’s great to hear

Thanks

I would prefer the Nikon's longer reach and better picture quality!

@@techtoremember8096 Thank you ☺️

Hi there. Thanks for the comment. A tripod would definitely have given steadier footage but most people who buy this camera are using it casually and I wanted to show the results you can expect if using it without a tripod because in my opinion, this is how most people will be shooting. If Canon did a better job with the stabilization, I think this camera would show more promise. Thanks again.

Haha. Yes. The quality is far better.

@@techtoremember8096 Far better? most of the videos I've seen look pretty similar at least to me, I would be awesome if you could do a video comparing the video vs video and picture vs picture quality of the SX70 vs P1000 on the same day and on the same objects.

I ditched my Nikon p900 for the canon sx70 purely from a portability viewpoint - and I'm not disappointed. The 65x vs 80x optical zoom isn't such a big loss to me.

@@shethsa i use my Nikon p1000 to look at planets and the moon.

Yes it should be fine As long as there is pretty good lighting

​@@techtoremember8096Thank you

Hey there ! Much appreciated for the comment - to answer your questions- as the zoom increases, the autofocus does have a tendency to hunt a bit You can see from the video that the stabilization to me was the biggest disappointment- at high zoom it’s pretty shaky so I would say for critical work , I think you might be disappointed especially if it’s a fast moving subject. Thanks again

@@techtoremember8096 hey thanks for fast reply. I guess things get tricky when its zoomed out anything more than 20x. I m using a Nikon B700 and its has disappointing videos when zoomed out and tracking moving subject. Especially in sunrise condition against the sun the auto white balance fails to correct and subject becomes over exposed while in gray skies condition the subject remains dark and under exposed. And top it off the inbuilt mic picks up internal sounds during recording. Auto focus loses subject easily if its moving when zoomed out and auto stabilization does nothing much even in HD mode only. In your experience would you recommend for shooting video of moving subject in the sky, a Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 or a Nikon P1000? Thanks once again.

Hi I have not actually used the Panasonic model so I can’t say for sure but their contrast based AF was always a problem so my guess is the Nikons will be better !

@@techtoremember8096 thanks for the tip!

Hi! I have the same trip as you by the way coming up in September. A great spot for photography indeed. What I would recommend is try to avoid the temptation of using the longest zoom setting. Sometimes we feel we must use it because its "there" but in fact I have noticed a pretty significant degradation at full zoom. This is common with zoom lenses, especially ones like this which have such a long zoom range on such a small sensor, and to keep the price down, compromises must be made. So when you zoom in on those critters, try not to go to full zoom. Landscapes should be totally fine for the camera as they allow a lot of natural light in. I would suggest going full wide at 21MM to get the full advantage and try the panorama mode for shots as they can work great! Remember if you are shooting video, you will lose that wide angle in your landscapes so take plenty of photos in wide angle as opposed to videos. Good luck. Hope this helps.

@@techtoremember8096 What a coinsidence, we are going in September as well. We are really looking forward to it as so many people have told us how beautiful it is. Thank you for the info. I will try not to live by "have zoom, will zoom!"

Hey that’s great. Are you taking a tour or going on your own ?

@@techtoremember8096 We are going on our own with friends. Plan to hike and take it all in. First trip like this for our friends and they are like a couple of kids. Another reason I am hoping for some good shots, I always do a photo book of trips and want to do one for them from our time in Glacier and Banff. All my other photo books are from scuba trips using my Sealife 2000. I love the underwater photos it takes, but don't like what I have taken on land with it. That is why I got this one.

Ah ok. Great move. Smart to bring a dedicated camera instead of a cell phone. Have a great time and I hope the Sx70 serves you well. Be sure to practice with it a lot before your trip and experiment ! Best Of luck

Yes you can ! If you step back far enough and zoom you even get nice background blur

@@techtoremember8096 Excellent, thank you!

Thanks very much! Personally I think the FZ300 is a more consistent performer than the Canon. If you need the 1200mm zoom however the FZ300 will only get you half way there. If you need really an incredible zoom, then yes either the P950 or the p1000 are options (I have several videos on these cameras too). The P950 goes to 2000mm and is more manageable in terms of size and weight than the P1000. Its a bit more expensive than the Canon and Panasonic too, but I'd say if its within your budget and you don't mind a bit of extra heft, then you should consider the Nikons.. Otherwise the Panasonic still has great reach with 600mm and the images are surprisingly good. The Canon is good if there is ample light, but was a bit disappointed with the stabilization overall. Thanks for your comment.

@@techtoremember8096 thank you so much for your help! I went and bought the FZ 300, I’ve only taken two photos with it, just as a bit of a test and was very satisfied with those so far!

@johnprosser2142 great to hear ! I really hope you enjoy it and thanks for the update !

Hi I show many photo examples in the video so you can definitely judge for yourself. The camera has its flaws but if you’re using in good light then I think it’s a good value !

Dziękuję za informację ..Aparat raczej w dobrej pogodzie będzie użytkowany @@techtoremember8096

Literally any small canera bag will work The camera is pretty small

I wouldn’t unless they fix some of the issues

Hi unfortunately it can’t do that exactly but it has an interesting video snapshot feature The sx70 has way better video features however ! Like 4k video

Any kind with a standard 1/8” jack

I don't know about that specific Elgato item but the camera does have HDMI output so I would assume it should work. I would contact the manufacturer if you want to be certain, if this camera is compatible. (check website of Elgato or call)

I agree with you. The image quality on the camera is not the best especially when the lights get a little dim and especially when you’re at full zoom. I have not tested the Panasonic FZ 1000 but I would assume you’re going to get better results. Thank you for watching

@AnthonTech seems you and I both have been researching bridge cameras 😀. I'm definately liking the larger sensor of the fz 1000 and fz 1000 II, but think I'm leaning towards the fz 2500 if I can find one at the right price 😀

Yeah I’ve been hearing quite a bit on the Panasonic. I just got the Nikon p950 and am working on a review but I think I’ll look into the Panasonic too

Hello my friend. This is New York City Hope you enjoy the camera. Thanks for your comment !!

Hi. Yes if you google “canon xs70 advanced user guide “ you’ll find it !

@@techtoremember8096 Brilliant, many thanks. Despite the ‘old’ technology I love my SX70HS - thank you so much for alerting me to some of it’s features

My pleasure ! Thanks for the like

Sx70 is better than Nikon. Not as good as Sony

@@techtoremember8096 Wenn i Have The Sony rx10 Mark 4. buy the SX70 Just for The Zoom and WildLife Photography?

You definitely could ! It certainly was designed for that purpose

@@techtoremember8096 A and for teh Timelaps:) Love Youre Chanel. Greats From Swizerland:)

Thanks for your support. ! Love Switzerland beautiful country. Lots to photograph !

Hello. In 4k there is no slow motion. 120 fps is available in 1080p

Hello. The battery charges on a dedicated charger, not through USB!

@@techtoremember8096 video recording quality canon sx70 vs nikon p950 vs sony rx10 ?

Rx10 is the best followed by Nikon then canon in my opinion.

@@techtoremember8096 Of the 3 options, the best video recording RX10 ?

I would say so!

Yes. Near the end of the video I show you a test of the on-camera mic. Thank you

Yeah that’s the biggest weakness

@@techtoremember8096 The autofocus isn't really Sony quality, either. I'd say both my tiny DSC-HX99 and my DSC-HX400V have better autofocus than this.

Not really for sports. Not a camera designed for high speed shooting. Macro yes you can use it for

No. You want an rx10 IV

You mean like a football ? Lol

No issues. Battery life is pretty good

Hi! This camera is great for any kind of nature or bird photography The Panasonic does not have the zoom range the canon has but it does have a bigger sensor and you will get a better picture. So it becomes a matter of personal preference.

@@techtoremember8096 thank you for the help. I will go for the zoom lense option. I know I will lose some detail maybe, but the zoom lense will be more helpful I think . Thank you

My pleasure ! Thanks for your comment and best of luck
