Love it for my camera but one of the tools came off but other than that I love it

This is a great camera. I installed it under a second floor roof overhang where it gets a 270 degree view. It's at my weekend ranch house so I thought I would use it to look out for trespassers while I'm stuck in the city. It's great for the intended purpose. I have it set to send me an email and an image if it detects a vehicle.Turns out its great for watching wildlife as well.I set it up to do a patrol that does a wide view that pans slowly cross it's entire field of view so I can see what the weather is doing. It then pans down and goes in a little tighter and does another slow pan. Next it zooms in tight and pans to a a few key spots and lingers on each for a while. Running and watching the patrol has become part of my morning routine. The possibilities are unlimited, mostly.I keep it set at it's "Balanced" video setting. It's a little grainy but the video feed is smooth on my limited bandwidth. You can do a HI-RES playback if something happens that you want to seen in sharper detail. The largest SD card will hold almost a weeks worth of recordings.The uploaded image is a screen shot from a video clip of a couple of Axis Deer fighting over the water trough. A little dry this year. They are about 70 yards from the camera and this image is cropped pretty tight but is relatively clear.In addition to the 5x optical zoom it is possible to zoom in tighter when playing back recorded clips. My only complaint would be that it doesn't have more optical zoom and that when manually panning it moves pretty quick and sometimes overshoots the intended target.I have a couple of inexpensive cameras that cover the porches and areas I can't see with this one. I'm very happy with this one, I may get another one for the opposite corner of the house.

i have a 18 month toddler who is always on the go. i was getting frustrated with missing all the great pix with my point and shoot and had been wanting a SLR camera bc i had heard such great things about them. After reading many reviews online i finally decided to go for the canon rebel t3, and so far i could not be happier. it is very easy to use for a beginner and the pix have come out amazing! From action shots, to close ups very clear, crisp beautiful shots. i am really so happy with this purchase and highly recommend it-especially if you have very active kids.

Camera works great, the main thing I found was when tracking it only tracks left and right not up or down. It is plug and play and the online manual helps to figure out how to set it up.

I recieved this as a Christmas gift from my husband. It is a bit confusing, just because it offers so many wonderful features! Im not complaining. I finally have a camera that takes perfect pictures. All three of my kids play sports and I can take some great pictures of them running down the court without the blur.All in all...a great camera but I will need to take a class to figure out how to use all of the features.

I did a ton of research in buying this camera for my wife for a gift. She loves it. She is taking photography classes with it right now. It takes great pictures in the basic auto mode but has a ton of other features once you learn them. She hasn't used much of the video features so I can't comment on them. Her initial main use was trying to capture photographs of our children which we could never get with a point and shoot since they are too fast. It works great for that but has so many other features she has now become more interested in photography. Overall, great camera for a great price.

My wife wanted an upgrade from a point and shoot so she got it!. Camera takes great pictures right out of the box. Very small learning curve in auto mode. I hope she really gets more into photography to use all the features this camera offers. The price from Amazon was better than I could find anywhere else. Very happy with the purchase, product and service.

I cant wait to use this with my camera for family pictures!!!!!!!!
