Incredible camera, a few issues with the bundle, but nothing I can't live with.
I bought this for a trip I have coming up so I could take some great pictures with features I don't have on my phone.For my first foray into SLR cameras I bought a Rebel 2000 19 years ago and loved the ability to manipulate my shots and came out with awesome photo's. This was before digital became usable and I used it alot. After my wife bought a digital camera some years later I found myself using the SLR less because the little digital camera was so much easier and more compact to take on outings without having to lug around equipment. Then smartphone made it even easier and the cameras on them have continued to get better. But I've always thought something was missing with my pictures.Fast forward to now and I decided to jump back into the world of amateur photography but my old SLR film camera just became too expensive to buy the film and get it processed. Time to but a new DSLR. Boy have I not been disappointed.The deal on bundles make it more affordable and this one had the 75-300mm lens I've always wanted included for a much cheaper price than I could buy it on its own. I chose this bundle because it came with all the right accessories and it had the small tripod which is more handy and I already have a large one. Adding a quick small issue that should take this down a half star. The mini tripod is worthless it does not hold the weight of the camera so the camera constantly pivots down the legs started popping out as well. All of the lenses and other accessories included make this bundle a great buy. The camera alone is $400 and the 70mm-300mm lens can run you up to $200. Add in in the Macro and telephoto lenses, plus all the other accessories and your easily saving several hundred dollars.The packing of the bundle was superb. There was no loose space in the box so nothing could be knocked around to break. Everything listed in the description was there. One minor annoyance was the memory card wallet was not a wallet, but a cheep plastic holder. Not very sturdy or easy to get card in and out of. I had to buy a better one to feel confident in keeping my cards organized and safe. I'm also having trouble with the Slave flash. It seems to work ok in the slave setting, but does not work at all in the camera shoe. I've tries every setting and can't seem to get it to work. It will flash on test and I've had minimal success using slave mode with the included bracket. But the included bracket is useless as it is not length adjustable and when attached the flash sits so close to the camera that you cannot hold it to use the controls. Maybe only useful on a tripod. If anyone has suggestions as to how to make the Vivitar flash work on the camera please let me know. From some of my research it looks like this is a problem of compatibly. Even the Vivitar site does not list the Rebel series as compatible. Maybe Focus Camera LLC should look into this and find a better flash to include with their bundle. The extra battery and travel charger are extremely slow to charge. I've only used that charger twice, but the Canon charger included does a much better job, even with the extra 3rd party battery. I also bout a few better SD cards (cheep as anything now) and an upgraded carrying case. The Canon case in the bundle isn't quite big enough to hold all the lenses and accessories without everything being crammed into it. It can be hard to find what you need when you need it fast. If you only carry the basics and leave some of the lenses at home, it fine. But just not big enough to store everything in this bundle.On to the Camera. There's been a whole lot of relearning on my part as there are alot more features with the T7 DSLR than my old Rebel 2000. More settings and more options. For beginners I would recommend getting a better user guide like one of the Dummies books. I personally like David Bucsh's series on the different cameras and on how to use them effectively.That said, other than using all the manual settings, the Auto settings work fantastic. With multiple options to choose from, taking a great picture in almost any setting is easy using the different Auto options available. Using a good guide and trial and error you can learn to use which option is best for every you encounter, be it night shots, still photos, or action shots. All of the included lenses make taking just about any kind of picture you want a snap.One thing I've had to learn the hard way is to not use the LCD viewer to take your pictures. It takes a long time to focus and you've likely lost your chance to take the picture you want by the time the camera is ready to go. Using the view finder is much quicker and you'll get better results.The ability to connect the camera to various device like your phone is amazing. I just connect it with NFC, (extremely easy to set up) and download pictures on the camera right to my phone and I'm able to post them online tight away without having to wait on getting back to a PC to download them off the SD card. Using a phone to control the camera is not that functional as you lose auto focus and the ability to customize your shots. This is likely a great feature if your taking landscape photos on a tripod and don't want to sit behind the camera all day.Overall this is a great camera for the beginner or intermediate photographer. I'm extremely happy with it and can't wait to use it on my trip. The bundle is a great deal and has everything you need to get started on your adventures right.

Great bundle deal
Nice bundle. Camera worked and had a box. Camera worked well and the corel codes were for older programs but still nice to have. Purchased another T7 on here from different seller and pictures were all blurry. This seller seemed to be selling new and authentic item with box that had matching serial numbers. Refurbished items can be purchased from canon so buyer beware. Recommend this seller and love this camera. Great buy, can't wait to use officially.

Super Easy for Beginners, Amazing for Experts!
Never had a class or practice outside of camera phones. These pics were taken within 2 weeks of receiving the camera. Very easy to use the auto mode and point and click for amazing pictures and it gets better the more you learn to use it!

Love this camera!!!
This is my first real camera, so I am a beginner. I use my iPhone camera and have used a point and shoot in the past. I feel it’s super easy to use and ive just been playing around taking photos (Shown under images) of everything and learning. . I honestly haven’t even read the Manuel YET 🤦🏻♀️ I did watch YouTube Tutorial videos on getting started and on using Manuel settings, also got photography tips on YouTube and Pinterest.

No I sent it back. I was disappointed that the software that was shown with the camera was not included. I appreciate the ease in returning the camera.

Love it..
I'm in love with my camera. The picture quality is amazing, the settings are easy to use. I'm shooting everything in RAW and manual and the picture quality is out of this world.12/10/19I just found out that my camera does not recognize off the market speedlite. It will work with genuine canon flashes but wont correspond with any other.

How to focus your shot, and which lens to use.
I had to learn a new camera language, which was okay, as I was willing to learn and improve my photo ability. The more I take shots, the easier it is to remember the important steps for that perfect picture.
