Side by Side Comparison of: Canon

I really love this camera. Everything that came with it works perfectly and the photos I've taken are pretty good.

If you already know you want this model of camera then this kit is great deal. It's cheaper than buying the body and lenses separately. If you are new the world of SLR like I am then I think this is a good choice. This is an entry level SLR with "only" 18 megapixels but compared to the point and shoot and smartphone pics I've taken before it's astounding. The auto modes are as easy to use as any point and shoot, but with the aperture and shutter priority modes you gain a lot of creative control without that much difficulty. And of course there's a manual mode to have full control over everything. I use manual mode to take long exposures for astronomy. I also do lot of wildlife photography and the telephoto lens is fantastic for that. After just a few weeks I've gotten compliments on the bird photos I've taken. To really explore all the features this camera has though I highly recommend getting full sized book. The tiny black&white manual that comes with the camera sucks.The accessories in this kit are hit and miss but since the kit is still a good deal without them I can't take a star off- The carrying case is too small, has an awkwardly short shoulder strap, annoying velcro attached partitions, and a zipper has already broke. Throw this out and get something better.- The mini tripod is a good idea in principle. You could set your camera on ledge and get a steady shot without all the hassle of a large tripod. But unfortunately it can't support the weight of the telephoto lens. The tripod will just droop forward as soon as you let go. That's too bad because I need a tripod most often when I'm using the telephoto.- The full size tripod seems a little cheap and wobbly but it gets the job done- The flash is just a slave flash which means the camera can't account for it so you'll have to adjust the exposure manually to compensate for it. The canon also has a built in pop up flash but if you plan to do a lot of flash photography it's probably worth buying a metered flash attachment.- The the wide angle and 2x lenses can be screwed on to the end of your canon lenses to give you some more options but they are pretty darn cheap and poorly effect image quality. I would not use them unless I had to.- The filters are good. I use the polarizing filter a lot when shooting outside and I tend to leave the UV filters on to protect the lenses from the elements.- USB adapter was a great thing to include since most computers don't have an SD card slot.- The included SD cards are fine but I bought a 64gb high speed card because it's only $20- The shutter release cable is a must have when you shoot with a tripod. It also lets you lock the button down for continuous shooting or long exposures.- The screen protector is pointless. It's impossible to apply it the screen without having distracting bubbles in it. But hey lots of people put those stupid things on their phones when the screens are scratch proof as is.I wish the kit came with an extra battery. It's hard to find non counterfeit(dangerous) batteries for a good price. But so far I've never ran out of juice while out shooting for the day.

Awesome camera and bundle for this price, especially with getting two different zoom lenses. The T5 takes spectacular pictures (attached are a few macro shots that I took on the first day we got the camera). We owned the previous model Rebel which used the larger CF card and would have still been using it today except the CF card holder broke internally (known issue), so glad the new T5 uses the smaller SD card instead. All of the accessories were nice except the large tripod, it seems very cheap and fragile so we just put it back in the box and won't be using it. I would highly recommend this camera and bundle to anyone that enjoys taking high quality photos.

First time buying a DSLR camera and I have to say it's very easy to use. Went on YouTube to find out how to use the camera's full functions. Still learning but I have to say I'm very happy with it

****I'm a Film Student so keep that in mind as you read this.This is a really great starter kit. Obviously the camera is really quality and everything that comes with it is great to start you off. Everything arrived really neatly packaged and all the packaging was in great condition (there didn't seem to be any rough handling).The lenses are nice and it's always a good idea to have at least two different lenses to start off with. These two are the most common so it's great to have practice with them.The lens extensions (the wide angle and telephoto lenses) are really nice quality and attach to the lenses really well. The same applies to the filters. Each external lens comes with its own little drawstring bag for protection, and the lenses come with a case.***The camera bag*** is kind of small, but I'm able to comfortably fit everything in this bundle in it. However, I use all of the side pouches, and I wouldn't be able to fit anything else in it. So if you have more lenses or accessories, you'll definitely want a bigger bag. But again, as a starter kit, this bag is made of heavy and durable material and will be able to hold everything you buy with this package.The memory cards aren't very big, only 8 and 16 GB, but it's always nice to have extra SD cards on hand, especially as a cinema student.The tripod isn't the most durable, but again it's always better to have your own tripod, even if it's kind of flimsy and for a starter kit, it's nice enough. However, the tripod bag is made of really thin material, so if you want to protect your tripod, I'd invest in another bag.I haven't had much of a chance to use the flash or the shutter control, but they seem to be kind of cheap. Once again, though, if you look at this as a starter kit, they're nice to be able to practice with.The SD Card reader is also really nice to have, just in case you come across a computer (*cough cough* Apple desktop) that doesn't take SD Cards, you don't have to borrow one from someone else.So overall, this obviously isn't the most professional or highest quality kit you can buy, but if you're just starting out with a DSLR camera and looking for practice, this is a fantastic place to start.

I love my Canon Rebel T5! I am an enthusiast learning and advancing through digital photography. This bundle package was a good choice for me. I have been taking digital photography for over 8 years, but I was using Canon Power Shots and decided this year to make the right choice into DSLR cameras. At first, the amount of functions and buttons scared me a bit, but with a lot of study and practice, my understanding has increased leaps and bounds.Enough about me, about the Rebel T5 bundle package.1) The camera is great. If you are new to DSLRs, you should get this package. I understand that there are other higher end models such as the 7D Mark II, 6D, and 5D Mark III, but unless you are a professional photographer, it can be difficult to justify the extra cost just to have the most expensive camera. First learning how to control shutter speed, aperture, ISO, evaluative metering, lighting, file size types for prints, and white balance all goes a long way towards one's education on digital photography. The 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses were good addition to the package. Keep in mind, that although these lenses will more than likely blow out the quality of your cell phone and tablet cameras, these lenses are basic models and still fail in comparison to the "Red Ring" lenses.2) The two SD Cards were good, but never used them because I bought a 64GB. My preference3) The Vivitar Flash was subpar, so I bought the 270EX II4) The Remote Control is good add on, just not wireless5) The bag was okay, but too small because of other camera equipment that I now have. I purchased the Canon back pack for $35 and use the bundle bag as extra storage6) The mini tripod was okay until I purchased a battery grip for the T5, let just say that the camera weighs too much7) The Bower Tripod is garbage, it is made out of the cheapest material. In addition, it is very shaky and if you lift the tripod head for vertical shots, the camera will fall over with the tripod. (I caught mines before crashing to the floor) However, I will say that the Bower Tripod actually has good functions, such as the fluid system, long handle and adjustable head for both vertical and horizontal shots, but poor quality. The lens filters are okay, but there should be one whole complete version instead of four different versions. I have lens filters for other lenses, but I not going to keep switching out lens filters for specific purposes. They only fit 55mm diameter such the lenses in your kit only.8) The two Vivitar ‘macro’ lens add on were unnecessary, so I put them away.9) All the other nick knacks were cool to have in case of emergency like Q-Tips and glass fluid.At the end of the day, I absolutely love my Rebel T5! Yes, I could spent a few hundred dollars more for the T5i or 60D, but I thought that enhancements such as Vari Angle LCDs, Digic 5 Processor or Wi-Fi was splitting hairs just to 'show off' that I have the best camera. Despite certain camera snobs out there, the Rebel is a fast, strong, and powerful entry level DSLR camera under $550 dollars. Yes, I will eventually graduate to a higher end model, but I have not have been disappointed with this camera, nor do I feel slighted about not having an ISO of 51,200.I hope you enjoy my review.P.S. If you noticed the 'noise' on my photo attachments, I took the shots with iPad camera since this is only DSLR camera I have for the moment.

This is an awesome entry-level DSLR. It works really well. If you already have this camera, there's a lens that is less expensive than the one Canon makes and is a really cool lens. It's a 1.8 aperature lens. It's fixed at 50mm. YONGNUO YN50mm F1.8 Standard Prime Lens Large Aperture Auto Focus Lens For Canon EF Mount Rebel DSLR Camera , with lens Pouch , UV filter , cleaning clothI have that lens and it works perfectly. I strongly suggest that you check it out.

I bought it as a gift for my Mom who had a 35 mm rebel. This camera uses the same lenses she already had and that was a very important selling point. It it easy to use, relatively simple to use, but has many great features. I am happy I got it and my mom, is enjoying it very much.

Just starting the learning process and love the functionality of the camera Picture quality is excellent so far as I have tried.Very happy with this purchase.

Arrived quickly, such a wonderful camera, fits all needs

This is a great little camera, and would be a fantastic choice for someone who is new to DSLR. I learned how to use 35mm SLR first, so it was an easy transition to digital.Exposure (f-stop/aperture) ISO, focus, shutter speed, and white balance are all able to be controlled manually on manual mode. At 18 megapixels, it shoots very pretty stills, and even with the included lens I can achieve a soft background.I bought this camera specifically to shoot video, and it does make a sharp and pretty image. That having been said, there are some drawbacks as this is primarily a still camera. It can only write files as large as 4gb before automatically stopping recording. I haven't found any way to make it continue without manually restarting. This is only a minor irritation and easily enough corrected. I use it as the main camera for the close-up when I video my dad's church services (www.godtel.org, any of the recent videos will have HD footage shot by this camera). Since I know when I'm going to be cutting to another angle, I just reset this one while it won't be up and problem solved.I soon hope to get better lenses to go with it, but as far as I can tell, this is the best bang for your buck for a starter DSLR with full manual controls.

You're getting a great camera have had it for 2 weeks now. Amazing shots and once you get some practice in upgrade the lens and you'll be blown away. I'm pretty sure the lens will fit the t5i also so when you upgrade you'll have those lenses but don't quote me on that I'm still new to this. I'm happy I have a new hobby and can now take great picture on my family trips. All in all yes buy this over a Nikon the sensor is more advanced and can pick up light better from what my friend that's a pro photographer has told me.

I'''m going to try my best to cover everything that i feel is important. The camera itself ii fabulous! Canon really made a great product. I am just getting back into photography, so this package was perfect. The back up memory cards really come in handy. The only thing is I didn't format them in the begining and had an issue with 1. Now i formatted my currentnone and it is great. The bag is good quilty, but I bought the back pack one for better convience for me. Getting to lenses in this package also has be AMAZING! love having the two! As for alot of the other stuff, I still have to get use to using all of it. My only recommendation is google everything you get to know how to use it if you don't already. Tjenonly reason i gave it 4 was because of the formating of the memory cards.Love my Camera!

So many accessories, so overwhelming. I'm finally easing into learning how to work with this camera after years of point and shoot 35 mm cameras. I work in a museum, have recently started curating, so I needed to record what I've been doing for portfolio material. I am still unsure how I'm supposed to attach the Vivitar lenses, don't know what they attach to, and I don't think I'm going to be using the filters anytime soon, but I suppose I have time to learn. I noticed that Nikon has something like a flash drive that one can plug into their DSLR cameras that acts as a wireless transmitter for uploading. I would really like to see an accessory like that, rather than the smaller tripod and care kits. Gave the camera a workout visiting two museums in a single day and taking nearly 200 photos in the course of the afternoon. So far, so good. Looking forward to learning to play with the apature et al...

Overall a great starter camera and kit. The main things here are the included 300mm zoom, decent camera bag, and of course the kit lens. The kit lens isn't great, but it's effective for casual photography. I would highly recommend getting a "nifty fifty" to compliment this camera.

Some things to keep in mind about the t5: First, it is not high end. It has relatively low resolution. Again, find for starting out. It's also a bit blurry, but not terribly so. Obviously, in this range, both camera and lenses lead to some significant chromatic aberration. Next, it is NOT a good camera for video. It simply does not autofocus while recording. While it's a very minor quibble, unlike higher end models, the t5 does not have an articulating screen, so those low-down shots are going to require you to physically get down low.

The included accessories are mostly sub par. The tripod is very wobbly, and I've yet to risk using the tabletop one. The converters are quite poor quality as well. The flash is okay on a pinch, but it requires full manual and isn't all that powerful. The lens cleaning solution and cloth are useful but you'll want a microfiber cloth to finish the job or it'll get all streaky. The lenses are about what you expect in this price range. The kit lens has a plastic mounting ring and the zoom is fairly low quality, but it's inexpensive. Also, your probably going to want a nice fast class 10 card, somewhere around 64gb.

Altogether a really good starter kit, but bear in mind the limitations of the camera and accessories. Easily worth the price, but don't expect miracles.

Loved the camera! Very easy to navigate and easy to learn!
The whole package was great! Only problem was the camera stand, it broke as soon as I took it out. But other than that, I love the quality of this camera.
Attached are pictures that I took using the camera!

Great setup for beginner's that wanna learn how to take amazing photo's using manual settings. I have to say auto setting pictures leave something to be desired, but when I go into manual mode I can take unbelievable pics. I would say that the zoom lens is so fun to use! For the price you cant beat this setup. 4/5 stars because camera bag is too small to fit all the accessories included.

I like this however it was not WiFi compatible and for the price that was a bummer. But the pictures taken were amazing.

The camera is like new. The instructions are a little confusing. There is a table of contents but the subject picked seem to send you somewhere else. I wish a memory card had been included to get started.

A good simple camera.Lots of features, not frills. Takes nice photos.I'm using this in a year-long outdoor time-lapse project. The camera is in a weather-proof box, it runs 18 hours a day, and it is working perfectly so far. I have lots of experience with T2i cameras, and Canon pro cameras (5D III, etc.). This one has all the basic features and none of the things I don't need.

super pleased with this item looks brand new, couldn't fine a scratch on it, works very well. i am very very happy with it so far, in fact every item in the kit was like new, would buy again.

Good entry DSLR for the price. But I would recommend the Canon SL1 over this T5. The SL1 is smaller, similar functions, but with touch screen and easier to work with control buttons and set up. Just my opinion.

A great value dslr for beginners.Pro1. Great value. Even better if you get T3 which I can't tell the difference.2. Light and compactCon1. Low resolution on LCD display. You might think it's something you can sacrifice for low $$ but it totally isn't!I'd much rather get refurbished T3 or T5 directly from canon. Right now refubished T5 is only 299. THATS CRAZY!

I have had this camera for several months now and am shooting in manual. I love the package. The two canon kit lenses are good for learning. I plan to purchase a 50mm lens with a f/1.4 in the next few months. The other two lenses that arrived with the camera are not very useful. My tripod arrived broken, which is disappointing because I would use a tripod a lot in my home studio. I was hoping to make do with the tripod in this package before I invest in lighting and a heavy duty tripod. I don't use the little tripod, so I don't have a lot comment on that product. The little tripod did show up operational .The bag and strap work fantastic. I can fit everything I need to carry besides the tripod in the bag when I go out to shoot landscapes. I got a smaller bag to just carry two lenses when I don't need a lot of gear. I haven't found the external flash in this package to be very useful since it can't rotate. This makes it hard to bounce the flash off of the ceiling and wall and such. Overall I think this is a very good package, especially if you don't want the rotating/touch screen the Canon T5i/T6i has. I would purchase this product again, but made sure my lens auto focused correctly. I would have given this camera package a 5 if I could figure out how to ask for a replacement for the parts that are broken.

camera was fine but the camera bag's zipper was broken. I tried to return it, but the return window had expired.I didn't open it and examine it closely upon delivery until our wedding anniversary three weeks later. the zipper on the camera bag was damaged and wasn't noticed until it's first use. company refused replacement because of the return window was over and suggested I contact the manufacturer which is a real pain. I will end up purchasing a bag from a different company.

Is okay, the battery does not last long at all, and the bag it comes with was cheap for such an expensive camera. My friends Nikon is a few years older and we compared them and I know I should have bought a Nikon, now. There is a difference in quality of picture, I was shocked we both take pictures for a small Co. we all compared and well I will have to say using both I was not impressed and this is Amazon feedback and they warned me it was controlled. If this gets to the public I'll know then.

I though that all the equipment would be canon come to find out that only the 2 lens were canon I was very this appointed even the flash was off brand.You should make sure that people know this be foe they.But I really love the canon.Thank You.

All of the Canon equipment is top notch. The extras are some lenses that are available on amazon for $10.00 The bag is not quite big enough and from the same company as the lenses. Xit, I have not heard of them. A better deal is the $499.00 bundle from Amazon. Save your money, get the smaller bundle for $499.00

The camera works pretty well easy to use however the battery it came with is defective. We have only been able to take 3 pictures with it because it dies after a couple of minutes.

Takes great pictures but I needed it for video. After a lot of research I found that at 1080p it will kick off the recording at 15 minutes. This is because of some BS trade laws or something. You can record at the lower resolutions for up to 30 minutes, but if you plain on making a movie or something these are not the cameras for you.

Returned it, was good, but I meant to order the T5i it takes several shots at once it cost about $200 dollars more but so worth it

This camera is good for someone like me, who doesn't need anything spectacular. However, I bought it to shoot video, and planned to use an external mic since the internal mic on any DSLR is not sufficient. I was horrified when I discovered there is NO POSSIBLE WAY TO USE AN EXTERNAL MIC. That thing that looks like a mic jack is actually for a remote control. I would think that is a key feature that I should have known before purchasing but I guess not. So for anyone who wants to shoot video, go with the Nikon D3200, D3300, or D5200. They have similar specs and similar pricing, but also are compatible with external microphones.

It is an entry level Canon DSLR. It gets the job done for the entry photographer learning the basics.

Don't get me wrong I really enjoy this camera, however the T3i is a much better camera for only $50 more, and for that reason I kind of regret not buying the T3i.

Good camera but all the pictures i take have a black speck in the picture. tried different lens's but didn't work

I would not recommend this to anyone because of few reasons.

1. Camera, better save some money and get the Canon T5i which is tremendously better than T5 with just 100 extra dollars. MOre details here: [...] (In fact, the bundle has things which you don't need therefore, its questionable whether you need a bundle at all or not.)
2.Tripod - The tripod is not durable at all and has one of the lowest quality possible, period.
3. Filters - They are just waste of money.
4. The camera bag - It doesn't have a zipper, therefore it is not water protected at all. Almost wasted my camera because of that.
5. Hi-Speed SD USB Card Reader - Low quality, messed up my 128GB sd card within a month.
6. Super wide angle and 2X telephoto lense addons - They just give a weird vignetting to the pictures, you can basically see the lens borders which just mustn't happen.
7. Flash - Not necessarily needed (Up to you) since T5 has its own.

This camera took great pictures at first but then pictures started getting fuzzy and now the camera won't display an image through the view finder or the screen. Not sure what the problem is..

The focus was horrible with either lens. Couldn't get good pictures of eagles in flight or anything at a distance. The zoom is terrible

The camera case was small - barely holds the camera with lens attached. So now I have to find one that holds all accessories. Other accessories were not all Canon accessories. I just came from intense 2 day camera course and found out that the tripod that came with the kit would not support my camera, as too lightweight legs to hold the weight of camera with a lens on - and if it tipped over the lens or camera would be damaged. The EF 75-300 mm lens is only good to be used outside, and the 2.2X HD lens can only be used for specific items; filters are useless if you have all the ISO, AP and shutter speed correct. The short 18-55 mm lens is the cheapest and should have a hood to keep light off the lens. The flash is a stationary one so cannot be moved to other angles, again not what should be used with this camera. So I was extremely disappointed to find out that my kit was not as great as I thought (as an inexperienced photographer), and most items useless to me.

The "Kit" didn't come with the supposed charger for the battery. Which is what I paid for!

Not really taking very clear pics, I was expecting it to take much clearer pictures than my cheap Panasonic FZ35 but it's far from the cas, pretty disappointing

The camera itself is amazing. I bought a certified refurbished, however, and I'm already having pixels out in the camera. Very disappointing, as I use this daily for vlog and social media platform. The camera - yes! The refurb - never again. I did not purchase the warranty plan-that was my bad for certain. This camera also does not auto focus in the video mode.

got my camera and literally as soon as i opened it i realized it wouldn't read my SD card, so i bought a different one and it still wouldn't work. everything else works fine except for the fact i can actually take pictures :,)adding on to this, i spoke with a representative and im now returning the camera and buying another.

If you can spend more buy something better

It is a camera for starters but it can't be compare even with an old Canon EOS T1i.If you really want a good price camera go for at least a EOS Rebel T5i.

This camera model from Canon does not have the Driver capability to support the use of a remote to control the recording function of the camera. This product also came with a remote. I was very disappointed, after researching, that this model doesn't even support taking pictures with the remote. My biggest question is... Why sell a camera with a remote if the camera doesn't support the capability?

Started off on a bad note. No tripod in the box and no screen protectors. Issued a refund for missing items. I now have to run around my city looking for a tripod.

Tripod broken upon delivery. Photos4less will not respond to emails.

they send a macro lens and wide angle lens that DO NO AND WILL NEVER FIT THE Rebel T5😡👎🏿they are putting in cheap crap that doesn't work and letting you think you got a good deal! never buy anything from Amazon sold by a second or third party!

Camera does not work properly, unable to get a replacement from seller – so don’t really have an opinion on how it works. Camera bag smells really bad, and all the accessories were not worth it – very cheaply made it seems. Very disappointed.

0 customer service. I tried to return the camera (because it doesn't have the external mic feature that I so desperately need) and they have never responded to my attempts at contact. Now I have a camera that doesn't even work for what I need it to do!

So sad to have to return this product, but bundle didn't come with battery adapter or 15-33mm lens as promised.

This will be the last Canon you ever buy, and you'll wish you hadn't bought this one! I have a ten year old Elph that takes better pictures. Auto-focus is horrible and the colors are washed out. It feels cheaply made and apparently was cheaply made. Skip this model, you'll regret it if you don't!

Product didn't arrive complete. No battery. No charger. Arrived 3 days after the guaranteed delivery date. Rather than return it, wait on the refund, then re-order the product, I bought the missing items on my own.

First vacation with this camera and it died completely! And Canon will not stand behind it and repair it under warranty. Basically, we were caught outside in damp conditions (not rain, etc.) and the lens fogged over, then the camera completely quit working. It was quite obvious that there was a defect in the seals of the camera. The Canon repairshop (Newport News, VA) says that we got it wet (wrong) and they want to charge us more to fix it than I can buy a new one for. I have seen people with these same cameras taking pictures outside in the rain with no issues. It is not like it was submersed in water, it was not even out in the rain. The camera was defective and they want to blame the customer! If this is how Canon does business, don't deal with them!!

I got my camera set today and I can't even charge the battery. The charger does not work. I know the battery does cause it did turn on the camera. Very very very angry about this.
