Canon Camera Connect

I’ve been using the app for a couple months now and overall I’m happy with its functionality when it works. As others have mentioned the camera seems to connect and drop randomly. I found turning off the camera and waiting about 2 seconds and then turning it back on seems to fix that issue and it connects right away. I’m currently using this on an iPhone 7+ with a canon 80D. I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed this but when I download my photos from the camera they’re in JPEG even though I’m shooting in raw. When I open the app to view photos I see that they are raw files. I select the pictures I want and download them but when I move them from iPhoto to Lightroom mobile they are all JPEG. Not sure if this is an iPhone optimizing issue or not. I did test my theory using a third party camera app for iPhone that lets you shoot raw photos using the phones camera and imported those into Lightroom mobile and those remained in their raw format. I wish I could download the files to a folder vs only having the option to download to iPhoto to get around this issue. Other than that everything else seems fine. I like using the app as a remote shutter when shooting at night.

I rarely write reviews, but I have to echo the other reviews as of late. This app is just too difficult to navigate. Even for the expert it’s far too many steps. I came to the App Store to see if I maybe missed an update or if maybe this app was retired. Then I ended up looking for a replacement app. I used to love using remote live view. It came in extremely helpful on many occasions. Unfortunately, I’ve not even been able to maintain a solid WiFi connection to the camera from 3 feet away. The app tells me I should move closer. If I were any closer I could release the shutter myself. I have small trigger remotes for that sort of thing. That’s not the point of the app. The point of the app is to allow usage of the technology in a way that makes it more convenient to catch a great shot of landscape without freezing near to death. Or getting the shot of a certain bird if you’re a bird watcher. Great feature for nature photography. If it would work. I’ve kind of just given up on it.

This app is great if you don’t expect great things out of it. It is great at allowing you to quickly access and manage your photos through connecting with the camera. This feature helps me frequently when I want to quickly access the pictures I took at that time. You can download your pictures, even raw pictures, to your device and do with them as you please. I found that videos are typically unable to be played in this app which can be upsetting, but remember, keep expectations modest. Lastly, the live view photo feature is useful and can be nice as a remote trigger for tripod use and pictures that require stability. Not great for fast tracking or professional use though as it is finicky and not perfect in some ways. Overall, the app is great for light to moderate use and for those who like to immediately or conveniently access their pictures on their device without needing to take out the card from the camera. I’d give the app 4 to 4.5 stars, but it’s current ratings aren’t accurate so 5 it is. :)

Well in case you thought Canon could make a printer or scanner that worked without spending hours upon hours and frustration after frustration, think again. Canon has really made an idiot of themselves and their customers once again in the printer suicide family of products it appears that Canon, much like every other printer manufacturer since the dawn of humanity, has also failed to create a printer/scanner which offers even a solitary working function. Wait there more. Not only will you waste your time and money purchasing a canon brand printer scanner combo but you can download a dozen or so FREE apps to failing alongside thd corresponding printer scanner. These Canon Failed Products complement themselves quite terribly together. They’ve lowered the bar to even greater heights or should hypes because they sure do promote their nonworking garbage. Now I get to take this pile of trash back to the store for eighty dollars or maybe I’ll just tie it to my ankle and throw it over the nearest bridge; that seems like the only actual solution that Canon has left me with on this amazing Friday night. Thanks a lot for making ten broken apps and a scanner printer which has the sole Unique feature of NON-WORKING. -10 stars all day.

The only reason it’s not 5 star is because of how confusing it was to set up at first. I am using a canon rebel t6i. The options start on the M series, but for the most part the self set up is pretty easy. I am giving them a great deal of credit because it seems like they tried to accommodate a lot of models. Once I did get it connected though I was beyond a static and even squealed a little like a little girl. Right away I’m able to access the images on my camera and download them, or I can send them to social media right away and change the compression size to a JPEG format or smaller. However both the camera and the phone must be on Wi-Fi to utilize this, I know that there is a physical device that I can buy to make it so I could use this no matter what which is normally about $130 starting, but for somebody who didn’t want to spend that yet this is an amazing feature and has already amped up my photography business!
