Canon EOS 800D Digital SLR Camera

  • Vari-angle screen has been useful.
  • The screen that pops out and turns around has been extremely useful when taking self portrait shots!

  • The 3" screen is big and clear with good resolution, highly recommended!

  • It has a SD slot for images, hdmi and usb for data transfer, so Bluetooth really shouldn’t be used as it is painfully long.
  • The D3500 comes with nice features such as a variety of special effects and wireless connection.
  • You can use the app to take photos. I had no problem connecting and downloading photos to my Android phone.
