That's probably more related to you paying 5x more, and not the brand...

Yes, but I feel cheated that Canon put their name on such a terrible product.

I would be fine with no-name Chinese camera for the same amount of money, which by the way would have 4K and a hotshoe mount.

Panasonic makes a roughly $200ish camera, too, and it's also... "not great". 4x optical zoom, 720p, 230k display.
