I Looooooooooove this camera, its my baby. If your thinking about getting this camera, GO FOR IT!!

Can any experienced users contribute a bit more constructive reviews about this model?

I did not get the kit, but I do use a Canon rebel XTi. I really do love this camera. on the auto settings, it is easily the most accurate digital I have used. It is easy to learn, and the software that came with mine is great for quick adjustments in RAW format as well as simple batch processing.

Back to the camera. I love the versatility and durability this onehas shown. True, it is not a professional body, but it has stood up very well to the nearly 20,000 photos I have snapped since I got it in March.

It has a wondeful feature called dust delete. So if you have that project coming up that absolutely MUST be sharp and clear, it takes a moment to set the camera to compensate for it.

I just bought this and i'm loving it. Has a lot of great features. I'm sure I'll have alot more questions and comments as I use it

I just go mine recently. This is a great tool for photographers, designers and traditional animation artisans alike. I can hardly wait to use this camera for animation-pencil tests and even final stop-motion claymation. The pictures I've taken so far are unbelievably crisp. I currently use a late model 5-megapixel Olympus at work for product shots as well as final photo shoots and compositing for packaging/print. This camera will be used likewise but at much better effect. Great tool at an affordable price. Digital is come to age even more so now.

this little thing is my baby I love her
so mch lighter then my old film camra and some of the opptions I got on it make my life a little easer

This is a great camera for any type of photographer. It gives you great looking photographs with the limitless options of a manual film camera.

The BEST camera I ever had ! Not that I had many of them(about 3 before this) :)
Love it's capabilities, the quality it provides.
I bought it in the "kit" package - body + 18-55mm lens. Not very keen on the letter but it's better than nothing, right ? Also bought the 70-300 IS lens - much better everything !

Excellent camera for both pros and shutterbugs. It's easy enough to use for the hobbyist and has great features for experimentation and making great pictures for pros. Lot's of lens options and most come with software that let you save custom settings to your camera. I got the camera body, lens and a 4GB high speed CF card for less than $600.

Wish I had the money for one of these bad boys!

It's a really great camera. I love that it's lightweight and easy to handle, not bulky at all, I can take it anywhere with me. I love that it can switch between fully automatic and manual, so it's just like using a film SLR camera, which is what I first learned to shoot on.

LOVE IT

I absolutely love this camera! I can take all the shots I need, the controls are easily accessible and over all the camera is lightweight and has low noise in the shutter. Once you master the controls, there is no excuse for missing another shot.

I LOVE this camera. i cant begin to tell you how upset I was when I first got it only because I had no understanding of SLR cameras and how to use a good lense. I've done the homework and the shots i get out of this camera are honestly priceless! Great camera!!
