If like me you were hesitating about moving into the DSLR market then hesitate no more. This camera is a hunmdinger and I was up and shooting in a matter of seconds. Very intuitive controls even for a novice the quality of the pictures are stunning, very clear crisp and sharp with a lovely natural colour. Don't expect to use the large 2.5 cm lcd screen to compose your shot you have to use the viewfinder. Don't expect to take video with this camera you can't. This is a Digital SLR and it sure feels like one. Very weighty in your hands and the rubber hand grip ensures confidence. The lenses that come with it will not disappoint and as it's a slr I can add lenses as I go. It doesn't come with a SD card so I got a 2 GB card meaning over 400 pictures at 10.4 mega pixels in JPEG. It also has a neat little RAW button on the side so you can switch without having to open the menu. Optional is the remote control and the direct power cable should you want to run it from the mains. It has a battery charger but I havent even used it yet.It also comes with some software which will allow you to view and alter your images. One other neat and invaluable function is the continuous shooting mode which is just so fast. Still hesitating?
