Pros good for beginnersgood price for DSLR
Cons battery life in liveview
Recommended it? Yes

I have always envied those that could take amazing photographs; observing these people has led me to the same observation: they use DSLR cameras instead of the easier to use point-and-shoot varieties.

I just bought this camera for my hobby and I'm amazed by this. The quality is amazing and you have many features to make your photos even better.
