Great Digital SLR for a beginner or a pro

byfunnytallguy Jul 26, 2008
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Battery life, low price, lots of settings but also takes great pictures on auto mode.
Cons Size and weight when compared to a point-and-click digital.
Recommended it? Yes

byjoshsparents Nov 1, 2008

Pros great pictures, easy to use, great value for price
Cons Only 3 focus boxes in the viewfinder, not as portable as a point and snap
Recommended it? Yes

I love this camera! I've enjoyed taking pictures with a point and snap (both film and digital) for years.  My husband decided it was time I take my hobby up a notch this past Christmas and surprised with me this camera & lens. I've taken about 6000 pictures since I received it Christmas morning... Read full review »
