5 out of 5 stars Fantastic DSLR!!   October 14, 2008
I bought this camera for my wife and she loves it. The camera has worked flawlessly, and takes amazing pictures. It was easy for her to figure out the basic features very quickly and she was taking fantastic pictures of our kids in minutes. I bought an 8 gb mem card with it thinking that she'd need a huge card since it has 12MP - she usually only uses about 2-3 gigs between downloads (500+ pics). Great starter camera, great price. Now to find a great deal on a zoom lens...


5 out of 5 stars Great camera, zero effort at packing   October 13, 2008
Marvelous feel to this body with the BG-E5 grip. It's now my only body, given its light weight, the quality of its images, and ease of use -- and I've had 30D's and a 1DsMKII.

HOWEVER, I can't recommend ordering this type of equipment from Amazon if you care about decent, or at least adequate, packing. There was one strip of 3 deflated plastic air bags in the shipping box, providing no isolation of the camera box whatever. Being that the shipping box was twice the dimension of the camera box, there had to be some serious rattling going on during transit. I feel fortunate the camera is functioning. In the future, I would order an electric toothbrush from Amazon, but I'm through with ordering camera bodies and lenses from them.



5 out of 5 stars Great solution for semi-professionals   October 13, 2008
A great DSLR camera with numerous customising options!

The 18-55 mm lens provided though is very very basic. I would strongly recommend buying an extra lens with higher capabilities.

Very well pleased with the camera. I will be even more pleased after a little more experience and time. Very good price and Amazon has been a pleasure to deal with!

I had high hopes for this product. Something I could finally afford and use to improve my limited skill set. But the first 3 pictures I took were completely out of focus using AF. When compared to my Kodak shot of the same scene, they were a dismal failure. This camera has a problem so back it goes.
