Remember, It's An SLR

(Ron - 1/17/07)

This is an excellent camera. But, please remember: The lens makes the camera and this is not a point-and-shoot. To get the best pics, you are going to have to spend good money on additional lenses. Check out the "L" series, which is Canon's pro line. Also, you are going to have much better luck with cameras like this if you spend the time to learn the ins-and-outs of SLR use. Don't let manual scare you—experiment! If you are looking to take a bunch of indoor family-type pics, then this camera is probably not for you. But if you are interesting in stepping up to a DSLR, it is worth checking out (also see the very-similar Nikon).
