What a steal of a deal

( - 7/17/06)

I have shot 35mm for 30+ years and own Minoltas, Canons, Yashicas, and Nikons. I never thought I could give up my 35mm's but now that I own this baby, I think I can (at least some of them.) I love the easy to learn functionality as well as the quality. Lenses are great and the on-board flash, for the most part, does the trick. I almost went Nikon or Canon, and would have been happy, but got the quality and saved the money too. I highly recommend this DSLR.
