Great camera for the price

(Nate - 10/19/06)

Disagree with the previous reviewer. you should never expect so much from a built-in flash on a DSLR camera, after all it is a DSLR. That why they built those External Flash Modules. and also with the stock lens, you can't really do that much.
This is a Great camera for the money, size, and functionality. if you know how to use it and what to expect from this camera. for outdoors the stock lens is ok, but for indoor and/or low light ccondition, you should be using a wider aperture lens and an external flash module. also twick the settings a little bit, don't expect the camera to do everything for you. It's a great Camera to learn on. it's awsome....
