General Comments

The 12xp represents REAL photography. If you truly wish to
learn photography then this is the way to go. No programs, no autostuf but a back to basics camera. It's cheap, it's durable and the lenses are excellent. It has a M42 mount which means you can get a lot of good and cheap lenses for it. There are even forums around the world to help you with this camera.
So... free support, a good camera, and it even has a TTL meter. Which, imho, is a good meter. The 12xp forces you to think about your shots and makes you think about photography. It is a great choice for any beginning photographer. It only has two bad things, it is heavy (all metal camera) and it has limited speeds. (B, 1/30th to 1/500th
