 ZachAndrews's recommendation | |
Takes photographs in RAW format
Focuses quickly and (mostly) easily
Vivid, high quality images
Good learning curve for an SLR
Powers on in a fraction of a second (No more missed opportunities)
Lacks a few features ( anti dust )
Some people may complain about the 6 mega pixel maximum image size
Canon focus is still better
This is a fantastic SLR for this price. I would recommend it more highly than the equivalent Canon which costs slightly more, and feels tiny in the hand. The lens that comes with it is fine at first, and there is plenty of room to expand, which you will probably want to do after a couple of months.
When spread across my whole 19" PC screen there is very little difference in quality between 6mega pixels and 2 mega pixels.
For each successive extra mega pixel captured the additional memory requirement will increase and the comparative increase in quality and dimensions will decrease. (What a horrible sentence). Take this into account before judging a camera on merit of image size.
If this is your first SLR, remember: the camera is only as good as you are. I myself have taken some pretty abysmal photos using this camera; the merit of digital is that you can delete awful photos before they embarrass you. With perseverance and a bit of learning you will be surprised at what this camera can do.
