| Okay, so this camera is an upgrade for me from | | | | primarily...I would perhaps recommend a less |
| my 3 year old rebel. There was absolutely nothing | | | | expensive Canon DSLR like the XTi or other with |
| wrong with the rebel but my dad looooved it and | | | | a more expensive lens. |
| wanted it, so offered to buy it from me. on the | | | | 2. The kit lens. Not my favorite. I bought it |
| spot. so of course i sold it! I read all the reviews | | | | because I thought with the Image Stabilization |
| of all the cameras and decided that there were | | | | that it would be better but it is a bit slow in |
| JUST enough added or upgraded features on this | | | | focusing, tends to get kinda iffy about where it is |
| camera to warrant it's pricetag. | | | | focusing sometimes. (you can have the red |
| Pros: | | | | blinking light all lined up and STILL not be in focus). |
| 1. Huge, Enormous, Gigantic lcd viewer. Truly | | | | Also, it is not great for low light situations. All of |
| awesome resolution for checking your shots right | | | | that said, it is an awesome lens for outside on a |
| away. | | | | sunny day. |
| 2. Weight: feels pretty light to me. | | | | 3. This one is actually my own fault. 15 mega pixal |
| 3. Black and white option. nifty. avoid post | | | | photos? ARE ENORMOUS! They are like 6 meg |
| production conversion | | | | apiece and that means you have to do some |
| 4. Easy to use, just pull it out of the box and | | | | post production work shrinking them to send |
| start playing. (my two and a half year old can hold | | | | them to grandparents and friends. and uploading |
| it and take a picture on auto) | | | | to photo sharing sites like Shutterfly? takes a |
| 5. This kinda goes along with number 1, but the | | | | while. plan to plug in and walk away for some |
| manual setting numbers show on the lcd (that is | | | | time if you have more than about 20 pics. |
| huge) and they are big, so you can reference | | | | So this may sound negative but i love this camera |
| them quickly and accurately. i actually prefer this | | | | in real life. it's easy to use and almost always |
| over the tiny screen above the shutter button on | | | | gives me great photos. my bottom line is this |
| the 50d. | | | | though: unless you NEED 15 mp, opt for |
| Cons: (i had to think hard on this one) | | | | something less expensive and get yourself a little |
| 1. It's a bit pricey. I am just being honest. for | | | | 50mm lens to go with it. |
