She wanted something which would take a great quality photo of the things going on around her. Set to full automatic - where all the bells and whistles should really show their stuff - this camera regularly overexposes ordinary daylight photos. I bought this camera for my wife who is an avid amateur family photographer. The problem with this camera is the pictures. She is an ordinary person who wanted to have fun taking really good family photos. Sorry folks, it just is not the case.
The promise is that with all it's quality craftsmanship and high tech features you will get real bang for your buck in picture quality.
There are plenty of super-portable, feature loaded minis to choose from these days.
And the auto focus is nothing to brag about.
And after all is said and done what else do you really care about.
It routinely washes out indoor shots with its own flash.
Any one of them can take a decent snap shot.
From there, this camera is a big step up in price and a big step down in portability.
My wife is not a photographer.
This camera was a huge let down.
As it goes with cameras, it's usualy more about the photographer than the camera. This camera is fantastic for it's price range, and it can perform with much more expensive cameras in many instances with a small amount of know-how. When it comes to dslr cameras you can't go wrong with a canon. It's a pity though that this model has no hard drive, so it's not possible to take video clips.which would've been nice
This camera is easy to use, I bought this so I could take pictures of my Grandchildren. The first 2 weekends I had this camera I shot over 200 pictures. One is a brand new Granddaughter and catching her smile with my point and shoot just did not work as well as my 35mm Konica SLR. With film processing becoming very difficult to find in my area, I decided to go with a digital SLR. It was nice to be able to shoot with a SLR again. I would recomend this to anyone who used a 35mm SLR and wants to go digital
It really is an easy to use camera for beginners. I did so much research I thought my mind would explode w/ all the info. I am taking pictures like a pro. But after going over all the info and reviews ect. I bought the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi. I don't have to use the extra settings, but when I do they are easy to understand and use. I am soooo happy w/ my camera and would never trade it for another.
A couple of years ago, I decided to step up from point and shoot cameras and looked into taking a photography class and getting a "real" camera. I quickly replaced the kit lens with a Tamaron I fell in love with. I don't want to be a professional.
Absolutely adore it. This intro priced camera does all of that and more. This is the camera I purchased.
I just like to tinker. I've taken more pictures in the past 2 years than I ever have.The auto modes are fantastic (I realize this is an older model, one day perhaps I can upgrade), but even more important - it's easy to switch to manual as well. This is a great camera to learn on it and I've managed to take some really great photographs with it.I'm no professional.
I won't get into the technical side of it, enough Amazon reviewers have done that and you can certainly read the product description, but if you are looking to get into photography and need a starter camera, this is the one I would recommend.If I had to do it all over again, I would probably choose to not get the kit lens and purchase one locally where I can play with it. But lenses are always such a personal thing to me.
