She wanted something which would take a great quality photo of the things going on around her. 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. Set to full automatic - where all the bells and whistles should really show their stuff - this camera regularly overexposes ordinary daylight photos. From there, this camera is a big step up in price and a big step down in portability.
This camera was a huge let down. My wife is not a photographer. And the auto focus is nothing to brag about. And after all is said and done what else do you really care about. I bought this camera for my wife who is an avid amateur family photographer. Any one of them can take a decent snap shot. Sorry folks, it just is not the case.
She is an ordinary person who wanted to have fun taking really good family photos. The problem with this camera is the pictures. There are plenty of super-portable, feature loaded minis to choose from these days. It routinely washes out indoor shots with its own flash.
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. 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 As it goes with cameras, it's usualy more about the photographer than the camera. When it comes to dslr cameras you can't go wrong with a canon.
The first 2 weekends I had this camera I shot over 200 pictures. With film processing becoming very difficult to find in my area, I decided to go with a digital SLR. I would recomend this to anyone who used a 35mm SLR and wants to go digital This camera is easy to use, I bought this so I could take pictures of my Grandchildren. 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. It was nice to be able to shoot with a SLR again.
I am soooo happy w/ my camera and would never trade it for another. It really is an easy to use camera for beginners. 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 did so much research I thought my mind would explode w/ all the info. But after going over all the info and reviews ect. I am taking pictures like a pro.
But lenses are always such a personal thing to me. I just like to tinker. 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. This is the camera I purchased.
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. 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'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 intro priced camera does all of that and more.
