4.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to use it! (Updated), March 4, 2009

I just received my camera - ordered on Thursday night - delivered on Tuesday...better than expected delivery time.

I'm only giving 4 stars because I haven't really used it yet but am very pleased with what I have seen so far. The kit is nice and with the extra lens - you can't go wrong. The case is very roomy and can be re-arranged to fit your needs.

This is my first d-slr - having reluctantly retired a very reliable Pentax 35mm film camera. Very excited to see what I can with with this.
My husband says I'll be taking even more pictures than I did before - if that's possbile.

Update - I took the camera on a family trip to Disney the week after receiving it. I took over 400 pictures! Great color quality and a lot of fun to use. The 200mm zoom is awesome...I was able to get some great shots during Fantasmic even with being so far away.

A couple of downsides though - the strap is positioned on the top of the camera. I think it would hang better if the strap was positioned on the back. I had trouble with the camera bumping things while carrying it on my shoulder or around my neck as it was pointed out vs down. Not meant to be a "portable" camera at all (which I fully expected). I would recommend getting a small camera pouch so that there is some protection for the camera while carrying it.

As far as the settings - I leave mine on Auto most of the time. I am still experimenting with the sports setting and the continuous shutter setting...but it has definitely came in handy.

Very happy with my purchase and am still learning how to use it entirely.

I give this 5 stars (but I can't change the rating)

This is a very good camera for photography amateurs, picture quality is very good, and it is relatively user-friendly, although it takes a while to really get acquainted with it if you have no previous knowledge. The fact that it comes with an extra set of lens, and so many other accessories makes it very attractive, since all you need to do is start having fun with it right away.
