Reviewed by David Edwards

Date Added: Wednesday 31 March, 2010

This is my first DSLR, having owned film SLRs up until now (Canon F1N, A1 mainly). First impressions as very positive although camera needs decent glass on the front to maximise potential. Definitely seeing the shortcomings of my two Canon zooms (28-70 and 80-200) so an L series on the shopping list. Cannot really find a feature that this camera doesn't have. Highly recommended.
