Well,

How did i end up with one of these???

Picture it in duty free, i needed a battery for my own cam... walked into dixons and came out with one of these.

Have to say it cost me £300 and worth every penny. I was very lucky as i got the normal lens and a 80mm -300mm lens thrown in for free as well. Also a tripod etc as part of the kit.

Having used it all over the place and seen the results i can thoroughly recommend this camera to anyone. Its perfect for anyone, from beginners to experts. The simplest mode makes it the same as any normal 35mm camera with a point and click ... it takes care of the zoom and focus for you. On the other end of the scale its got all the settings any techno-geek could want.

The viewfinder is extremely clear and of a deent size - previous SLR's ive used have had miniscule viewfinders.

The construction of the unit is nothing short of excellent. As you would expect from a professional unit it feels solid and robust. Its taken a few knocks etc and is still working perfectly

The only request i would have made with the camera is for a more powerful flash. The onboard flash isn too bad for family parties etc, but like most SLR cameras the addition of an external light would make all the difference.

Not sure if u can get these new anymore as i bought mine 18 months ago ... but even 2nd hand this will make an awesome purchase.
