Advantages: Cheap, All-in-one starter pack for starters in photographs

Disadvantages: poor iso's

just read the rules.. sorry about the previous one

Among my gadget, i got this baby about half years ago. if i didn;t mistaken, it came with standart 15-50mm lens, and strap

my photography skill level is still noob, but i have used almost every single mode in the gadget

the censor used is 10.1 mpx one, more than enough to took most everyday moments, ranging from day-use sport activity to night portrait. I even took a musical show from my department in it's turn out quite good even though it's almost midnight and without external light source ( there's only fluorescent lamp in the stage and it's outdoor) ( using standart flash)

But pay attention ! the censor iso's not strong enough to take a night sport such as badminton and tennis without external light source ( i.e. stadium light). Youre usually not allowed to use flash in these occasion, so if you need it for those i strongly recommend you to pick higher models. if you do it anyway it will be really blurry

as for night portrait, it will do good even with standart lenses

standart battery life is more than enough, except if you bring it for heavy use in travelling. Well, you will need more storage anyways so before buying spare batteries i recommend to buy spare MC's. And about multiple shot, in daylight it tooks less than 1 second to actually took 3 shot, but you need to have class 10 MC's or you will have some delays after 12-15 shot ( i'm using 10 mpx raw presets)

Autofocus is quite good, but it's pretty bad for macros. you really need to use manual focus, it tends to focus to background even in macros mode. AS for sport mode, i really recommend you to use canon lenses if you're using AF, because the AF won't be able to keep up if you use other manufacturer's







accecories that i used : ( in case you need it too ) external flash ( china made, rarely used,), a 75-300 lens, UV and IR filter from hoya ( these are a MUST have, you won't regret it)
accecories that i need but still doesn't have it : vertical grip ( just randomly borrow from my friend, believe me taking a portrait in 1 hour presentation is rediculously tiring although this gagdet is not really heavy for it's class)


if you need some of my sample pic taken, i'll be happy to share, just ask in comments and tell me how ( e-mail/etc)

Summary: quite good for starters, but definitely a no-go for pro's
