Advantages: affordable price, excellent battery life and picture quality.

Disadvantages: no live view feature

This DSLR is my first 'proper' camera after not doing much photography since secondary school a few years ago. I have been using it now for several months and I am very pleased with the results. In the standard 'auto' mode you can use it just like any other point and click digital camera and still get fantastic quality photos. Along side this there several pre-set shot conditions such as sport, night and landscape mode, these add a bit more to any picture you are taking.
The full manual mode offers numerous options with complete control over all the camera's functions. Even better for a first time 'DSLRer' is the ease of which you can easily pick up the controls and functions of the camera leading you to be able to get to grips with taking great photos very quickly.
The camera's only slight downside is it does not have live view on the otherwise excellent display screen. The camera is comfortable to hold and so far I have found the battery life to be absolutely fantastic.

Would recommend for the amateur & casual photographer.
