I am not a camera buff by any means. I find this camera easy to use, taking wonderful photos that amaze me. I plan on taking a camera course to utilize the camera to its full potential. I would recommend this camera to anyone including a novice like myself. I have no cons and only pros on the easy use. I am enjoying the camera.

Pros:
- It's a DSLR - excellent picture quality hands down (day or NIGHT!)
- All auto option (if you are like me)
- Infinite number of manual settings (if you want to go pro...)
- Interchangeable lenses (looking forward trying macro and wide-angle some day...)
- Quick shots with viewfinder: flip the switch -> point -> shoot can be done under a second (love it!)
- Built-in flash is not as harsh as I expected and works well in most scenarios...
- The battery lasted through hundreds of shots before needing to recharge

Cons:
- It's definitely not a pocket or purse-size camera (size and weight are nontrivial...)
- Quick shots can only be achieved with the viewfinder (when aiming the camera via LCD it takes a long time to focus)
- Video quality is mediocre especially indoors and under low lighting (I guess it's just not meant for it)
- The lens in this set has no image stabilization (IS) (you'll need a tripod to get a decent shot with no-flash under low lighting)

Overall, any DSLR camera in this price range (379) is a steal... and this camera is by no means a low-end in either quality or features
I can defiantly appreciate all its pros and can easily mitigate all the cons... So its 5/5 for me and my needs!

For the price, you can't really find fault with this camera. A great entry-level SLR that will allow you to shoot like a professional with practice. Worthwhile purchase, especially if bought while on sale.

I have had the camera for 4 weeks. I bought it to record a family holiday. The photos I took were inside and outside buildings. I am a pure amateur to photography and judge the camera on the basis of the quality of shots taken. The camera was consistenty brilliant, coping with all conditions and producing high quality shots. The camera settings are not complicated and my young son (13) was able to operate it with ease. Having researched the camera on the internet I bought it from Amzaon for the best price.

I was so excited to open and start using this camera. I am not a knowledgeable photographer and I can already tell that there are many nuances to this camera that I will have to learn how to use, but there are also many features and settings that are easy to figure out. The camera itself tells you about each setting as you turn the dial, and even playing around with the buttons I was able to figure out how to change various things, for example making it black and white, blurring, vivid or soft colours, etc. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants sharper, clearer images that look amazing.

This camera takes great pictures! I'm very happy with my purchase. It took some time to get use to it and all the functions (and still finding out new stuff every time I use it!). It's a great camera for a beginner who want to take great, easy photos. This camera runs in my family, all three of my aunts have this camera and they love it, they always use it at family gatherings, and now so will I! I recommend this camera to anyone!

I just bought this camera about a month ago and I'm smitten. I have been playing with it and learning the different options and settings as I go but it is super user friendly, especially for a beginner like me. This is my first DSLR, and I look forward to taking more and better pictures with it. Def recommend this!

I'm not a camera person, I hate taking photos it is such a chore. BUT I can't stop taking photos with this thing, it is so much fun and the quality is very nice, especially getting a 32 gb memory card I don't have to worry about space. I also purchased the Telephoto and Wide angle lens; they have not arrived yet but hopefully soon.

I thought I saw something in the box about a warranty, I will actually put effort into looking into it because its such a nice and fun camera.

HTH!

Like the guy below,i'm not a guy who use a camera a lot but with this SLR i can't stop,i use it everywhere:)The camera takes really good pictures at night with high iso.I recommend this camera to everyone who don't want to pay too much.

My husband bough me this camera for my birthday and I love it. Its exactly what I was looking for the pictures are great its easy to use I recommend it!
