Cons A week later and I'm still reading about features packed into it and learning
Recommended it? Yes

Pros Easy to navigate, incredible image quality, great price, nice layout, auto-focus,...
Cons Prices for lens is a little pricey but that is the only issue.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently got this DSLR camera as a gift for Christmas and I have really enjoyed it. I'm a beginning photographer, and this camera is much better than a digital camera but not too advanced.
