I have used Canon for a long time. This camera has made me look like a pro. I have sold many of my photos in the community as I have them made into Giclee paintings and they look like an oil painting. As another user said, you have to get out of your comfort zone with the auto setttings and learn how to use the P<TV>AV> setttings. It's not so tough to figure it out if you experiment!

Have a good time with your Canon!

Pros: Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, good battery life
Cons: blurry pics

I have had this camera for 2 + years. I take more pics than most people, I try to everyday. When I get a good pic, It is nice,clear, good color. My problem is that out of 100 pics only 10 are keepers, and only 2 are "great". Most of the time the pics are blurry. I've upgraded to the 70-200 L series lens. I allways use manual settings, I think the auto focus is not detecting the correct range. Is there any way to sync (I know the camera detects what type of lens is on the camera, but its like mine is off just a little. Manual focus is where i usually get the better pics. the sweet spot for my lens is either 3.2 or the 7"s. Im thinking up upgradeing to the D7 this winter. thanks

My husband purchased this for me over 2 years ago. He knew that I lke taking pictures but wanted great quality. I searched this camera out in terms of what I was looking for and found the EOS. I started using it and getting my pictures I felt this was a good quality product for the price and I have stuck with it every since. Now that i am more familiar with the camera I want to buy more lens and other accessories to do more things with it

Did I do that? Date: September 1, 2009
Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, quiet, Quick Start-up time, Solid Operation, easy to use, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, rich vibrant photos, quick rapid shoot, fully manipulative to the photographers knowledge
Cons: the stock neck strap can be made to better comfort

As a person that appreciates quality and artistic photos i must say that this is by far one of my favorite cameras to use. If you can understand and are willing leap out of the auto settings you will fly and coast with the best photos you can take. the auto settings are great for novices as the camera adjusts its settings to best absorb the correct amount of light to exposure in it's capabilites, which are not as good as the naked eye (this is with any camera). To get pics that are exact to the naked eye you will need to move to your manual settings. only a person who is knowledgable or willing to learn can understand what i am saying. as for the novice photographers the auto settings will still do an awesome job for you until you ar ready to learn how to manipulate your fstop, apeture, and iso's. REMEMBER A CAMERA IS ONLY AS GOOD AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER BEHIND THE LENS.
