It is simply a great camera at a great price. It works as well as any 35mm camera on the market, has a reasonably fast winder, and best of all it takes all of the huge variety of EF Canon lenses. It is actually very light, so you can carry it around without fatigue, or you can bulk it up by adding the extended grip (which gives it a very nice feel).

The zoom lenses are a little slow. I recommend that you get the body only, and start with the 50mm f/2.8 MKII lens, which is a steal at about $70. Together, they make an outstanding, affordable, high-quality package for those of us who still love film more than digital.

The photos are exceptional. It was very easy to learn how to use the features. I have taken some great photos with it, much better than my digital. I have not encountered any problems. I took it on a long (over a month) trip where it was subjected to rough treatment and extreme weather. It came through with flying colors. Rock solid.

I am very pleased with this camera. I especially like the light meter that tells you how many apertures you are away from the correct exposure. I am using this for my photo class and is easy to use.

I am really satisfied with the purchase of this camera. Good quality workmanship. Canon has been a leader in photography in my book. Easy to use controls for any one.

Soy un principiante en esto de la fotografia, esta ha sido mi primera camara slr, por lo tanto me ha tocado experimentar con ella para obtener las mejores tomas posibles a la vez que han aumentado mis conocimientos en el area, el desempeno es excelente tanto en tomas fijas como las que he realizado a objetos en movimiento,tanto sus funciones automaticas como las profesionales ofrecen un desempeno excelente, he tomado mas de 300 fotos en poco menos de cuatro meses, el zoom que tiene es rapido, los botones tienen una disposicion excelente para manejarla con una sola mano, lo unico que necesita es un flash de la serie speedlite, tuve oportunidad de conseguir uno prestado de un amigo y el cambio fue estupendo ya que este tiene mas alcance para el lente que la camara trae,ya que el flash que trae carece de potencia el cual ofrece su mejor desempeno en los 28mm del lente(no le podemos pedir mas a un flash integrado), por ultimo les dijo que posee el mejor sistema de medicion de luz que existe en el mercado (E-TTL)y esta disponible tanto con flash integrado como con el flash externo
