Helpful consumer’s review
Great camera I’ve been shooting for 8 years and this is my first DSLR. It’s superior to any of the compacts I’ve owned recently. I bought a 28mm-100mm sigma lens and it’s crystal clear pics are fantastic. It’s very fast I can snap 5 pictures in the time my old camera processed one.
It’s easy enough my wife can use it with no problems. The features are great too you can change the photo into B & W, Sepia, watercolor, pastel, high contrast, soft focus and save the results on the camera. I would recommend to any photographer looking for a first DSLR. I only wish the body was not plastic and was weather proofed.
