Why do you use the term 'entry level' suggesting that this is just for beginners? I use it when I need a lighter camera than my D700, or my Mamiya Press - the quality approaches that of the D700 which is now over 3 years old
Pros:
  • Weight
  • good quality
  • CMOS sensor
  • ease of use
Cons:
  • No auto bracket
  • but with RAW and D lighting can over come this

Very good camera

This Camera is a very good starter camera and also a good professional camera. I have had no problems with it and there have been no situations where it has been glitchy and no bugs that I have found.

Good Value with the 55-300mm

Very easy to use. The guide is also a good teaching tool. Have used it to shoot both hi-speed ie Pacific gulls in flight along with portraits. Good entry level DSLR. You might want to buy the 18 - 105mm lense to add to your kit along with a speedlight flash.
Pros:
  • Easy to use
  • Build quality
  • Battery life

A great piece of kit

This was a present for my daughter who is getting into photography as a hobby and for work. She has found it extremely easy to use and to follow the technical guide. Our one complaint is the lack of a USB cable to connect to the Mac/PC.

Can I have two?

I got this camera for Christmas and I am loving it. In the specs it lists the battery being able to take up to 550 photos, but I got over $900 and with 2 bars remaining. It is great having the extra lens because the 55mm sometimes just doesn't make it. And to put it all together it is simple to use.
