... Yet there are 5 stars from me. Why? At first I was not very happy with my purchase. After the first photos I asked myself why I have my Finepix replaced with 3.1 MP. The pictures were not much better, only had more pixels. Then I have a Sigma 18-200mm lens gained and then it started to make fun. Super results! Birthday there was a 50mm lens from Sony (fixed focal length), so you do then the really great photos. The great advantage of the camera: Each program an easy-Help will be displayed and you know immediately what you have to adjust to make the images that you want to have. For SLR beginners like me ideal. Now I can also shoot great pictures, even though I left the automatic mode. For the beginner I still rate that Data Becker book to order to match the camera (39.80), then you know after a few hours, what you're doing.
