I bought the camera in front of 2.5 years. This is my first SLR. At that time was a good offer. Although the objective is not so cool, but for me is still sufficient as Fotografanfäger. I am very pleased with the quality of the images. I do a lot small shots (Blümen, drops of water, little things), landscapes and people shots. The images are often fantastically. And all with AUTO setting. The night shots without flash are also outstanding! Sport shots (jumping into the water, for example) are also very great and high. The camera is to be recommended, even with such a lens. If you have a better lens, the pictures are certainly still much much better, but I'm also very satisfied with and mainly, a larger lens is pretty hard to support and ev.nimmt much space in your suitcase when traveling by air! therefore so is size of the camera with lens while not perfect (I would have less), but that's a reflex. Operating the camera is easy zeimlich. Display moves from top to below and vice versa, allowing for simpler shooting with outstretched hands from above and completely off the ground. With the camera we did our wedding photos. That was a story in itself. We did not have photographer and a day before the wedding asked a friend to shoot us. He had almost no experience with such a camera. A day before he made sample images. On the wedding day he has had for the second time our camera in hand and the pictures are still just great. The camera has, so to speak, made the recordings "by itself".
