I followed the advice of the first users that have left an opinion and I do not regret it. Ideal weight for hiking in the heat. Menu very educational for beginners eternal myself included. A little summary in French Guide (125 pages of 10 x 15 cm) but sufficient for handling. Watch for beginners! The VR of the lens is set to "off". Do not do like me, ie, forgetting to turn it "on". Besides about it, forums advise disconnecting the VR for transport in order to spare the mechanism. Several years will be needed before me to make the most of this unit. The technology does not exempt work. Only downside, the transfer cable is really short, about 58 cm! But overall, I am very satisfied.
