My Review 

I bought this camera for my first DSLR. I really love this camera. It was very easy to understand and easy to use. It works well with low lighting and in undesirable situations. The flash was fine for normal shooting, but I opted to get an external flash to provide more light when shooting indoor functions. It came with the regular 18-70mm lens, which I quickly became bored with. Now I shoot with a 70-300mm or 50mm prime.

I also love that this camera is not as light as others I have used and has a comfortable grip for smaller hands. The tiltable screen is perfect for people who like to shoot different angles.

This camera is great for amateur photographers as well as those with more experience.
