My Review 

This is a great intermediate camera with a 14.2MP system. I bought it new with an 18-70mm Sony lens and a 70-300mm Sony lens, which are good lenses but not as fine as Zeiss.

The camera is a good all around tool for just about any type of photography. It was relatively inexpensive, and I will keep using it for quite a while before I upgrade.

Camera "pros" 

Easy to use. Inexpensive at the time of purchase. Fairly rugged. Good control layout and tilting 3-inch screen.

Camera "cons" 

No movie function.
