Great Camera
Pros: Sharp Photos when paired with High Quality Lens. Different raw sizes are great. I just use the mRAW which is at 10mp. Fast Focus even with the included kit lens. The lock button in mode dial was at first annoying but I got use to it.
Cons: Inconsistent AWB and TTL with 430EXII. Sometimes the AWD is warmer, sometimes it's cold especially using the flash, it is very inconsistent. I have to switch the WB to flash mode to have the warmer tone all the time. The TTL also sometimes are too bright. NO Dedicated Movie switch, and movie mode is all the way at the end of mode dial. Typically I shoot using Manual or in AV mode and I do take lots of Movie also of my kids. So switching between these modes, it's a pain in the. I feel like I switch back and forth too many times that the mode dial will start to wear out. I wish they kept the Micro Adj Focus. I have to send one of my lens for calibration because the feature was omitted.
Affordable Low Light Lens
Pros: Cheap! Great Low-light lens on a budget.
Cons: a little soft but not a major concern.
Cools down my computer
Pros: Stock Fan Idle @ 42c Heavy Load @ 52c, Freezer Pro idle @ 32c, Heavy Load at 42c. Overclock my P3.0 to P3.45 prescott without problems. Easy Installtion. It is very quiet even at full 2721 RPM.
Cons: None.
