Pros: Nice size and weight, very solid, feels great in the hands. Beautiful huge LCD. Included lens is pretty nice although the 28-235mm woulda been alot nicer, still it takes great sharp pictures. Controls are very easy to understand. Nice mix of presets and manual setting, very versatile. Really nice neck strap. Very impressed with the overall quality of construction. I've used many digital cameras over the years, this is my first DSLR, and really the best camera I ever owned. My other camera is a Kodak z1012, and this makes that look like a toy. I love this Canon camera and I'm taking it everywhere with me...even to bed :) I am very satisfied with my purchase, especially at the new lower price.
Cons: Hmmm, let me think about that...ummmmm ?
Overall Review: As usual, I got it in just 2 days. I heard people bashing UPS, and I know I've had maybe 1 or 2 issues with them over the years, but with Newegg they always deliver my stuff a day early, which is way cool, so I have nothing bad to say about UPS in my case. Maybe cause I'm a techie, but I find the learning curve on my first DSLR 'real' camera to be pretty easy, if you really read the manual it helps alot, plus there's helpful videos on youtube. All in all, I'm taking great photos right out of the box..guess I'm a fast learner.
