    Strengths: Camera function set at “Default” settings. Color reproduction – Superb Contrast – Superb Sharpness – Superb. Resolution – Superb. Overal Performance - Outstanding! Bang For Buck is also Outstanding.

    Weaknesses: May be a little too small for people with large hands.

    Overall Evaluation: First, this camera is designed to take all of the guessing out of you’re photography. The image processor makes all of the decisions to get perfect exposure so you don’t have to think about it. OR you can set it up any way you want it in MANUAL MODE. WOW, For the price, you will not find a better digital camera. If you are already a canon owner, you will find that all of you're Eos lenses work beautifully. In the studio, you’re able, thanks to the software provided, to hook directly up to you’re lap top and see you’re photos in real time. I love that. This camera shoots RAW format as well as JPG simultaneously! You can set up your own pre-defined styles adjusting contrast, sharpness, color saturation etc.. This camera even has a BLACK AND WHITE SETTING!! For true black and white, not just grey scale photography complete with color filter settings! You really owe it to you’re self to check this camera out BEFORE you buy.
