Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Can be used fully automatic to completely manual and you can change lenses, too!

Weaknesses: It is not a "pocket" camera, so it not for the casual photographer. Cannot use the large LED to set up pictures.

Overall Evaluation: This is a professional style camera. That is not to say that it is not for the casual photographer, but is not the thin little pocket camrea that seems to be so popular today. It can be used fully automatic so there are not settings to worry about and it even has auto focus that is fast and crisp. It can be set in various modes from portrait, for pictures of people, to scenery for those great vacation shots, to high speed for the kids sports activities and be used used as fully automatic - no settings. At the other extreme, it can be used fully manual, where the user sets all of the settings, great for the experienced photographer. The viewfinder is a wealth of information, it is like having a photo meter built into the camera so the budding photographer has help learning the ins and outs of f-stops, focal lengths and shutter speeds. The ability to change lenses makes the camera one of the most versatile on the market. With the exception of the person who wants to carry their camera in their pocket, This is a great camera choice for everyone from the person who wants those great shots of their vacation and the kid's birthday party to the serious photographer - or "learning to be serious" photographer. The camera grows with you.
