Incredible!!!! The lenses are super light so you would need to worrie about the weight. Excellent amateaur DSLR Purchased this camera to replace a film-plane body, using the same AF lenses. Amazing Camera I am a novice photographer looking to improve my skills.

A great camera for the money and overall I bought this camera only a couple of days ago at a walmart in myrtle beach.
Ultrasick 2:09am on Thursday, August 26th, 2010 
Excellent for most photographic work except fast sport, but then I have no interest in any sport! Better for portraiture , and landscapes. As my first true dSLR, I was impressed at the capabilities it offers versus a point-and-shoot camera.

Used it in Jerusalem. Images came out amazing! Worth the $$$ Paid [$] Easy To Use,Good Image Quality,Large Clear LCD This DSLR is best choice for entry level photography. despite of its plasticky body and loud shutter sound, it give u pretty good photo quality.

After about a week with this camera, I really like it. I am a photographer and I needed a D-SLR, I wanted to start small, but not too small. My 1st Digital SLR Camera First and foremost I love this camera. I had never owned a digital SLR before so I was therefore looking across the market. sony alpha This is my first purchase for a dslr, the build quality is excellent, the controls are well laid out, extremely user friendly. Very Pleased I purchased this product for my wife, for Christmas, partly swayed I admit, by the £50 cashback offer.
