Great for those wanting starting to go pro!
I've had this camera for about 2 years now, and it still works wonderfully. This is a great starter camera, and at a same time a great camera for those wanting to take a leap into the professional world. In the years that I've had this camera, I've encountered no problems or errors. The camera has it's basic settings for those starting out: automatic, night scene, portrait, action, etc. Very similar to the settings you see on your basic point-and-shoots. There are also settings for those who are more advanced, like aperture priority, shutter priority and a full-manual mode. The camera also features a "live mode" where you can view the image before taking the picture on the LCD screen, akin to standard point-and-shoots without a viewfinder. Although I rarely use this option, it'd be great for those that are at an angle or position where they can't look through the view-finder. I do love this camera, and it has been great, but it isn't something I would think a professional would stay with forever, though. Eventually you will want to upgrade to a higher-up camera, like the Canon 7D or 5DMarkII. Nonetheless, this is a great camera! Battery Life Battery is excellent - lasts very long
