I wanted to upgrade to a "proper" DSLR after having had a number of point and shoot digital cameras. This model is a few years old now but that means its now very reasonably priced, and for me 10.2 mp is more than enough. Bigger file sizes of more recent models would cause problems with storage that I can live without. It doesn't have a movie mode but that's not important to me I cant really find any fault with this camera, it has a solid quality feel that makes it really nice to use.
Very good value for the money. As an entry level DSLR the camera provides everything a new user could wish for and is easy to set up. There is a point and shoot facility along side more advanced settings for the user as they progress with their photography. I can't fault the camera and it's well placed at entry level.

I bought this camera as I had in the past Nikon 35mm film cameras. These gave good quality sharp action packed photos. I wanted something simple self explanitary that would give me the above, this does, and although this model has since been superceeded it does what it says and is great toy to start digital photography with. I consider I got a good buy and with the additional lense I can cover good long distance ranges. Its not the best thats why I gave it a 4 but it is for the price and value. It also has good feel of quality, and in my opinion quite robust not that I would want to bash it about. The many settings and modes i am still playing with but it does have good ranges and the self help screen is likewise very handy.
all the features required if you want to use them. But the auto feature turns this light weight camera into a heavy weight contender.

This is a cheaper alternative to the D80 which I had before, with the same megapixels, it's easier to use, lighter to handle and importantly for where I live it has a clever little dust removal system which I find invaluable for my nature shots in Bulgaria. I do miss the bracketing which the D80 has, otherwise very pleased with this camera.
