Digital camera Review: Great Camera at a Low Price and Quick Delivery
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the camera via Fedex within five working days after ordering. The camera and lens were factory fresh with a US warranty. I'm still trying to learn all of the features since this is my first digital SLR, but so far, it's taken good pictures. I would order from this company again.Digital camera Review: A great slr camera for non-professional

Have had the camera a short time and have grown to love its features and capabilities. Do purchase the 50 mm-200mm telephoto zoom lens; for the price it is a nice lens. I tried the image stabilizer by shooting a picture of the air conditioner on my neighbor's roof using 200 mm telephoto. When you enlarge the image you can read the label for the brand name! Without the image stabilizer, it is a blur. I did the same for a book about 100 ft away and using 200 mm setting. Without image stabilizer the title is blurred; with the image stabilizer it is sharp. A very nice feature is you can take an image and then enlarge a portion of it and save, or use filters to make them BW, soft, more bright, or with different color tones.
People report that under tungsten light the auto setting gives a yellow tone without flash. This is true. However, you can use the P mode, which is like an auto mode, reset white balance easily to tungsten light and the picture comes out nice!. Great low light capabilities with image stabilizer.
If you are into action photography, this may not be the camera for you. It has limited ability to store a sequence of photos without a delay. Other camers react faster and have larger capacity.
Do reset default from bright to natural tone. You can do this in some modes, but not all. Read the manual, it really will empower you with many nice capabilities. Newer lenses are light and small and interface with image stabilization system automatically.
Digital camera Review: Completely satisfied

This camera is performing flawlessly and provides much higher quality results than the Kodak P850 it replaced. The built-in anti-shake was a must have feature, which limits the DSLR field dramatically. I see no reason to buy expensive anti-shake lenses such as Nikon and Canon want you to get. In camera anti-shake is for 99% of users the superior solution.
I was concerned about battery life with the AA solution, but using the Sanyo eneloop rechargeables has worked out great. These batteries don't have the high self-discharge rate which is normally associated with NIMH batteries, so you can leave the camera sitting for a few weeks and still be ready to go.
Digital camera Review: AWESOME

Worth every penny. Outdoor results are outstanding. Indoor results are very good. Use the rebate and purchase the 50-200MM lens at the same time, making the extra lens basically free.
You will not be disappointed with this camera. It is extremely user friendly.
