but just so you're not surprised if and when you buy this, the camera's zoom lags a little (as with many cameras), and although the motion detection does a good job of keeping your shots free of blur, it makes the camera appreciably slower as it's working. (but as long as you're not shaking the camera around, it's totally fine, and you can even turn the feature off if you want.) but keeping in mind the price, this is no state-of-the-art uber-camera, so none of those minor setbacks are not surprising as they might be on a much more expensive piece of technology.

If you have your basic photography skills down, you can make any DSLR sing, however, I believe THIS camera, because of its superb sensor and spot-on feature set, can actually help you improve your technique and get better results. You'll take more chances and push yourself farther because now you have the tools (ie. features) to help capture more difficult, more creative shots. And you didn't have to spend $3,000 to get there!

8-MONTH UPDATE: Still love this camera which hasn't lost any of its original excitement. Very reliable - never frustrating. I'm not craving an upgrade - not contemplating a switch to Canon either - I'm perfectly content. Haven't discovered any hidden quirks. In fact, the longer I use it, the more I realize how well engineered it is. The only extras I bought so far were a light monopod and a 50mm 1.8 lens.
