Advantages Lens Backup. Build Quality. Eye Controlled Focus...
Disadvantages C**p Evaluative metering
I have used this camera for 2 years as a semi-pro photographer. I went to a residential course last year and had perfect exposures in all 36 transparencies of 10 films (unlike some of the students with > £1000 cameras). I cannot recommend this camera enough for anyone who is considered taking up photography seriously. The eye-control focus is very easy to use and very helpful (if for speed of focusing only.) It has all the features I think you need in a modern camera (although spot metering would be helpful).
The bad side of the camera has to be the evaluative metering. It really is s**t. Don't use it. Learn to use the partial metering (i.e point the camera at something that is equivalent to a mid-light grey like grass for example) and lock the exposure. I guarantee that if you do that right you will get a perfect exposure every time.I would also advise getting the battery pack (BP50). It makes the camera feel better and it makes it more ecnomical over a long period of time.
The camera is solid (although I can't remember dropping it yet)Detailed Rating
