In my opinion this is a first class camera. I use it everyday, professionally.
Stunning image quality. I found this camera to be a worth while upgrade to my first canon 5D.

Great quality with a wide range of canon lenses including wide angles.

Light weight with optional battery grip perfect for location and landscape work.

Outstanding battery life easily lasts for a whole days shoot.

Noise levels are very good at low ISO.

Improved prism viewfinder crops less of viewable image.

My only warning is that extra care needs to be taken with this camera as build quality
is not brilliant , although adequate for a camera in this price range.

Finally with all digital cameras outstanding image quality is best achieved shooting
Raw files and therefore a good knowledge of how to process these effectively is recommended.
