    a good camera

The good points about this camera are that its really very user friendly, and surprisingly durable (has gone everywhere with me ever since I bought it) even the Amazon!!

However I have found some bad points about this camera these are its a bit slow on the low light shots, and I know its an SLR but its quite hefty
General Comments
I have bouth this Dynax 500si in 1997 with my then girlfriend from Dixons in London, England. Always wanted an SLR and buying that one was just a lucky guess as I was not in photography. Six years and three girlfriends later the camera is still with me never letting me down. I shoot about 30 films a year, and have had no problem whatsoever. I started enjoying it even more when I treated myself to an 70-210 zoom lens. I find that it takes better pictures with a kodak ultra (400) film and that is what I recommend.After that i think the brand has won me.

    I found this review interesting but I'd love to hear more about your thoughts - it's a camera I was considering and both reviews are a bit lukewarm on it, so that in itself is useful!

    Hi, welcome to ciao, I just wanted to point out that to make a really helpful review for others making a buying decision try to discuss the features it has how good they are and things like this, I would suggest if in doubt make a short comment on each of the features in turn commenting on important things like ease of use, general usefulness and things of that nature, don't allow yourself to be too disheartened though, I hope this helps you improve your reviewings in the future.
