Summary: As a balloon artist I take lots of different pictures in a lot of environments. This camera does a great job in all of them. I don't lose any of the vividness of my balloons and the detail is fantastic. I've not had any problem with jagged edges or graininess. Balloons are very dusty from the talc used in their production. The dust cleaning feature is a HUGE bonus to me. I do wish the battery lasted a bit longer in live view mode, but I don't use it that often, so it's not been a huge issue.

Summary: Well over 20 yrs ago I used my first SLR to shoot High School Year book. At that time I was in love with my SLR. Now I have this great DSLR. No more buying flim and a full featured DSLR. THe camera is easy to use and has soo many features that I still have not used all of them. THe tilt screen is great. The duel memory card slots are perfect. My HP, and Fujusti are heading for the junk draw. My new love is this great camera.
