I have to admit that when I opened the package and started playing with this camera I was a little intimidated and thought I might have to send it back for being just too much camera for me. I'm such an amateur photographer that's it's not fair to the real amateurs for me to categorize myself with them. I went from a point and shoot that I loved to a bridge camera that I hated and made the jump all the way to the EOD 60D. I was looking for a camera that would snap pics quickly, took sharp quality photos, and allow me to blow up my photos and still look good. The quality if this camera is amazing, the neck-strap alone is higher quality than my mid-level bridge camera. I love love love that it has the "creative" modes and the "auto" modes. If I'm in a hurry I can use the auto modes or if I'm feeling brave I can switch to creative and get my craftiness on.
After I got over my initial shock and really started reading about the camera and applying what I learned, I was amazed by this camera. The speed, which was crazy important to me, is ridiculous. Trying to capture photographic moments of a rambunctious one-year old is like mission impossible. With this camera I'm actually getting these moments and the ones before and after!
The lens is amazing, there are several other packages out there that offer different lenses, I highly recommend this lens package, the 18-135 with IS is phenomenal, most of my shots come out crystal clear, the zoom is great, and the IS is a life saver. The only pics I've had come out with any blur were at night, at a parade, of a one-year old wiggling in excitement at mach 8.
The package stuff is all great, I chose this kit because it didn't come with too much stuff, but all things I'll actually use. My only wish would be that the camera case were slightly bigger or might accomodating to a camera, lens (lenses) and the accessories, but hey if I wanted to be super picky about a case I should just order what I really want. Also the mini tripod seems flimsy, and I don't actually want to put my camera on it. This camera, especially with a lens, is heavy!
Last happy bit the shipping from this seller was light speed fast. I received it the day before (maybe even two days) before the first day I was estimated to get this kit.
I'll try and update as I get more familiar with the camera, but so far I'm incredibly happy!
