This was my first SLR camera, following on from a point and shoot Nikon compact. I was prompted to by it by a member of the family buying the F55.The first thing you notice about the camera is the outstanding quality of the photos it takes. Forget digital, all you need is a good roll of Fuji Velvia and you will produce the most amazing pictures.
The lenses it comes with are adequate for the first time user, and to begin with there was no fault to be found in these, until i was recommended another lens costing about the same as the original package! However, unless you see the better results from a better lens yourself and your photo viewers, unless they are Joe Cornish, will not notice the difference.
The price may seem a jump from a 100 PAS camera, but if you are more than just a holiday snapper this is for you, and even if you are, you will be out every fine day with this!
No compromise, just buy it!
