I would definately recommend this camera, has produced far better images than any other camera I have used before. Although being an SLR gives you far more creative options, they are more difficult to master if you go beyond purely auto settings. The basic kit lens is sufficient to get a good range of pictures, but this can then be added to with other lenses such as the EF 50 F1.8 for £70 or better would be the EF 40 F1.4 for about £250. These are standard lenses (no zoom) and will give better peformance for portrait etc... especially for low light. Get it from somwhere like Ebuyer if in UK, Pixmania are a foreign exporter and you won't get English manuals or coupons. Another site to steer well clear of is MYDV.co.uk. They operate out of the US and the service is totally crap if you can ever get hold of them. Another thing to realise is that being an SLR you can not use the LCD display as a viewfinder, it is only able to display menus and previously captured photos. This last bit of info is left off most sites, as they assume everyone buying this model will know the basic workings of an SLR.
