I purchased this camera about 3 weeks ago and it is great to carry around when I am not using my Canon 60D. Light weight, small size and you can use your Canon lenses. I am p`d off because I ordered it through Henry`s on-line, paid $799.95 and now Henry`s has it on sale for $50.00 less!

No tilting LCD; Indoors shots can be soft; Not much cheaper than 700D

A good and compact Canon SLR, but at current prices it's overshadowed by its 700D sibling
