Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

It was in September when I made the purchase, literally only two weeks before I was to leave for Europe. This is my very first SLR camera. After I made my selection, I noticed that it was for 25,000. I didn't even think about it, but I went ahead and placed my order with an internet retailer for a camera that has an 18-105mm lens already attached to it. The price I paid for the fotik was 24,900. No matter the lighting, the images are of a good and high-quality standard. I took approximately 2,500 photographs. Of course, I reflected about my errors at that point (especially with focusing at a large aperture value). When shooting at night, I made it a point to avoid increasing the ISO whenever possible, which meant that I had to use a tripod. I also only use the flash on occasion, and the most of my photographs are of natural landscapes.

Pros

Pictures of a high standard. I have a lens that has a vr stabilization range of 18-105mm. Even though the peephole is no longer necessary, another advantage is that you can now view the subject directly on the display instead of looking through the viewfinder before taking the picture. This is an improvement over the previous method of looking through the viewfinder. For me, using the viewfinder became second nature, and I reserved using the display for situations in which I was shooting directly over the ground. The Canon product that falls into the same price range as this one is inferior to it in terms of the amount of pixels, the physical size of the matrix, and the functionality. Not really comparable in any way. When I switched from standard photography to shooting with a timer, which allows for a delay that can be customized in advance through the menu, I found that the camera performed quite smoothly. I take a lot of pictures at night, and I am always switching between this and the other mode. There is a noise reduction program, and you can take excellent pictures at night at ISO 800. The drawing of objects is not blurry, unlike in even the most advanced soap dishes that I've used in the past; instead, grain-like ripples appear in the image (this is why I love SLR cameras). Sensitivity to ISO with signs above is already considered an amateur, as the saying goes. Very satisfied with as many as 14 points of focus. Do not neglect to adjust the exposure metering mode on bright days, as doing so can be of great assistance. The pictures that are captured naturally have a high level of clarity and color saturation. Regarding the quality, there is not even the slightest thing to comment on because it is already good. Thrilled with the performance of both the battery and the charger. The battery is the fact that it is sufficient for approximately 500-550 shots, provided that you do not use a flash and only use the viewfinder. This is the most impressive feature of the battery. Quick charge in about one hour using this charger. Once upon a time, there were only soap dishes! HD video can be captured with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels if the user so chooses. Although switching to video shooting mode is a very convenient option, I choose not to take use of it because I personally believe that a PICTURE CAMERA should be the one responsible for capturing moving images, while a VIDEO CAMERA should be the one responsible for doing so. In summary, there are so many positive aspects that it would be impossible to enumerate them all!

Cons

One might be able to point out merely the flimsy buttons and the "cross" on the back panel as examples of the product's deficiencies. The quality is not quite up to par with, say, the Nikon D60 that belongs to a friend of mine; the pictures have some motion blur. This problem also affects the covers of battery packs and memory cards. It would appear that in order to achieve the goal of lower prices, a certain amount of quality has to be compromised. Although the aperture and shutter speed dial, the program switch dial, the shutter mode switch, the shutter button itself, and the body as a whole do not appear to be a source of concern, this is a good thing! There were no further issues that I could detect.
