In the six months I've had this camera, it's never failed me. User-friendliness is high. You can fix things like a cluttered horizon in the camera itself. The basic lens is fine for a novice, but it won't do any marvels. After investing in a Nikon 50mm f/1.8g high-aperture fix lens, my photos finally started looking good. Unless I can buy a carcass from 30,000, I have no plans to upgrade my current camera. 5 stars for the camera, without a question.
