Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

I bought it on 09/03/11 and I am very pleased with it: for such a price (17 tr) it could not be better. You get great photos at any time of the day and in any light, the main thing is not to forget about the flash in order to avoid blurring and not raise the ISO, since the pictures in low light come out very noisy. When shooting at shutter speeds of more than 5-10 seconds on a tripod with the VR stabilizer on, the photos are blurry; disabling the stabilizer completely solves this problem.

Pros

1) Price 2) Sufficiently large weight to avoid smearing due to shaking hands 3) The abundance of settings in manual mode and the ability to quickly change them 4) Adequate physical pixel dimensions 5) Programmable side key (adjusts ISO by default) 6) Shooting FullHD video 7) Ability to shoot in RAW format 8) Capacious battery 9) The ability to replace the memory card and battery without removing it from the tripod 10) Excellent software translation

Cons

1) Quite noisy matrix (sometimes even at ISO-100) 2) No screwdriver 3) Sometimes autofocus cuts out (most likely a lens problem 4) Expensive lenses/flashlights/batteries 5) Pretty soapy lens at some focal lengths 6) On my copy there is a front focus that goes beyond the depth of field, so you have to move the camera with each shot 7) When shooting at slow shutter speeds, it is "in work" for a long time (in time, about the same time as the shooting lasted)
