Yes, this is my first SLR. Before it, I shot with a smartphone, and to be honest, I won’t take it anymore. It's a pretty good camera, but it's far from perfect. Compared with this SLR - the quality of UG. But the approximation pleases, only it is of no use, because the quality, even with the ZSD function turned on (maximum sharpness at maximum approximation) UG. And I thought! But! Modern smartphones, such as the Galaxy S8 and others, will be on par with our DSLR, and somewhere, perhaps, they will get ahead of it. Only the price of such waffles will be in the region of semi-professional photos, and it’s better to take a closer look at them than at top-end smartphones. The telephone is first and foremost a telephone. And a camera is a camera. But if you are not a photographer, but just an amateur, like me, and even more so if you want a compact or a compact and at the same time an All-in-One device, then take a smartphone. And the quality will be at the level, and there is no need to carry too much. If we compare our photos with competitors, then Nikon, even if it has devices 2 years ago, goes head and shoulders above. There, the matrix is larger, and the panoramas stick together themselves, and the picture quality . But Nikon is more expensive! And the optics on it are more expensive! There is nothing to say about Sony - prices are like hornets! I will not say anything about the full frame. What is the conclusion - as the first SLR and in general "SLR" this device is suitable. Yes, it is a little cut down in functionality, and not as "professional" as its colleagues and competitors, but it is ideal for travel and every day shots! With the purchase of a new lens, you can unlock all the capabilities of this camera. Amateurs and pros alike will appreciate the photos. Time will pass, you will already learn how to take great pictures, buy a more expensive camera . And this photo will remain lying on the shelf and remind you of the pleasant moments of your life, warming up with the shots taken in due time. I won't say Canon is bad, but it's not perfect either. True, if you close your eyes to the shortcomings . =))))) To assess the quality of the image, I am attaching a few photos below:
