Great device! Matrix from the older model 700D 18MP,comlor depth 42 bits, good ergonomics. Mirror viewfinder, or liveview on the LCD touch screen to choose from. Flash. And all this in a very light andcompact body for a DSLR: a 400g camera and a 200g lens. By the way, the whale lens is quite suitable. Photo examples:
