This is my first DSLR. So far I am very satisfied with my photographic results. Inline RAW editing and video cropping reduces the tasks I typically do when posting to desktop. WB is the only feature I have set to Auto and it is very accurate in most scenarios. I really only have two complaints: 1.) No manual mode for video (although you can use a flashlight to set the exposure and then lock it.) 2.) The LCD screen lights up when I adjust the exposure in the viewfinder Adjust HUD. I also think it's worth mentioning that this camera survived outdoor shots in torrential rain.
