I've had this gem for two years now. I've never been happier, and I know I'm not alone. Even though I rarely use the video function, the quality is respectable for a camera. He is never far from my side, whether we are on a trip, at the office, at home, or in the country. I am really lucky to have such a loyal friend! To capture images, I employ an 18-105mm, 55-300mm, and a 35mm f/1.8 fixed lens. Instead, the whale 18-55mm is a respectable optic for newcomers. All you need is a camera, and I can't stress that enough if you don't already have one. Have no remorse! And the price we pay for it now is completely absurd. I wish everyone the best of luck!
