"What a fabulous camera"
Pros: Big viewfinder and LCD
Cons: None really
Summary: This is one fabulous Digital SLR. I've always been a Canon fan but once I saw the lovely big viewfinder, the perfect-sized LCD, the great 18-135 lens, and its perfect size, I just had to switch brands. Canon's on-board flashes have never had the same metering as the add-on external flashes, whereas with the D80, the built-in flash gave absolutely perfect exposures.
I recommend this camera very highly!
Note: I bought a Sandisk 2 GB Ultra II card, and it does take about half to one second for the picture to show on the LCD. I think this is no fault of the camera; its just that for such a huge card, the card's memory size is too large I think. With a normal JPEG and large file size, which is the ideal setting, the camera can take 500 photos on the 2 GB card. I'm glad I got that size.
