---the body looks cheap; handle is a bit slippery;--the flash is a bit hard to control; many settings it will popup automatically and cannot block it easily;--movie has only one HD mode, 1 minute uses >200 MB, holds about 15 minutes for a 4GB card

Was a bit suspicious of it since it's not the "i" series and when I took it out of the box it was a bit plastic-y

It looks good, a bit scary at first when you see all those buttons if it is your first

The controls are simple although Creative Auto Confused me a little bit at

Light, easy to use once you read a bit of the manual, and great that it has HD video as well.

or if you want to be a bit more creative there is the option for manual

It was also quite a bit less expensive than the Canon alternative.4

The microphone is a bit weak, but who buys a DSLR to use strictly as a video camera?
