I don't know if this is a good choice for a beginner price wise (1200.00),

Great features at a good price

I was trying to balance amazing quality with a relatively decent price, understanding that DSLRs are or expensive in the long run than point & shoot cameras since Ive owned a few Canon DSLRs over the years

Excellent camera, great price, fast shipping!

I used a Zeiss 35mm 1.2 lens and the pictures look just as good as I wouldUnlike older models
