To be honest, I only bought this camera because it was all white and all pretty.
But I've been needing a new camera for a while now, something I could use for everyday shots or sometimes even for my photography jobs too. I'm a firm believer that the camera doesn't make the photographer - though a good camera helps a lot. I've used this camera for many shoots and was able to walk away with very nice images.
Really though I'm in love with this entire color scheme - white and light grey. I bought two matching lenses for it as well. I'm hoping canon really expands this motif to future bodies and lenses as well.
The body is very small and very light. It's known as the smallest and lightest DSLR. (My first DSLR, the Canon Rebel XT, used to be the smallest and light when I bought it). With the 40mm, it's even smaller. It's so easier to carry around especially if I just want nice photos for everyday shots.
It has touch screen which I've found to be useful especially during video recording.
Though not professional, the camera takes very nice photos. It's not for intense shooting. The ISO range is very basic and it only shoots at 4 FPS. What I like most about it is that I can bring it on location and not worry about it weighing me down. I've been able to pair with a Prophoto B1 500 strobe and still get great shots.
I'm debating whether or not I should continue using this as my primary camera because I'm considering getting one with wifi and something less conspicuous. I get a lot of compliments whenever I use this camera out in public. But I'd rather not have it stand out when out taking street photography.
