Don't listen too much to Dummies that write reviews without understanding how a camera works. I see a lot of people downgrading the reviews of this camera on things like poor in low light, no video, and poor zoom…. The camera is as it states "Entry Level" AND A VERY GOOD ONE AT THAT…. I don't have any problems using it in low light because I don't use cheap lenses, and if I did, I know how to use the camera well enough to correct low light issues as much as possible. Lenses that are 3.5 5.6 are generally the cheap ones although some are very good. On this camera I use the Nikon 18-70mm 3.5 4.5, the 10.5mm 2.8, my favorite the 105mm 2.8 and finally the 200mm f4. In low light the kit lens that comes with the camera may have some issues, but then again it is the lens not the camera; and I personally think this kit lens is outstanding. No video? Who cares? Did the camera state that it took videos? NO! You want video? Go buy a video camera !!!!! I unfortunately have video on my Canon 5d, and it sucks….. But I don't care because I don't use it. I didn't buy the camera for this. I bought the camera to take pictures not video. Poor Zoom? Again, the lens the camera came with is 18-55mm. You want more zoom? Buy another lens with zoom. I have been using this camera for over 4 months, practically none stop. The camera is awesome. I bought it due to the size of the camera. I wanted a small sized DSLR that can take awesome pics and this one has far exceeded all my expectations.
