This was my alternative to a full frame digital slr.The price and condition were great and wanted to upgrade from my old pentax a3000 witch has no manual mode and a limited program feature.This elan is no joke and takes better landscapes than my canon rebel xt.I bought the body only and used my 28-105 usm 11 ef lens and was blown away by the results.Cant wait to put my 70-200 f4 l lens on and take some serious shots in vermont this winter.great features and looks good too.
