Not for heave video use
on November 26, 2009
Posted by: IndyCanon
from Indianapolis, IN
The camera certainly makes great pictures. The video is still a challenge with overheating, no live focus and no guarantee on the quality of the image. The compression can sometimes be a challenge The lenses make depth of field great. This is a still camera that can make decent pictures in the hands of someone technically savvy and very patient.
Pros: Solid Operation
Cons: noisy, Heavy/Bulky, overheats after extended video use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worst purchase ever
on June 18, 2011
Posted by: Steve
from Oregon
Purchased this thing new. The first disappointment was the focus screen fell out of the mount and chipped a corner. The next this thing has very large pixels in RAW. Will not focus
with distance shots. My 7D is a far superior camera every way over this.
