Bought it despite strong protests from Canon/Nikon owners and can proudly declare that i own a winner of this class. Things which I like most are:- * Its lens are cheaper. * It has better/more options & functions that are user friendly. * HDD & Auto ISO feature rocks. * Clarity is good. * Screen could have been better & twist side ways (Like Canon)would have made taking self shots easier. * Grip is over claimed to be better on this one (Canon still leads). * Price could have been lesser as the MP are a little less in comparison to others in the same family. * Video features are the best and no other camera in this category can beat it at the moment.
