Great camera at a great price!

Why did buy this camera? Hmmmm.... well, I have an afliction, something along the lines of gottahavethatnewgadgetitis... so I've got several digital plus film cameras plus motion cameras. My wife had taken over an old Rebel Xs that I bought years and years ago, and she's the anti-gadget gal... the simpler, the better.
The old camera needed replacing, and she wanted to stay with film, so the search begins. This camera is rated very highly for an entry level camera, yet it has many features of the more expensive models. It's very simple to use, and takes absolutely wonderful photos. So, it's a great middle-ground, enough gadgets on it to keep me happy, enough automatic items to keep her happy... and those of you who are married know - keep the wife happy, and the house stays happy!
So, if you are looking for a hardy, sturdy camera that you can take with you anywhere, it accepts literally hundreds of lenses, it's easy to use yet has enough gadgets for the geeks in us, then this is a great place to start. It's robust enough to hand it to your teenager to get them started in photography, and pairing this up with the vast assortment of available lenses you can shoot pictures as good as any professional! My 11 year old daughter is taking photos with this, and you can't tell the difference between her's and mine!
So far, no negative critique to this camera. I got exactly what I wanted, and at such a good price that I'm totally happy with this purchase. How can you go wrong with that combination!
