I searched a lot on this kind of DSLR, though I am not a professional photographer here but wanted to capture every moment in detail for my Family, this camera is very good if I put on Sport action or auto mode its enough, I am learning all the options it may take time. The battery is also awesome, my fried has Nikon D5100, and D5200 its almost the same price but the battery for him is not goog he gets 300-350 Shots, for me I already took 400+ and the battery is still 70% up so I can take many many more. hats off
