I am not a pro or not a kind who is picking up photography just like every other guy on social media. I just wanted a decent dslr for general purpose and choose to invest once in a overall good DSLR instead of entry level models such as 3 series or 5 series. This is a mid level DSLR camera that can pull off very good images in all environments. I majorly use it for my travel or holidaying. Its a bit on the bulky side. Good camera with advanced features and buttons that make it using it more easy than the touch screen models.
