Review: This is my first SLR. I owned a Canon Point and Shoot (Sure Shot 85 Zoom Date). I considered the following factors in my research for a good SLR. - smallest and lightest camera in its class
- budget Price - so competitively priced
- eye-start feature is very pleasing
- 1/4000-sec shutter speed is required for fast and moving subjects
- autofocusing ability in low light
- locking back cover after film loaded
- quartz databack After using this camera for 2 roles of Kodak 200, I am quite satisfied with all the above features. I have tried all possible ways to test this camera by taking many pictures of my son. I tried all Subject program selections (Obviously I used it as a point and shoot in auto mode. Still I am exploring Manual and Advanced features). This camera did not fail a single shot. I could get clear pictures for all my trials. As I compared Maxxum 5 photos (Auto mode) with photos of my Point-N-Shoot Canon Sure Shot, Maxxum5:
- I could get all photos with 100% success rate in all light conditions
With clarity of distinction between subject and background Point-N-Shoot:
- 70% success rate and other photos are very dark or very light
- Canon absorbed more colors and more vivid* *I believe this is due to Auto settings (Aperture Size / Shutter speed) and their match with the used 200 speed film. So I decided to try 400 speed film with Maxxum 5 to check correct color absorption. Until I explore all advanced features. As with the Maxxum5's shutter speed, I could get very clear action pictures of my son while he is playing in school playground. Still I need to learn more and explore this camera more. I received my order recently from Amazon along with free bag. Do not count on the free bag. In my view this bag is worthless.

Summary: Great SLR Camera
Review: This is the best SLR camera in its class. I purchased this camera and an additional lens (70-300 mm minolta lens) and the photos are out of this world. The clarity of this camera is excellent. The camera is well worth your $$.
