Mine was a recent impulse purchase but I am really impressed with it. No complaints with the abilities, but familiarity with controls to get to what I know I want to do (without referring to the manual) is a bind at the moment - need to keep using it so that it becomes second nature ......
I got mine in 2008 and I love it. The images I have produced are the best I have ever been able to make with the half dozen SLRs I have owned. My only complaint is that the body is all plastic, and it feels like it would break pretty easily if I ever dropped it. There are also a few other features I wish it had, like video capability, higher ISOs, and faster quieter auto-focus, although that may also be a function of my lenses.
