I bought this camera about 6wks ago & i really like it..i am NOT a profesional but i am learning cool stuff every day. just have fun & dont let it intimidate you.
I take alot of pics of my cat...landscape..plants..my son & hubby hate having thier pics taken so that is a drag...lol.

its a good cam for portraits (imo)

I'd have to say this is a very fine choice for a first Pic. (What about the kids? ;))
Anyhow, I might be buying this same camera next moth so maybe you can give me your feed back after you get used to it.
