Any Info would be Great. Cheer's



Im looking at getting into the car detailing business so it will be used just for general close up pics and use.

well, If you know NOTHING about cameras, this thing will bamboozle you. Although it is one of the simpler SLR's its not as easy as the good old point and shoots. You can of course just do point and shoot, but why spend $1000 when you can spend $300 for a really good point and shoot.

That is a pretty cheap price, seing as how they are $1200 brand new, but has only one lense and nothing else apart from the manauls.
