Well, thanks to all for the input. I went and bought it...couldn't resist :D
The options it shows as having on the futureshop site do not even come close to what this camera can do (ok, maybe compared to other dSLR's it's not got as much, but compared to my Kodak P+S Z740, it's got TONS of things). The manual is over 140 pages.....lots of reading. There is a quick start guide too, so you 'can' point and shoot if you want.
Personally, as a camera to 'learn' on, I love it! Easy to use, easy to learn (sorta), and great snaps even when just P+S.
I've been learning about it today, just taking shots of anything etc...then clearing them out lol....then I decided to try a dark lit glass shot...and got this...
Took me about 20 mins to get 'the' shot, but I had fun learning.
I'll try to post some day shots if I get time to go out tomorrow.
Laterz...
