After many years of doing as much as I could with my point and shoot I finally decided to take the DSLR plunge. I am happy I did.Firstly, I bought canon as I have owned other canon products and have been happy with them. My brother has a Canon 7D, which also influence my decision on brand. After reading extensively on all the types of Canon DSLR's I decided on this one. It was a toss up between this and some of the high end digital rebels. I'll let you find online reviews for figure out the difference between the cameras.
Great solid construction. Kit lens 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS UD. Glad I didn't go with the 18-55. I've really enjoyed having the extra zoom. If I had it to do over again I might even give consideration to the kit with an 18-200mm lens. I bought a 50mm f1.4 prime lens separately. I knew I would want it for some low light and portiat photography I've been wanting to do.
Anyway. I've really enjoyed the camera. Been doing some timelapse/long exposure/star trails/trick photography after reading the many online tutorials and it has been a blast.
I wish there was a built in intervalometer. Hopefully canon is working on this and I bet in a year or two it will be standard in even mid-range DSLR's. Didn't really know this would be a function I would use as I didn't know I was going to be enjoying timelapse photography. If timelapse really interests you that might be something you would want in a camera. However, I found a really good/cheap intervalometer on an un-named auction site and I have no limitations in that department. I guess there is a software intervalometer on the canon disc that comes with the camera; if you want to do that you just have to tether it to your laptop/desktop.
