Great Beginner's Camera

This was my first real camera that I've used. I've been using it for about 3 years now and it's a real work horse. It's a great step up from a point-and-shoot and I would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking to get into photography but it's looking for a wallet-burning sensation.

Problems:

-No External Flash Controls
-Low Light can be problematic
-Battery life is alright.
