TL350 Great camera

I wanted a pocket SLR and the TL350 does a great job. Owning both a 7D and 5DII I wanted a camera that could take good pics for sharing and also mantain a high quality level, have manual controls, shoot fast, shoot good video, raw and fit in my pocket..... The TL350 does it all....

Image quality is great I am very happy, and the speed is very fast for a pocket cam, focus and shoot different subjects in just under a second, if all about the same distance about instant, as fast as you can frame the shot...

Price was the best in class, much less than the canon but I feel much better to shoot with, the canon feels real slow like a point and shoot....

Powering up is very slow and one of the biggest down falls it takes forever to power up but, then it is lighting fast to shoot with... Full manual controls, raw. I have takening some really good photos for 4 X 6 prints and web sharing I'm completly happy with..... With some minor lightroom adjustments the photos can hold their own on my smaller digital frame.....

No focusing during video sucks and the canon may be better for video....

Panaramic mode is sooooo cool. I like the use the TL to frame shots somtimes before I shoot with the big cameras..

I've had it almost a year, I love and I highly reconmend it.....
I feel it is the best pocket SLR.........

Problems:

None so far....
