it will only make you sad that you actually bought it.

Especially the lack of built-in sensor cleaning is a problem for beginners that don't have experience cleaning their sensors yet.

Then the low-res LCD screen slow burst performance. 5 year old sensor without the live view tweaks give it a avoid at all cost rating.

Canon users on this forum will likely advice a camera up the Canon ladder.

However there are more options.
