The Price is Definitely NOT Right!

Okay, I feel compelled to give the camera some love here.  I like mine and with some decent glass it will take some decent pictures.  That was the camera's point.

As an entry level camera I feel it fits the bill.  More than that, as a gateway drug to higher priced cameras, it definitely works.  It will last as long as I need to collect better glass and decide how I want to update (RP or T7i) but I have a while to go until I collect all the glass I want.  My guess is that it will last until then.

Acknowledging your original point about it being okay at a lesser price...  Fair enough and would I have preferred to pay $100 less than what I did?  Sure.  Better in my pocket than Canon's.  That being said, the market ultimately sets the price and they've sold a lot of them.  Also going that low may have required a bridge camera like the Nikon CoolPix B500 or a similar Canon model (haven't memorized the models yet) and those didn't provide the flexibility.

I could have bought a used one but chose new.  Buying used RC aircraft (my other hobby) has never proved successful so I decided to go new.

We all have our rights to an opinion and, in a democracy, one could argue that we have a responsibility to have one but mine's going to differ here.  I like it.
