I bought this camera at first release - up from Dynax 7D. I use the vertical grip and with this it is a fantastic setup. It is easy to use with a well thought out menu system. Picture quality is really good - especially RAW. With it, I bought the Carl Zeiss 16-80mm zoom lens. This really shows the camera off to its best. The images are so sharp it's more than I expected. Overall, it's a proper camera buff's camera. Live View? - dont need it, its quick to review pics via histogram or via the fantastic screen. I think me and this camera will be freinds for a very long time and I have no hesistation in recommending it to anyone. The Software that comes with the camera is really good - in fact I use the Raw Converter more now then the Photoshop Camera Raw - and that's a real compliment.
