The HDR mode is very good, there are no problems with image alignment when shooting handheld. Some very nice features that set it above other cameras in the range. Customisable menu is a great help if you like to de-clutter and only have options that you want/need.

EDIT:I am having some difficulty with how light and small this camera is having had it for a little while now. This is a very good 'entry' level DSLR that can definitely be used by the amateur (Because of all the helpful information on the massive high quality display) and semi-professionals and professionals alike. Overall this camera is spectacular.

However the pictures with the kit lens aren't as sharp as I would have hoped. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a new SLR as an upgrade from a previous one. It does not feel nearly as substantial as my 20D did. This is a massive upgrade from my Eos 20D and I am very happy that I have purchased it.

Autofocus is fast and exceedingly accurate with the 18-55mm kit lens. One downside is that I thought the camera would be a little bigger than it is, so I'll probably be getting a battery grip at the first chance I get! you do get quite a lot of focusing noise in video footage when used with a non-STM lens, though again, I'll update when I have one.

I'm going to treat myself to an L lens and I'll update on sharpness and image quality then. I basically bought this camera for the full HD video in which it excels. I spent hours and hours on the internet trying to find decent reviews on this item.
