@jamesstaddon Oh, good! I am so glad that it’s all right. I definitely have not experienced any limitations. The only limitation is in the lens, because I keep wanting to take landscapes, and find that I will surely invest in a wide-angle lens one day soon. My course is going so well, and I am enjoying your teaching! I take my camera everywhere I go, and am getting some good shots. I love everything about it, and see my interests gravitating toward landscape/wildlife and travel photography!
I got the kit for a total of $533 including tax, and that came with the camera, 30-55mm lens, strap, Takima tripod (which is of great quality!), 2 San Disks, 2 battery packs, battery charger, cleaning kit, set of 3 lens filters, and camera bag. I am very happy with the kit, and I have run into only one problem- I can’t get the UV filter off of the original lens! đ
