So you've been liberated right? The Canon is fast
Fun
And portable. Then you wake up one day to go apple picking or to go to the beach or you wake up one evening and go to a party—whatever. You bust out your trusty camera. It's dead. Or maybe you charge
Modest battery life
Pricey
Slightly soft default images
LCD is not best in class
No hot shoe
Sluggish RAW shooting and flashrecycling times
Short battery life
Especially when GPS is used
* Sluggish RAW shooting and flash-recycling times
More camera than many need
And perhaps less than pros would demand. Dedicated movie button on backside eliminates one photo control
