    DSLR's are all pretty decent the lenses are what really will make a difference. Did you get a big memory or a good memory card? The better ones are stupid expensive compared to the rest but for the DSLR cameras you want a good card they are able to process the data faster and allow the camera to take fast exposures longer, for sports or racing say if you want to take 30 continuous shots a slower memory card won't work as well. Nice buy though

    Decent deal considering this is a newly released Camera.

    I was also looking at the new Sony NEX7 Compact.
