Great camera. Bigger photowells means better noise results. Has 1.5x crop factor because of the DX format (chip is 2/3 size of a full 35mm frame), so the 18-55 lens gives you a field of view of a 27-82.5mm lens. The 18-55 is an excellent lens; the 55-200mm is good, but I would recommend the VR flavor when you have the $$$.

You'll need a microscope to view your pictures!

Are you kidding me hurl? 6.1 mp can go very far, megapixels mean nothing if you can't take pictures. Also the more MP there is does not mean you will have better pictures, it just means everything is more compact and ugly.

#5, megapixel is not an accurate measure of picture quality. Google it or refrain from posting when you don't have a clue.

I always check Ken Rockwell for reviews and he gives this camera high marks.
