My last SLR was a Canon FTb which I bought around 30 years ago. Yes, you can just imagine the change in technology. Even though I currently own a Canon G3 and familiar with digital photography, I bought this camera to improve my Hockey photos, primarily to use a faster shutter speed and remove that annoying delay in camera response during shooting. I’ve been very impressed with it so far. With a cheap $120 Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens, I am able to use it in Tv mode, ISO 1600, AF Servo, and a shutter speed of 1/160 to take pictures that just need a little fixing-up in photoshop to produce near professional quality pictures.
My next step would be to save enough money to be able to purchase a faster lens (f2.8) to increase the amount of light reaching the sensor in dark-lit hockey rinks.
I recommend this DSLR to anyone wanting to improve their school-based sports photography on a budget.

Good protection, it looks like a “Batman camera” but it really works!!
HOWEVER…!!! the plastic hard cover for the screen make difficult to access some functions, so that’s why I prefer use it without screen protection.

I use this on my XTi and love it. However, let me be the second person to mention that the lense hood that comes with it is useless, even with the lense included with the XTi. I use larger Tamron lenses anyways, so I guess it’s a moot point. I let my dog chew on it, and so far, he hasnt died so it must be non toxic.

The armor looks sturdy, but it is not easy to change lenses while the armor is on. Everything else seems to be fine. We haven’t tried to smash the camera against the rock while it is in the case, but it looks like it will protect against some damages.
