At the heart of the camera lies a 10.1-megapixel sensor, which is supported by the DIGIC III image processor. Into its third generation, the chip has won praises from professionals and amateurs alike, so we guess the image quality should be on par with that of the EOS 450D, since both utilize the same APS-C-sized sensor and image processor.
Bundled with the body is the 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 image stabilizer (IS) kit lens. The IS feature was found only in the "L" series of professional lenses in the past, but now casual shooters can also enjoy its benefits. However, we think having IS in lenses is a double-edged sword (see more in Downside).
The Live View implementation is a good way to help those used to framing their pictures on a compact digicam screen. The Japanese imaging giant's rationale is that this will ease the transition process from point-and-shoot units. It is coupled with autofocus and we think this is really handy. Though not a new function (the Sony Alpha A350 and Olympus E-420 have it also), it is definitely something newbies should look out for when buying their first dSLR.
The rubberized grip feels deep and comfortable to hold, but for some of us with big hands, our pinky tended to dangle off the camera and it felt awkward at times. From what we've seen, the ladies with smaller hands have an easier time handling the camera.
