In the world of cameras you're not going to go wrong with this one. Stepping into my first DSLR has been great and it has been an excellent learning experience. Regular point and shoots can not come close. But of course - why not get a Rebel and save some money - well speed for one thing. If needed this camera can shoot up to 8 fps and in my experience has done fine to capture just the right moment for me. Also while I have not purchased speedlites yet - I will in a short while and the wireless control is built into this one which is awesome for Canon. One last note...some reviews may say 18 megapixels is too much but honestly the images I have downloaded off of this camera have been absolutely clear and noise free and additionally on that even when at 6400 ISO the noise is not bad at all.
Recap 1. Fast camera 2. Wireless flash control for speedlites 3. An honestly great image [I use a 24-105 f/4L lens]
What's great about it: It's great to have full control of how you capture your scene
