This is the first lens I purchased for my new Sony Alpha A55 DSLR Camera! I was happy with the lens my camera came with, but I really wanted to get good photos of things that are further away (like at the zoo or amusement park).
The lens feels very durable, which is a plus...I hate things that feel cheap, but it is still very lightweight and compact. I am still learning when it comes to these professional cameras but I mainly shoot on manual settings, and this lens is very easy to use even for a newbie like me! I recommend getting a polarizer filter too if you are shooting outdoors!
The price isn't too bad either, especially for a first lens!
I highly recommend this. In fact, I don't know what I'd do without it!
What's great about it: lightweight, durable, great quality, fast.

If you like FPS games, and really interesting storylines, this is the game for you!
The story is creepy, unique, and even disturbing at times. I normally don't play creepy games, and I wouldn't call this a horror game, but it definately has it's creepy gross moments.
The weapon options are pretty darn cool. What's better than electrocuting people with your hands? or lighting them on fire and watching them run around the room screaming? And its great that you can incorporate both your guns/melee weapons as well as your plasmids (i.e. freeze them, then beat them with a wrench and watch them shatter!) The graphics are pretty good too.
Like i said above, i REALLY like the storyline. So if you enjoy a good FPS, and a good unique story that isn't like all the others, get this game.
What's great about it: The storyline is creepy and interesting, very unique weapons.
What's not so great: Not the longest game in the world.

If you like KOTOR or Oblivion, this game is for you! I was a bit skeptical at first, but after playing for a while I really got sucked into the storyline, and I'm really not that far into the game. There's plenty of side quests if you need a break from the main storyline. The only downside is that your health goes down pretty fast even when you're playing on "Very Easy" mode. But I guess that brings an extra challenge to the game.
I highly recommend this game if you like shooters and/or RPG's with a good storyline. I will be playing this game often!
What's great about it: Open-ended, tons of quests, pretty darn good story.
