Two pro photographers recommended this to me. The noise level (or the lack thereof) is what sold it for me. Image quality is great for a small APC sensor. Anyone looking to lighten their camera load will like this.

I enjoy the form factor and quality of this camera. I deducted a star because the start-up can be a little slow and the battery life isn’t the best so buy extra batteries and an external charger.
