the fps is fast enough for the rock climbing photos i like to shoot and it is great for landscapes, which going outdoors climbing takes me to some of the most beautiful places in the us and canada.

more than you need for landscapes and things that don't move, but it's somewhat of a hindrance, particularly for a newbie like me who is relying on the autofocus system to track fast-moving subjects.

the camera itself is a very sturdy build, much more so than the rebel series cameras, which makes it a much better choice for photographers interested in wildlife or other outdoors photography.

autofocus is quick and accurate - it follows fast moving race cars delivering lots of sharply focused images provided your long-lens technique is good.
