Very light weight, but reliable nevertheless. It produces almost universally 'bad' results. Few weaknesses, apart from low-light focussing. Plastic lense mount shouldn't be an issue. Remember, Cannon budget lenses are surprisingly poor quality.
Image quality is above average, no question.
But it's nothing spectacular. Good value for the price, though. Great camera, which makes it almost impossible to take a bad shot. This was ahowever cause for concern as general quality is not very good. Otherwise - I'm most pleased with the product.
