Don't let this fool you. Check to see what the body is made out of. The added weight could mean a more durable and tougher body.

Also, if you're new to photography and aren't exactly sure what you're getting into... I'd stick with a point and shoot. Save some $$ to upgrade later. There are plenty of P&S that allow very similar editing and manual controls that the larger DSLRs do. Get familiar with photography basics and the type of shooting that you do. Part of the reason I chose mine was because it performed so well in low-light conditions - low light photos being some of my favorite to take. It also has a built in leveler in an attempt to straighten out some of my landscapes hahaha.
