That Cannon will take a decent pic, it is trim of a few features.
In my case for doing some wildlife pics it seems like there is never enough lens. So when people ask me about a camera I tell them to pick the lens they want first then get a camera to run it. IS is a great feature too.
Another note, to me cameras are somewhat like guns, fit and hold are important. The smaller handled camera bodies affect how steady I am and how smoothly the trigger operates. Handling a few side by side is helpful for me.
