- sensor shaker
- modern image processor

If you buy a kit with the lens - which I recommend - check out if the lens is the IS version of the plastic 18-55 lens. People are generally not enthusiastic about the previous versions (without IS) - it seems it lacked definition. Check the reviews on this site.
