Fantastic camera, has so many great features and its compatibility with all EOS lenses is fantastic!
As someone who likes to take great photos without carrying around heavy and bulky camera this is a fantastic compromise. It also means when you are family events you don't look stupid/imposing with a normal looking camera.
With the standard lens it is fantastic at low light shots, the video is good and you can take some stunning shots.
If your recording max-HD video for more than 30 min I recommend the Komputerbay 128GB SDXC (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CX8SJDM). Although not a name brand it is fantastic for this camera with the highest read/write speeds and the cheapest for the size.
There are two downsides, one is with the lens in this kit the autofocus is a nightmare, it will keep refocusing constantly even if you aren't moving, lucky if you get a lens more suited to recording movies (with STM so camera focusing doesn't make too much noise).
The second down side is the hard 30 minute time limit. This is literally here so the camera doesn't get classed as a camcorder and avoids higher tax in Europe and is there for no other reason as the camera is quite capable of recording over 4gb of data without stopping recording. There is a way around this with magiclantern (be warned this voids your warrenty and can 'brick' (make unusable) your camera) which will save your video and auto resume within a couple of seconds.
