    "Amazing camera"

    by Sneezy1956 on September 8, 2006

    Pros: Uses all old Minolta af lens, feels comfortable in your hand

    Cons: heavier then the XT and lens are expensive

    Summary: I'm in love with my new camera. The pictures are amazing. If you are used to the Minolta 7D you are going to feel like you have picked up an old friend.

    The pictures I have printed are clear and the colors are magnificant. I have yet to find a problem with this camera and I've had it for 3 weeks.
    Updated
    I've had this camera for a while now and I'm as much in love with it now as I was when it was new. Very intuitive controls, the colors are very nice! I shoot in Raw 95% of the time. I do keep mine set on vivid and +1 which seems to bring out the best pictures.

    The lens is a little clunky sometimes when auto focusing but that doesn't bother me. I'm getting very clear sharp pictures with the kit lens which totally surprised me. With a minolta 50 f1.7 prime the pictures are not just amazing they are fantastic.

    This is an ok camera for a beginner but for someone that is comfortable with manual setting it's the cream of the crop in the low end prosummer market.

    There is no comparison in my opinion between it and the the D Rebel. But, that's my personal opinion.

    Thanks for making me feel more confident about my recent purchase of this fab camera! I have only had mine for 2 days but already am quite impressed. I'm a novice to digi slr market and was thinking maybe I made a mistake in not buying the Canon xti, but now feel I made the right choice!
