Summary: "picture" perfect
Review: 8/28/02
as an aspiring photographer, i wanted an inexpensive camera, but one that i knew was a smart buy. since i bought the STsi, i have propably gone through 50 if not more rolls of film, i started using it in february. this camera is so easy to use, it already has pre-programmed modes. also, you can very easily select different shutter speeds, aperture modes, or change from manual to automatic, and change the iso. i was so surprised when i found out all the features that it had.
and it's even better if you buy a telephoto lens.
[i would though, recommend buying an extra lens filter just for insurance, it's a lot cheaper than buying a whole new zoom lens.]

Summary: Glad I Stayed with Minolta!
Review: After shopping around in local stores & on the web, I'm very glad I stayed with the Minolta line. I was also very pleased with the service and price I got from Amazon.com. This new camera has all the features we like for an easy to use camera to take on family trips and special occasions. It's lite weight with straight forward controls and is giving us great pictures. A great camera for the novice or more experienced user.

Summary: A great camera for the serious amateur
Review: At first I was wary of buying a product that wasn't completely new, and for such a reasonable price. But as soon as I got the camera, I found that it was extremely easy to use, and the only a quick reading of the instructions is necessary to be able to use all of its functions.Very light, and it seems durable enough (I've thunked mine twice now and still no damage!!!) the Minolta is very suitable for carrying around to family parties, vacations, and just about any other type of event. It's very easy to turn on, as opposed to other SLR's that I've seen; you just have to switch the button and take the lens cap off and it's already set to your previous modes. After using simple digital cameras along with regular 35mm ones, I find that this one is simple enough for the everyday photographer to use, yet it has all of the functions and gizmos that the serious amateur loves. The manual and auto focus is wonderful, and the flash turns out well almost every time; only slight adjustments are needed for night pictures, as with every camera. The only VERY SMALL complaint that I would have is that there is a bit of red eye, even with the reduction, amongst people who have blue eyes. But that's easily reparable on a computer or at a photo editing store. Very good camera for your buy!

Summary: Tough decisions,
Review: based only on the information from Amazon.com. I haven't bought any camera for the moment but I strongly recommend to all of you to go to see the Minolta web site to understand what are actually the differencies between their models and decide for which one you want to spend your [money].

Summary: Not for the absent minded :-)
Review: Excellent camera for a novice like myself who has never before had any eperience with an SLR camera. It's easy to use and the quality of photos is just super. I have had loads of fun with the 5 picture modes and the panoramic option. The only thing that is missing from this camera is an auto-off button for forgetful people like myself. I have accidentily left this camera on overnight on several occaisions. Inspite of this I haven't had to change batteries yet so battery life is VERY good.

Summary: Great camera... but newer ones due out
Review: Great camera, but there are newer ones coming out. However, the new ones have the same basic features, so this is a chance to get the camera for less money as they make room for new models.
