Re: Don't forget to check out Minolta...

Posted by SET Man on June 28, 2004 at 17:49:55:
First I must admit that I'm a bit bias because I'm a Minolta user for the past 13 years, currently I'm using 7xi. I have use Nikon when I'm working with other photographers and somehow I didn't like it and funny thing is that when I handed them my 7xi it took them just a few minutes to master all the functions.
It would be helpful if you tell me your budget. For arond $300 I would check out the Minolta Xg a very compact 3meg cam, and Minolta Z1 with super long zoom. Other company I would consider in that range would be Canon SD110 Elph which is very popular.These cams would be a good start. But if you want a great all in one cam check out Minolta A2, 8meg cam with image stablizer and high-res screen a very fomidable machine. I would say this is the best 8meg all in one cam in its class. All for about $1000 or less.
Anyway, I hope this help and for more info on Minolta cam and its history check out this great site www.konicaminoltaphotoworld.com
