Minolta Dynax 800si Review

Good Points
Most control adjustments readily to hand. Better than average range of lenses. Well put together and sturdy for a camera in this price range. Excellent feature list.

Bad Points
Some often used controls behind hinged door. No mirror lock up. I'm not a great fan of DO Field preview buttons, all lenses should have hyperfocal markings.

General Comments
I have used this camera extensivly for two years and it has never let me down. Exposures are constant and accurate. The in built flash is very powerfull and produces excellent exposures. The range of features on the camera means that you can develop your photogrphy to a high level without the need to upgrade your system. I would have preferred metering modes and focus mode selecters to be in place of the never used memory button on the top plate. But small grumbels aside this is an excellent camera for the price and one which will deliver professional results.
