 Jezer's recommendation | |
Good for begginers, fairly cheap,
Very breakable so rendering it a false economy, additional lenses etc for Minolta difficult sell and to find outside of 'the west'.
Halfway into my Everest trek my Minolta Dynax 5 broke, pretended to be OK at low altitude then broke again on the Annurpurna trek. I replaced the body with the Xtsi (slightly different earlier version.) Only to discover halfway into my Indian trip that the replacement never worked from day one as the shutter was out of sync. I now have no pictures of this travel. The moral is don't take this on backpacking trips, and now Minolta have given up the chase with Cannon and Nikon for the non digital market it's only going to get harder to trade in old ones. I am stuck with lenses I have no use for. Nice results to begin with, nice and responsive, easy for a beginner but heavy on battery use.
