 Scott.'s recommendation | |
I purchased a second hand Minolta Dynax 500si camera from a well known UK photography shop chain (Jessops) about a year ago. The camera from the start had some sort of technical problem, where an error text would be displayed in the LCD panel. The word "HELP" would be shown, and the camera would lock up. This could only be rectified by removing and replacing the battery. This problem appears erratic, sometimes it is ok for 7 or 8 shots, other times it would do this after one shot only. I returned the camera to the shop, and about 2 months later it was returned - it had just been serviced and cleaned as far as the documentation claimed....and the problem still persists...I have not used the camera in extreme temperatures and I have not dropped it. In actual fact I have hardly used it. If anyone has suggestions I would be very appreciative, though in honesty, with my experiences, I would not recommend this camera.
