General Comments

I am using my Minolta 505si for the last 2.5 years now and have no problem using it in extreme temperature environnments like during Minnesota winter at -20C and hot summer at 45C in India.

A good camera for beginer in photography but lacking in features and robustness for serious amateurs.

    I know exactly what you mean, though, as a beginner it gave me a lot of pleasure, previously restricted to a sub 1Mb digital joke. If you're a beginner - it's simple to use, takes sharp, vivid photographs - I found it to be tougher than it looks, as my doberman kindly proved ;)

    If you're looking for something a little more advanced - look elsewhere though.
