    Good Points: Has all the features you may ever want. Excellent handling. A real prosumer camera.


    Bad Points: None.


    General comments: For a serious amateur/hobbyist like me the Minolta Dimage A1 is the best digicam (except for the A2) there is, especially at today's low price. It is a camera designed by photographers for photographers. I don't think it is THE camera to buy for point and shoot photographers but if you really want to be in control of your shooting, there is no other digicam that can beat it. The Antishake mechanism really works wonderful. I have shot razor sharp pictures at full tele (200 mm) with a shutter time of 1/15 sec. The only other camera I may buy in the future is a digital SLR because of the interchangable lenses.

    Since buying mine I have not found anything about the camera that I don't like. If you like the idea of being fully manual YOU CAN. If you want to go fully auto YOU CAN. If you want to go anywhere in between YOU CAN. Even my wife has been able to pick it up and use it and she is a confirmed technophobe. Fot the price I doubt if you will find a better deal. When I was comparing cameras I was surprised to see that the picture quality was actually better than some cameras costing £200-£ ...

    I bought this Minolta Dimage A1 digital camera to replace a Fuji S602. What a mug !!! Slide show presentations are poor verging on bad depending on the subject of the photo. Videos are nowhere near as good. Now I am stuck with the realisation that I have spent a lot of money on a camera that does not perform as well as the one I had. The only sensible option is to dig out the Fuji from the back of the wardrobe and start using it again. (Will the Lord Commander of the Universe and all that lives ...

    The Minolta Dimage A1 is a great SLR-Type camera with non-interchangable lens .. but who cares it offers a great zoom range from 28 to 200 which covers all the lenses in a SLR. I have taken thosands of photos but i havent seen any hint of purple fringe and thats exceptional. Read the professional reviews on:

    This Minolta Dimage A1 digital camera takes great pictures, pin sharp while hand-held at speeds which would normally necessitate a tripod. I understand that there is a bit of noise on night snaps but that isn't relevant to me. Otherwise the pictures don't need any post-production in Photoshop.

    The Minolta Dimage A1 is one seriously good camera. Image stabilised CCD, means that hand held low shutterspeed shots can be confidently taken. I have used digital cameras costing more than four times the cost of this one, and the Minolta Dimage A1 wins hands down.
