| sharmck's Full Review: Konica Minolta Freedom Supreme EX 35mm Film Camera |
The Minolta Freedom Supreme Ex.
What a great little camera! I have such bad luck with cameras. In fact I spent most of last year using disposables. I was in denial of the fact that I really needed to spend more money on another camera. Mostly it’s been me dropping or loosing them that have led to my misfortune.
Finally this summer I decided that it was time to get another one. I wanted a camera that was easy to use, fast, reliable, durable, and took great shots, had red eye reduction, automatic timer, and was easy to load. Hey I wasn't asking too much was I?
Well to my relief the Minolta Supreme Freedom Zoom lived up to all my specifications. It offered me everything I wanted and so much more. I am the mother of 3 young children. I love to take pictures of everything! First days of school, Birthday’s, Outings, Loose teeth! You name it and I have a photo of it as it happened to each one of my children.
The Minolta Supreme Freedom Zoom offers many features. Here are a few of them and what they do.
Red Eye Reduction – This is a special feature that helps prevent those awful red eyes that sometimes show up in our photos. It causes a double flash to happen. The first one goes off and causes the subjects pupils to close. Immediately again a second flash goes off capturing the photo. By using this feature the pictures that are taken indoors and at night become red eye free!
Continues Drive – This allows you to take back-to-back pictures by just holding down the shutter button. It’s a wonderful way to capture picture of moving objects. You can take one picture after another in a series never having to worry that you missed the right shot!
Date and Time stamp - You can set this feature to imprint the date and time right on your pictures. I normally don’t use this feature because I don’t like seeing that on my pictures. I prefer putting the date on the backs. You can also use a similar feature to add text to your picture.
Close Ups – You can take close up pictures without having to worry about them being blurry. Nothing worse then trying to capture something up close to discover that it’s just a blur when you get your photos back.
Portrait - You can put the setting to portrait to take quality Portrait shots. Like the one’s that you would get professionally done. Helps to save us money since I can take many of the kid’s pictures this way instead of having to drag them to the local portrait studio for Christmas pictures.
Zoom – This camera will zoom up to 125. Which allows you to shoot things clearly without having to be to close. The picture also enlarges nicely without becoming distorted or out of view.
Automatic timer – You can set the timer to take the pictures automatically. This allows you to be included in the picture too. You can set it for 1 – 2 – 3 minutes so that you have plenty of time to get yourself set up in the photo. Great for when you are going after portrait shots.
Point and Shoot – No need to focus! It’s done for you, just point it and snap the picture.
Automatic Flash. - Don’t worry about forgetting the flash. This camera senses when you need the extra light and will automatically pop up.
These are just a few of this camera features. There are many more. A nice large instruction booklet that sort of reminded me of a college textbook came with it. Please read it! Just knowing how to use the features makes the camera so much better.
Very light weight and small. I can just pop it into my pocket and go. No need to worry about feeling bogged down or uncomfortable. The battery life seems to be fabulous, as I have not yet had to replace the batteries in the 3 months I have owned this camera. I use it a lot!
I purchase mine at Circuit City for about 275.00. With all the great features and wonderful pictures that this gives me it was really worth my money! I am sold on the Minolta Freedom Supreme EX for life. Well at least until a better model comes out!
- Just kidding!!
