Pros: Lightweight, high resolution, easy to use.
Cons: Expensive batteries.
Summary: I was just going through my Epinions and realized I had not written a review on one of my cameras. I've had it for so long now that I thought I told everyone about how well this camera works. Since it's been a while since I've written a review on a ... read more

Pros: Well loaded with features, light, Compact and very easy to use.
Cons: No DOF preview. A little nose heavy when you put qualiy lenses on it.
Summary: I bought this body with the intention of learning and growing into it. I have since moved on to a more pro body, but love to shoot a roll of film just for fun every now and then.
This camera is REALLY easy to use and has more features than you ... read more

Pros: Very Easy to use. Excellent pictures.
Cons: A little expensive.
Summary: I bought this camera as I needed to graduate from a point and shoot. I wanted to take close ups and more creative photos, as my first child has come into our lives. The camera has already paid off in great pictures. Color and Black and White now look ... read more

Pros: A great beginner/amateur camera. Has many features higher end cameras have at a lower price.
Cons: Manual that comes with camera is not very helpful.

Pros: Small, Light, Quiet, Good looking, Plenty of Features and Accessories
Cons: Can't really think of any
Summary: Well I bought this camera for £220 in the UK (where I live) after I broke my first proper camera, a Zenit TTL. Thus far the Minolta 505si Super which is what we call it over here has performed faultlessly during a short holiday where it was used ... read more

Pros: Compact size, convenient controls, light-weight.
Cons: No depth of field preview. Poor flash coverage at widest angle.
Summary: 0) Overview:
I have owned this camera for a year now and I am quite happy with it. I bought it as a replacement for my Minolta X-700 which I owned for 14 years. The X-700 was still running strong, but I wanted something with auto-focus and an ... read more

Pros: Portable, Easy to Use, Good Documentation, Solid Design, Grows with you
Cons: No depth field preview, Expensive and doesn't come with a lens
Summary: This is the first camera I ever brought. I did extensive research before I purchased it and finally decided on it because it had all the features I wanted and needed. One of the better things about this camera is that it is very expandable so as you get ... read more

Pros: small and lightweight, not too expensive
Cons: could have more features, feels cheap
Summary: This is a great camera to learn on. Not as imposing as a fully manual body, yet more functional than a point and shoot.
This body gives you one great feature: eye-start, which will turn on the camera when you put it up to your eye, which I ... read more

Pros: Ease of use, autofocus, continuous shots, price, feature rich
Cons: More expensive than most point and shoot cameras, some unituative controls
Summary: If you're a parent and your kids are walking or better, then you need this camera!
For a long time we used a 'point and shoot’ camera that was adequate for our everyday needs. For really nice photos I used my trusty old Olympus OM-1 which ... read more

Pros: Great resolution!!!!
Cons: Expensive batteries
Summary: When I had my first child I took picture all the time. The camera I had was okay, but the resolution on the camera made my beautiful new child look a little...well, fuzzy! However, I continued to use it.
When I got pregnant with my second ... read more

Pros: very versatile
Cons: not as convenient to carry as a point & shoot
Summary: I first saw the Minolta Maxxum line back in the late 1980's, and ever since then, I knew that this was the kind of camera I've wanted to own.
But I bought a point and shoot due to sheer convenience and price. It was an excellent camera, and ... read more

Pros: Function control, light weight, versatility
Cons: Battery hungry, expensive
Summary: The Minolta XTsi series of camera bodies is an outstanding addition to the Maxxum family. It is markedly lighter than the original Maxxum 5000-7000 series, weighing only 387 grams, and infinitely more versatile. While my faithful Maxxum 7000 will stay ... read more

Pros: Durable, dependable, my brand of choice
Cons: Not for digital freaks
Summary: Anyone who practices the art of photography as a career or hobby seem to have brand loyalty when it comes to their camera and film equipment. Since I was 16, my camera brand of choice has been Minolta. My Minolta has taken pictures of Washington D.C.

Pros: Ease of use, many advanced features, uses any Maxxum SLR lense
Cons: None so far!
Summary: I bought my XTsi about 2 years ago, and have shot no fewer than 200 rolls of film with it since then, all with the same fantastic results. The XTsi has the simplicity of an AF point and shoot for novice users, as well as the functionality and features
