Had and still have a Minolta Maxxim 7000 and 70-210 Minolta “A” mount lens and 2x teleconverter. Love photography, but not going to the store to get pictures developed, this is a great camera that gets me into the “digital” age and back into photography with relative ease. I’m lovin’ it!

I am a photographer-wannabe graphic and web designer.
I have taken this product to photoquests where I’ve subjected it to different types of landscapes, light and climate situations — even some soft rain.
So far it has behaved beautifully with good battery life, fast enough recording speeds and good image quality even on its lowest settings.
The lens work good, but have had trouble trying to get long distance pictures (not enough optical zoom) but it was to be expected, and can easily be fixed by attaching adequate lenses for said purpose.
Only issue may be with the LCD screen, as it tends to get scratches on its surface ratter easily, so I’d suggest you get some sort of cover for it (I haven’t been able to find it where I live – Colombia, Southamerica). Guess I’ll have to buy it through Amazon too.
Can’t really give much more advice as I am just a n00b at this stuff, but I can tell you this camera has opened a new door in my head and career I think won’t be closed for the foreseeable future.
Excellent product if you’re just learning, I’ll let you know if it keeps up.
