I love this camera! It is easy to use, and the prints I have had developed have turned out beautifully. Clear, sharp images with beautiful color! I am delighted with this purchase and would recommend this camera with out reservation to anyone who is looking for a good quality SLR.

I think this is a fair price for this camera it is a good camera and can have many attachments to make it great! I recomend it!

I bought this camera after seriously considering the Nikon N80 and the similiar Minolta XTsi. I bought a Sigma 28-200 zoom lense and still use the cheap Minolta flash attached to this body but the flash does not work all the time anymore after 4 years of moderate use. Sigma lenses with that much zoom are not worth the money. I used my less expensive Sigma 28-80mm with macro capabilities and low aperature.

Although I regret not saving up $100 more for the N80 when I was only sixteen, I did get a good value on my STsi. I have taken several pictures, some of which have received small local awards for. Visit art.com, original artists, R, Christy Reno to see my portfolio I have done (mostly) with this camera.

Critical review: the honeycomb matrix system is not all it's cracked up to be. Black and white color images are not accurately automatically metered. The features are nice. I thought panorama would be fun for landscapes and slim people, but my local photo processor always made the colors too dark. It has nice automatic buttons you can use to grow with. The internal LCD panel gives you the aperature and shutter speed of the exposure. Overall, this camera is easy to use if you're willing to be patient with it. The autofocus is slow though.

What a bargain! Great camera! I have a hard time putting into words how much I love this camera. Wonderful creative options and versatility.

Along with the camera I purchased the Vivitar Series One 28-300mm Auto Focus Zoom Lens for Minolta AF SLRs and I find the combination to be amazing. Having just ones lens in the 28-300mm range is so convenient. The pictures that I have taken using Fuji 400 film are clear and the color outstanding. I still have so much to learn about this camera and I know I will be taking great pictures for years to come.

I recommend this camera and lens to anyone that wants great! pictures.
