Nice Camera with some drawbacks
|
Initially, I purchased a Minolta Maxxum 4, but was sent the Maxxum 5 instead. No problem, as I figured they were basically the same camera. As has been mentioned, the camera is feather light, which in my opinion, isn't necessarily a plus. I have never cared for the feel of a point and shoot, and this camera reminds me of that. Even though, it's heavy on the functions, and has all the neat stuff a high priced camera has. But, it has some drawbacks. Nearly all of my pictures taken in the auto mode with flash have been overexposed. Every now and then I'll get a nicely exposed photo, but it's been rare. Also, I've had trouble with the power on this camera. Not sure what happened, but I couldn't get the camera to come on. I replaced the batteries (twice), and still no power. And then, as if by a miracle, the power came on and I haven't had any trouble since. Now, wouldn't that be a pain if one were in a situation whereby you were taking memories that were priceless?? Another thing: My camera came with a CD that has the manual on it. I don't care for that in that I've had to print it out and try to make it compact enough to carry with me on shoots.
If I had it to do over, I'm not sure this would be the camera I'd choose. Problem is, I like the functions, and they're relatively easy to learn. Picture quality (so far) hasn't been what I'd expect; not anything near my Minolta Maxxum 7000 that I've had for 15 years. |
