I have owned a Nikon Coolpix electronic camera for a little over 2 1/2 years and in that duration of time I have taken over 3000 pictures. As I looked for cameras with powerful zooms, there were two I liked the range of- both the Canon Pro1 aND the Dimage Minolta. The Dimage Minolta 7X optical zoom provides me a great range from wide angle to telephoto. Due to this wide selection, it is possible to make many alternative pictures with this outstanding camera.

Another wonderful feature that attracted me to the Dimage Minolta was the anti-shake feature. A camera with a long zoom is not useful if you can’t hold it steady enough to get a great photo. Despite the length of the zoom, the Dimage Minolta camera is amazingly compact and easily fits into my fanny pack which is exactly what I wanted.

Another feature that I think is great about the Dimage Minolta is the adjustable LCD monitor which is much clearer than the one on my Nikon. This allows you to aim above your head or at a low angle and still see what you are aiming at. You can fold the LCD to where it’s facing the camera body to guard it and also take photographs by using the EVF viewfinder. Which lets you use less battery power.

The Dimage Minolta LCD will also turn absolutely forward so you can do a self portrait by employing the remote control to trip the shutter. The remote may also be effective for long exposures on a tripod like low light shots. For low light shots, it’s got noise cancellation to where it will take a second picture with the shutter closed to record any “hot spots” from the pixels and take away them from the final photo so it is more clear and doesn’t have all those white dots on it. I tried this and it great night pictures – in reality the Dimage Minolta took the best low light pictures I have gotten with any camera I have owned.

The time between shots it pretty quick. Faster than my Nikon certainly. It has manual or auto focus I used manual with it at infinity for my night time photos since this like many auto focus cameras can have trouble targeting in low light situations. The macro can be used at either the wide angle or telephoto ends of the zoom. I have not really tried that yet. Nor have I attempted the film format which is claimed to be glorious. There are two resolutions you can use for that.

I thought my little Nikon 4mp camera took nice pictures, but the Dimage Minolta blows that away. It is easy enough for a beginner to use it on “Auto” but has enough features to delight most professionals too. I already have taken several pictures with this camera. They are very sharp – from the wide angle through telephoto. This camera fit my wishes and then some – with all the options available that this camera offers. If you are serious about photography and yet need to make it simple, the Dimage Minolta is a remarkable camera!

See I did not debated the 8 mega-pixels the Dimage Minolta has. The reason for that is because it was not a concern for my purchase and enjoyment for this camera. Four mega-pixels is a lot for most uses especially since most users won’t be making prints larger than eight x ten. But this camera certainly gives you that possibility.

I praise this camera! The photo is what the eye sees, and the Dimage Minolta will certainly help you to capture what you see with simplicity. I most definitely recommend this camera!
