Dimage Minolta Product Review!
I have owned a Nikon Coolpix digital camera for a little over two 1/2 years and in that amount of time I have taken over 3000 pictures. As I examined for cameras with greater 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. Because of this wide range, it is feasible to make many alternative photographs with this outstanding camera.
Another wonderful feature that allured me to the Dimage Minolta was the anti-shake feature. A camera with a powerful zoom isn’t helpful if you cannot hold it steady enough to get a clear pic. Despite the length of the zoom, the Dimage Minolta camera is amazingly compact and simply fits into my fanny pack which is exactly what I wanted.
Another feature that I just love about the Dimage Minolta is the adjustable LCD screen which is much sharper than the one on my Nikon. This allows you to shoot over head or at a low angle and still see what you are aiming at. You can fold the LCD to where it is facing the camera body to protect it and also take photographs by trying the EVF viewfinder. Which permits you use less battery strength.
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 can also be effective for long exposures on a tripod like dim lighting shots. For dim lighting shots, it’s got noise cancellation to where it will take a 2ND photo with the shutter closed to record any “hot spots” from the pixels and take away them from the final picture so it is clearer and doesn’t have all those white dots on it. I attempted this and it takes great low light photos – in truth the Dimage Minolta took the best low light photographs I have gotten with any camera I have used.
The time between shots it pretty quick. Faster than my Nikon actually. It has manual or auto focus I used manual with it at infinity for my night time pics since this like many auto focus cameras can have trouble focusing in dim light scenarios. The macro may be employed at either the wide angle or telephoto ends of the zoom. I have not especially attempted that yet. Nor have I attempted the flick format which is claimed to be glorious. There are 2 resolutions you may use for that.
I thought my little Nikon 4mp camera took nice footage, but the Dimage Minolta blows that away. It is easy enough for a novice to use it on “Auto” but has enough features to delight most execs too. I already have taken several pictures with this camera. They are very sharp – from the wide angle thru telephoto. This camera fit my desires and then some – with all the options usable that this camera offers. If you’re serious about photography and yet wish to make it simplistic, the Dimage Minolta is a exceptional camera!
Observe I have not debated the eight mega-pixels the Dimage Minolta has. The reason for that is because it wasn’t a consideration for my reason to buy and enjoyment for this camera. Four mega-pixels is a lot for most uses particularly since most users may not be making prints bigger than 8 x ten. But this camera certainly gives you that chance.
I praise this camera! The photo is what the eye sees, and the Dimage Minolta will help you to capture what you see with simplicity. I very highly recommend it!
