A great intermediate and advanced camera!.......2004-04-25

I recently purchased the STsi as a "step-up" from my QTsi (also a great camera) and I truly enjoy learning about its various special features.

This is a great camera for intermediate and more advanced photographers, and even recommended to professional photographers as well. Still very user-friendly, like the more basic QTsi, the STsi is the ideal camera for those who want to take that "next step" in their photographic adventures.

A great camera for the serious amateur.......2004-02-29

At first I was wary of buying a product that wasn't completely new, and for such a reasonable price. But as soon as I got the camera, I found that it was extremely easy to use, and the only a quick reading of the instructions is necessary to be able to use all of its functions.

Very light, and it seems durable enough (I've thunked mine twice now and still no damage!!!) the Minolta is very suitable for carrying around to family parties, vacations, and just about any other type of event. It's very easy to turn on, as opposed to other SLR's that I've seen; you just have to switch the button and take the lens cap off and it's already set to your previous modes. After using simple digital cameras along with regular 35mm ones, I find that this one is simple enough for the everyday photographer to use, yet it has all of the functions and gizmos that the serious amateur loves. The manual and auto focus is wonderful, and the flash turns out well almost every time; only slight adjustments are needed for night pictures, as with every camera. The only VERY SMALL complaint that I would have is that there is a bit of red eye, even with the reduction, amongst people who have blue eyes. But that's easily reparable on a computer or at a photo editing store. Very good camera for your buy!

Not good for proffesional.......2004-01-02

This Camera s quiet good for learner because the feature is simple. But if you wan tot used manual shoot you will have a problem. Event it's offering the manual Aperture and Speed but it's difficult to use. The feature is close to the automatic pocket camera. The differentiation is only the lens because we can use the Minolta series of lens from 80 m to more. If you want the camera with automatic adjustment for aperture, speed and focus, and want to take a best shoot with various lenses, this is appropriate for you. But when you start using manual adjustment you will have a problem.

"picture" perfect.......2002-08-29

8/28/02
as an aspiring photographer, i wanted an inexpensive camera, but one that i knew was a smart buy. since i bought the STsi, i have propably gone through 50 if not more rolls of film, i started using it in february. this camera is so easy to use, it already has pre-programmed modes. also, you can very easily select different shutter speeds, aperture modes, or change from manual to automatic, and change the iso. i was so surprised when i found out all the features that it had.
and it's even better if you buy a telephoto lens.
[i would though, recommend buying an extra lens filter just for insurance, it's a lot cheaper than buying a whole new zoom lens.]

Minolta Maxxum STsi 3 1/2-4 Stars.......2002-06-27

I was excited to finally be able to purchase a new SLR camara. After reading several reviews and comparing various manufacturer specs, I decided the Minolta Maxxum STsi would give me the best bang for my buck. As soon as it arrived I began taking pictures of my cats, dog, and house. I was really pleased with the Minolta's weight and ease of use, and the shots I took resulted in clear photos. My only disappointments are the panoramic option and flash. I didn't expect the "wide screen" effect created by the panorama function. Both the tops and the bottoms of the photos were cut off. I obviously have more to learn about the difference between a wide angle lense and one that creates a panorama effect. And within 90 days my flash crashed. I heard my flash unit pop (much like a failing light bulb before it dies) while taking an indoor photo, and it hasn't functioned since.
