This camera is really for the amateur/professional photography market. The controls are very well laid out with most of the major functionality incorporated in the rotating dials at the top of the camera. 3 types of metering modes are selectable – spot, centre weighted average and 14-segment honeycomb. Autofocus has a 9-point sensor for user selective focusing. It can be set to continuous autofocus mode for subject tracking. The most useful feature is the large lcd display that shows simultaneously information film number, shutter speed, aperture, flash status, metering setting and autofocus setting that is easy to read. At the press of a button, this display can be switched to show exposure history for the previous 5 frames taken.
For the beginner, the camera can be set to the full auto program mode, where the camera controls all major settings and it becomes a point and shoot device.
I have used the camera for weddings, holidays and proud to say I captured the last commercial flights made by Concorde. All pictures from this camera came out perfectly and have never failed me due to an equipment limitation. My previous SLRs were the Dynax 7 and Dynax 600si and this latest incarnation of the Minolta “7” series SLR does not disappoint. Fans and users of Minolta will find the quality and feel of the camera very familiar.
