The SLR is dead. Long Live the SLR!

Advantages: Good range of features, Lightweight, Cheap
Disadvantages: Out-dated, out-specc'd

...

The minolta 505si fitted the bill admirably, and still does although there are now better cameras available.

The first thing you notice about the camera is that, for an slr, it is small. and light! Even with a standard lens attached, it's probably one of the lightest slrs you are going to find.

You can stick an accessory flashgun on to the camera for improved flash performance and to help reduce red-eye in people shots. The built-in flash pops up when the camera thinks it’s necessary ...
...Portrait. These modes use what Minolta regard as the best settings for these types of shots, leaving you to concentrate on taking the perfect picture. Some people like them, some don’t. Experiment and see what you think! The body of the camera is well built, albeit a little plasticky. Mine survived a few knocks and a drop or two and still took good pictures. Lesser cameras would have fallen to pieces at the first bang, but not the 505. It’s not ...
