I definitely do not agree with a 0 or 1 star rating. I have been shooting
pictures with many different cameras, and decided to buy this one a year
ago. It's important to emphasize the weak points - slow AutoFocus, in
very poor lighting it sometimes can't even focus at all. The AFC mode,
when shooting pictures at moving objects wasn't helpful even once for
me. But the positive list is much longer: manual zoom ring lets you zoom
in much faster than other competitive cameras. The size of matrix is way
sufficient, the jog dial makes camera handling very easy. The flexible
LCD screen is good, at first I thought that's the first thing that will
break, but did not, and lets you shoot pictures from over your head, or
from your feet. The Macro min. distance is a bit longer than other cameras,
but still it's enough. And other features: such as - setting filter (10
modes), saturation (10 modes) and contrast (10 modes). Apart from that
you can shoot pictures in Continuous, HighSpeed Continuous and UltraHighSpeed
Continuous (the latter only in 640x480 pix). The top of it is the remote,
which allows you to shoot pictures of yourself. I wouldn't change this
camera for any other - non-SLR. With replacement batteries at about 8-10
GBP on ebay that's all I need. And it's been rated on 4th position amongst
it's competitors, with 1% loss to them, as all three of them were ex aequo
with 94% rating.

If only a 0 star rating were available. I have been long standing fan
of Minolta, but just handling this camera in the shop was enough to prevent
a purchase. Couldn't afford the A2 when it was available, more's the pity,
that was superb. This felt cheap & plasticky with a truly horrible zoom
action. Was about to commit to a Nikon 8800 when I discovered that the
Olympus E300 was available with two lenses for only £50 more....

I have a Canon 20D. I bought the Minolta as a smaller back up camera and
it certainly fills the bill. Most people do not realize that the greatest
causes for bad photos are camera shake, bad focusing and understanding
focal length/aperture. We always give up something to get something. In
this case the antishake is a godsend. The AF focus is slow but I am used
to that having started in digital photography when the top of the line
cameras were 2 megapixels. If you have the patience to wait for the focus
lock, this is a great camera (with antishake on) I would recommend this
camera to anyone who wants excellent quality without the price of a Dslr.
First choice would always be one of the Canon digital slrs.
