Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: Very flexible, great lens, good resolution, light weight, great picture quality, surprisingly little noise in low-light situations, ability to embed AdobeRGB color profiles directly in pictures Weakness: not cheap, particularly compared to the Minolta Dimage A2 which I own now I was trying to decide between the yet to be available Sony DCS-F828 and the Minolta A1. Each had on paper things going for it: The Sony has what is likely an excellent Carl Zeiss lens, 8-megapixel resulution, and a new 4-color CCD. The Minolta has an APO lens, and their lens technology in general can keep up with the best, because they got their know-how originally from a joint venture with...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: The lens is amazing and sharp, the battery, the SLR results and flexibility in options Weakness: Lots of controls to learn and understand with 2 seperate control wheels The A1 is such a great product. The camera fits perfect in your hand, not to heavy, not to light for good control. The Battery is the best I have ever seen on ANY electronic item. I just shot for 8 hours, 225 photos and the battery is still showing more then half full on one charge! The auto shake mode gives tripod, clear images while hand held. The Lens is a 28-200 with a digital zoom (manual...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: Versatility Weakness: none After much research and having owned a Minolta Dimage 7i.. It is perfect for 8x10 photos printed on an HP7960 inkjet printer. The Minolta A1 is a vast improvement over early models, many features and ease of operation.. the antishake feature is great. Excellant move retaining the 24-200 zoom lense!

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: Incredible functionality. With anti-shake engaged you can forgo the flash a large majority of the time. Weakness: Some noise in long-duration night exposures. You name the adjustment, this camera can do it. Great pics out of the box with the auto mode. 16MB CF is lame, but replace it with a high speed 512MB and you can take pictures all day - the battery is incredible. There is also a lot of customizing of the controls that lets you make the camera exactly what you want it to be.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: colors, image, adjustment latitude, optics, manual zoom, image stabilization in the body, function, quality, and feel Weakness: are usually operator caused There are many complicated cameras on the market, however, there are few, to one, whose features function, and whose features blend together. Better get one while you can, because when they are long gone, people will still be looking for them.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: Great pictures with fine detail, natural color and texture. Extremely flexible. Logical layout. Easy to use. Fast focus and writing speeds. Very good battery life. Weakness: It does require thorough knowledge of its many adjustments to get the best out of this camera in marginal situations. Read the manual thoroughly. I am very pleased with the smooth, natural, detailed quality of the pictures with this camera. The Minolta Dimage 7 has a sharp, in-your-face picture; the A1 is a bit understated by contrast. Which is more realistic? Which do you prefer? It is easy to use; most of the time the preprogrammed point-and-shoot setup produces excellent results. The ease of use invites experimentation to find out the...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: Picture quality is superb. It has auto features that help it to accomodate non-technical users. I read the manual in under and hour, and was shooting right away. I researched this thoroughly and am very pleased with my decision. It is a complicated camera.. requires some familiarization to take full advantages of features. It's worth it though. Great value too!

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: Great zoom, good resolution, anti-shake and moving object tracking Weakness: price, only uses proprietary batteries and may be complex for novices. I did a great deal of homework on what camera to buy and I am very happy with the A1. I have owned 2 digital cameras in the past and new I wanted a good optical zoom and high resolution. The manual zoom and focus ring are a great help, if you have trouble focusing it’s so much easier to use the ring then to have to go into a menu and manually focus through the software. The Anti-Shake function...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge CameraStrengths: True Color I did a lot of research, after 35 years of 35mm SLR, I wanted to get the same feel with a digital camera. I tried several camera including the new Canon under $1000.00. Price wasn't as important as the confort and feel of the camera. The Minolta A1 is by far the best in it's class. I love this camera.

Minolta DiMAGE A1
Minolta's new 5-megapixel, 7x zoom DiMAGE A1 shows the result of literally years of refinement, across no less than four generations of development. It has *way* more features than I can even begin to mention here, but suffice to say it's one of the most capable prosumer digicams on the market, with one of the best lenses to boot. If you're looking for the ultimate in creative control and optical... Top

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A1 Bridge Camera
Strengths: I own a Minolta Maxxum 600si film camera witha 28-200mm lens and this camera is the digital equivilant and at half the size.
Weakness: none found so far
I can use my Minolta 5400HS flash and RC-100 with this camera. I have ordered Minolta's BP-400, which will extend my battery time and also give me a vertical grip.
