Hi all,
Due to purchase of a DSLR in the next few weeks, my trusty Minolta A1 is up for sale. The full specification can be found at DP Review. In short, it has the following:
- 5 Megapixel
- 7X Zoom manual zoom, equivalent to 28-200mm
- "Anti-shake" technology to help counteract hand shake (works really well - can even hand hold shots up to 1 second or so!)
- 1.8" moveable LCD screen
- Moveable electronic viewfinder

It has all the other digicam stuff too, such as a macro mode, flash, movie mode, scene modes etc. It has some unique points, such as that most parameters for shooting are adjusting without going into the menus as on other cameras - the layout of these buttons has been really well thought out, and the camera is really nice to use. It also has a manual focus ring, live histogram, hot shoe and PC sync socket etc etc. See the DP Review link for the full details, or drop me an email.

Its a really nice camera to use, nice and comfortable, a portable size, and very well thought out ergonomically. It is is mint condition - i take great care of my equipment, so its always been kept in a case when not in use (not for sale). It comes with all the original accessories, as shown in the pictures below.

eBay it? I very nearly bought an A2 before opting for the 300D, Minolta make lovely cameras.

I worked it out, and it would cost nearly £20 in fees I think. I'd rather try and sell it privately first, but yes, eBay is only a week or two away
