NICE LOOKING COMPLETE CAMERA

A very good & capable SLR
, Mar. 31, 2003

It's a very good & capable camera. But I have a few suggestion for new & amateur users to avoid possible initial disappointment - 1.Don't use factory-set 'All-auto' mode initially. Use aperture-priority mode with shutter speed 125(or at least 90). Read t

Maxxum 5 is cheaper, better & lighter than Canon Rebel 2000/Ti or Nikon 65. It has more features than others at the same price level, such as 1/4000 speed, 3 frames per second and so on.

Best so far.

This is the 4th Maxxum body that I've owned. By far the best. The new 7-point autofocus is fantastic. It locks on really quickly. Full slate of built-in programs. A couple of ounces less might not sound like a lot(versus the Minolta HTSi Plus)but it
