Looking to buy a DiMAGE 7Hi. good buy?

[Spaztik]

the fact that its discontinued by minolta makes it even cheaper. ill probably pay 450-500 dollars for it. It's a very good camera indeed huh? I love so many things about it like mechanically adjustable zoom, manual focus, high-res. EVF, EVERYTHING is manually controlable, LCD screen on top of camera like in the old days, 4 different jpeg compressions, 28 mm wide angle et cetera et et cetera....

any comments?

if you do get it at $450-500... GRAB IT!

great buy!

I doubt if anyone would be willing to sell at that price. Too low for its value.

yeah.. like i mentioned.. if u see one at that price, grab it..

although a more likely going price is $800-900...
hehe like my set..

=)

well, if i'm given a choice, probably i'll choose to invest in A1 rather. the AS thing will definitely come in handy in low-light conditions.
how much is a second hand A1?

I totally agree with ileaf, especially so for the battery life too (I had it use for one charge for 300+ pictures with mix use of flash sometime).
