hi all,

Me considering purchasing the Minolta 800si.

Main Reasons:

(1) Price had dropped tremendously
(2) Somewhat a Pro camera (data memory, IR AF illuminator, 94% viewfinder,...)

Main Dislikes:

(1) 3fps (Arrgghhh!!!)
(2) No rear flash sync (is it true???)

Can anyone provide me with more of their experience (or hearsay also can) with this little "baby"????
 

Eh.. it's really old. How much is it anyway?
 

No lah, not that old...still in production...made in 1997. Anyways, the cost of it had dropped to S$700 before discount!

Just imagine, 14 honeycomb matrix metering, spot/center weighted metering, IR AF illuminator, 3fps (letdown), 9 roll data memory, 94% viewfinder, 1/200 flash sync, tough body, LED lightup, 4 CCD focusing, 9 multi-exposure, 3,5 or 7 bracketing, ....
 

How about another $700 more for a modern Dynax 7? :D
 

Heck, did consider that...but S$700 more can buy more lens....:(
So many choices...too little money...:cry:

PS: Another S$3000 more can buy Nikon F5....:devil:
 

YSLee, you got second hand to sell for Dynax 7???? Cheap cheap lah...:gbounce:
 

Another $4000 on top of that gets you the D1x. :D

lol, i don't eat mice nowaday. I prefer chicken(white).


Anyway, I don't think you can get Dynax 7 second hand lar. This is a new/sweet baby. Don't think anyone will give it away.
