Hello all, this is my first post, so i thought i'd make it a good one...
Firstly, thanks for the excellent info and discussions that are available for us to read! i was just going to post my question but then i started reading... 3 hours (literally!) later and i am still reading, so i suppose i'd better get askin'
i've got a Minolta dynax 5xi SLR at the moment, and i am looking at getting a digital camera in addition to, or as a replacement for, the Minolta.
a rough idea of what i would like is below.
i know i'm a bit fussy maybe, but if you don't ask...
3.2 Mp CCD 2048x1536 images
3x optical zoom 35-105mm f/2.8-? with good lens quality
Program AE, Shutter-speed priority, Aperture priority and Manual modes
Movie mode w/sound, 640x480 res
15 seconds to 1/2000 second Shutter speeds
Center-weighted or Spot metering
Selectable ISO settings from 50 to 400
Powered by standard AA type batteries
Waterproof Case option
USB and video out
additional lens and filter options
Interval Timer 1 hour plus
adaptors to take photos thro my telescope would also be good
any one know if i can get an adaptor for my Minolta telephoto lens?
Hey, that should keep you busy for a while ;-)
oh, and if i could get the basic camera for around the £200-250 price <g> (giggles with that funny laugh people have when they ask for what seems to be the impossible!)
thank you for reading through that lot!
God bless,
Austin
