Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / UK Photography / December 2004Upgrade help
I currently have a Minolta Dynax 5xi with two Minolta xi lenses, one 28-80 the other 80-200. I had been looking at getting a digital SLR and was edging towards the Canon 300D, but I cannot justify the money at the moment. I see that Minolta now have a digital SLR that would take my lenses, so this would be one possible future upgrade. I have decided to wait for the digital SLR to come down in price/second hand. Until then I would like to replace the 5xi with another Minolta body. My local camera store T4 cameras has a 2nd user Dynax 700si for ?140 is this a reasonable price and what would I gain? Failing that what other models would people recommend. I am out of touch with the various Minolta model ranges since I bought my 5xi. many thanks Vernon Don't forget that your lenses will all be a bit longer because the chip will be smaller tham the 35mm frame. > I currently have a Minolta Dynax 5xi with two Minolta xi lenses, one 28-80 > the other 80-200.

It may be worthwhile trying to find Minolta website/newsgroup and asking what was a good pro body around 4/5yrs ago which you may get a good deal on. All the best anyway, and who knows maybe Santa will surprise you with a digital dynax? There's also a Dynax on ebay but the reserve has not been met yet, though 2 days to go: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15237&item=3861387412&r d=1&ssPageName=WDVW Cheers, Stephen >I currently have a Minolta Dynax 5xi with two Minolta xi lenses, one 28-80 >the other 80-200.
