Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Minolta Freedom Zoom 125 Panorama Date 35mm Camera w/Remote Control
Customer Review: Fuzzy Pictures
Summary: 3 Stars
I just bought this camera for a month. I took a roll (400) of pictures but it came out fuzzy. It seemed like the lens can't focus the object right. Plus, it's not as perfect as I thought before I bought it. Anyway, I like the style and the compact size of this camera. I would still recommend it as it comes with a remote control which I think it's worth for the price.This is my second review on this camera and it's been six months already. I think the camera is getting better and better. Might be the first roll (400) I didn't use it properly, so that's why they pictures came out fuzzy. Then I started using regular 100 and 200, the pictures are very good actually. I would strongly recommend it.
Description of Minolta Freedom Zoom 125 Panorama Date 35mm Camera w/Remote Control
One of the tiniest and lightest advanced 35mm compact cameras around, the Minolta Freedom Zoom 125 packs a lot of excellent features into its stylish, streamlined aluminum shell (with plastic backing). The fully automatic Freedom Zoom 125 boasts a 37.5-125mm zoom lens for wide angles and excellent close-ups (sharp as close as 1.97 feet), along with a multi autofocus system, (so people standing apart, for example, will still be in focus), and a three-segment light metering system with a highly accurate AE sensor for great exposures under most conditions. Also included is a remote with a working range of approximately 16.4 feet. It provides two shutter release modes: standard mode triggers the shutter as soon as the button on the remote control is pressed, while the delayed mode takes the exposure two seconds after the button is pressed. Now you can include yourself in the shot without racing against the self-timer. And, so you'll never again have to wonder when you took those pictures, the Freedom Zoom 125 comes with a time/date stamp.Minolta used state-of-the-art 3-D CAD design technology to incorporate so many great features into such an ultracompact body. They also developed special optics for this camera that use a low number of double-sided aspheric lenses able to achieve high-quality pictures while not taking up much space. A trigonal roof prism allows for a shorter viewfinder optical system, too. All in all, this is an excellent camera if you want something that fits in most pockets, yet takes high-quality photos to match those of most larger compact cameras. One last feature Minolta is proud of for its uniqueness: the film-chamber lock prevents the back of the camera from being opened when there is an active roll of film inside--the back won't open until the roll of film has been fully rewound.
