Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Minolta Maxxum 5 35mm SLR Kit w/ 28-80mm Lens

Customer Review: Minolta Maxxum 5 could be trouble
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this camera the Date model from Tri State Cameras 2 months ago. I ran 2 rolls of film through it and every thing went fine. All of a sudden the next 6 rolls did not expose the film at all. I found out the shutter louvers malfunctioned. Lost my whole vacation pictures. Then I thought I found out the probluem and the date back malfunctioned. I had a nice yellow beam of light accross the bottom of all my shots except the last picture on the roll. This was the next 5 rolls. Sent back to Minolta for warrentie service a week ago. I have not heard anything yet. I am very disapointed in this new Minolta camera!
Buy a Canon or a Nikon.

Customer Review: Good camera!
Summary: 4 Stars

I really like this camera. This is my first auto focus SLR. It's small and light. You can set it for automatic everything or choose the settings manually. The pop up flash is great. The only problem is that some of the features are confusing to figure out how to work. But overall I would recommend it.

Customer Review: Nice Camera
Summary: 5 Stars

very nice camera... im still looking for lenses though. i want one that goes to F1.4 and it is so far difficult to find something that fits that AF lens mount that can do that, but maybe MD mounts will actually work. also, buy this camera at [another website].

Customer Review: are you as tired of digital as I am?
Summary: 5 Stars

...then go back to your roots young man (and woman). This camera won't set you back very much, and does absolutely everything. You'll NOT be able to use all the features you USED to pay $[money] for. The lenses are great and automatic. The 28-105 is just superb. And being 28mm, you actually get the whole room, etc. instead of today's standard 35-39mm which is bogus. This is a spectacular value in a camera. Don't be fooled by the tv ads of 'rebel's', etc., this is the easiest, most powerful, lightest, best built, most versatile 35 SLR made today. Forget digital; it's time has not yet come. Put some money in good film and watch how pleased you'll be.

Customer Review: Guaranteed to make you have fun
Summary: 4 Stars

I own a Maxxum, but older, and I only can say, awsome.
Automatic features that make this camera a pro with just the touch of a button.
I specially like to use it with a iso400 films.
