Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Minolta Maxxum 5 Date 35mm SLR Camera (Body only)
Customer Review: VERY light and feature-rich, perfect for advanced amateurs
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is really marvelous, pretty light to lug around and superb performance. The following features are the ones which makes it a great buy for the price- Eye Start (I love it, this feature is not there in Maxxum 4)
- 9 point autofocus, focus lock
- fully automatic mode, shutter-priority/aperture-priority and fully manual modes
- red-eye reduction, in-built pop-up flash
- convenient pre-set program modes (portrait,landscape,close-up,sports and night portrait)
- upto 9 multiple exposures
the film loading mechanism is smooth and easy, though it could have done with a warning message (rather than a blinking '0') when film is not loaded properly.
Has focus indicator, locks shutter when still focussing (can happen when using zoom telephoto lenses), has exposure range warnings, shutter speed warnings (if the recommended aperture or shutter speed is outside the range of your lens), the eye-sensor could have been better, but this drawback can be overcome with the exposure preview button, all in all I'm very satisfied with this camera.
Note: don't compare it with professional grade cameras like Nikon F 100... this camera does not have a color database like the pro-grades, so your exposure might be off by 1-2 stops when shooting extremely bright/dark subjects due to 'mid-tone'ing.
