My first DSLR and I love it. It has full photo control as I had with my pro SLR and is only missing liveview to make it a perfect DSLR. The fact that I can use my Minolta AF lenses made it a no brainer choice and with the motor in the body any lenses are cheaper.

Bought this as my first DSLR, and whilst it worked, it was a good camera, but after 1 year it would not work anymore, as the main board, and power board, blew leaving me without a camera unless I paid £300 to get it fixed. I feel i have probably been unlucky, however, as before it broke it was a good camera.
