I bought this camera for my father for christmas and he LOVES it. I personally have a Minolta Maxxum 5 SLR and LOVE it, that's why I bought this one. takes GREAT pics once you get used to the auto focus.
The Maxxum 50
[ Posted: 2006-11-26 ]
INTRO: I have had the Minolta Maxxum 50 for about a year now, and it has been completely trustworthy. All of the buttons, switches, knobs, etc. seem to be durable, and the camera as a whole seems very durable. I've used this camera for both color and black and white film, and both develop perfectly. The exposure on this camera almost always is right, only on a few pictures has it been over or under-exposed (I think a filter would have fixed those). Recently, I bought a 70-300mm, 4-5.6 lens for it and it has handled that well. Picture quality is still good with a non-Minolta brand. Altogether, the Maxxum 50 is a very good camera for the money, I bought it for 200 dollars in 2005, and is still worth the money today.

DOWNS

BIG DOWNS
Don't think there are any
CONCLUSION: If you are ready to spend money on film and development, this camera is great for a beginner, or semi-pro. Even a child could learn the simple features of the camera, yet it can be manually adjusted. This is a good buy for $230 dollars or less.
