content: I just moved up from a digital point and shoot, an Olympus C-60 which takes excellent photos. I was into photography seriously years ago and owned a Minolta SRT101.After spending considerable time researching digital SLRs I chose the Sony for a number of reasons: its anti-shake and sensor cleaning features and the fact that there are so many Konica/Minolta lenses available for it.I have no regrets. The camera is very easy to use, the menus are intuitive and the controls are easy to learn and use. Images are awesome! I have used both the kit lens and a used Minolta 70-210 zoom. Some of the photos I have taken look totally professional. I was never able to get images anything like these with the old SRT101!I am having a lot of fun with this camera!
