FAQ for Minolta Talk Forum: advice for newbies

Michael Henderson said:

This thread is a repeat of one that i started a few weeks back.
Some people suggested that it needed a more descriptive title so
that people would be aware of its purpose, so that's what i've done.

As anyone who frequents this forum knows, the same questions often
keep coming up again and again, especially from those who are new
to the forum and, understandably, may not realise that their
questions have been answered many times before.

This problem seems to be especially common among those asking
advice on which camera to buy.

So, with that in mind, i have gone back over the first 100 pages of
this forum looking for threads that deal with some of the most
common questions asked by people considering a Minolta Dimage
7i/7Hi digital camera. This took me back to the beginning of
Novermber, around the time that Phil posted his review of the 7Hi.
The results of my search are posted below, in categories.

If you are new to these boards and are thinking of buying a digital
camera, check out the appropriate links below and you might find
that your questions have already been answered. And if you're a
helpful "oldie" on this forum, but you don't want to type out the
same answer you've given 10 times already in the past, then please
direct newcomers to the this post so they have a starting point.
(My list was too long to fit on one post; please see the second
post for the rest of the list).
