Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 review
Just bought my "new" A2 and took approximately 500 pictures. Used the KM FAx to get started with the camera ; this has been a great help ("My Ax has arrived, so what do I do now?")
First impressions : great ease of use and handling, most settings via knobs and dials.
Good quality EVF ; this was my main concern after my E-20.
Live histogram very helpful.
28-200 is just the right lens.
No dust problem.
Shooting RAW -if you've got time to process each picture- lets you adjust the pictures and get a very high quality.
Light, not conspicuous for street pictures.
AS is a nice feature.
Often use MF to adjust AF.
Definitely not a P&S camera, but a great photographic tool.
Problems:
AF can "hunt" a little.
Poor CF card door ; can be easily opened accidentally.
Need to keep to 64 or 100 ISO ; noisy above.
Maybe I should have bought two.
Sony a7R II
Sony a7 III
Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
Sony FE 55mm F1.8
Sony FE 70-200 F4
+4 more
8 megapixels • 1.8″ screen • 28 – 200 mm (7.1×)
