We went around several times over this issue in the last three years. You can put a tuxedo on a pig, but its still a pig. When a company uses a well known a legendary " Brand Name" to attract the gullible, and put in things like a Minolta 1 year warranty icon ( gold seal with the Minolta name ) its just the beginning of a scam. Can they use the Minolta name, legally, yes, no maybe... but it is Not a camera Made by the legendary Minolta company. It doesn't say Konica Minolta. So where is the Minolta company that backs the advertised one year warrant? It doesn't exist. Red flags should be going up everywhere. Obviously the American consumer is so gullible, this company is making cameras with the Minolta brand name to attract these people. Sad.

I fully agree with you .

It also seems that they are only sold in the USA , no doubt because the laws are different , unless you buy one via the grey market on ebay etc.
