My first DSLR bought almost by chance after years of P&S was a Sony A200 (wish I'd kept it - had a special colour with the right lens) then having recently decided to try film again it was a Minolta that came my way...sort of a coincidence really!

Well if you fancy trying out a Minolta autofocus camera then you'll have a good reason to get another or the a100 .

Or s Dynax 7d , if you can find a good fully working one .

The a200 list a few functions the a100 had but gained from a slightly better A/F and slightly better high ISO abilities .

It's the CCD sensors that gave these cameras , and the Minolta digital cameras their nice colours .

The later cameras mostly came with CMOS sensors which render colours differently .

I still have my a100 , but haven't used it in years after I replaced it with an a580 .

My main digital cameras now are the a900 with an a77ii as backup or sports/ telephoto shooting or a Sony NEX 7 if I want something that fits in a pocket .
