I prefer the photo taken with the Minolta RD3000, it looks sharper and much warmer colours. I recently bought a copy of my first digital camera, a Minolta Dimage A1. It still takes great photos and is great fun to use.

Don't forget that my comparison contains more than 80 photographs

I sure prefer the Minolta RD3000's white balance in all the shots!
