Ditto; Read my lips; NO more new camera gear, ever..........  period ! Bought my A900 & grip, A99 & grip, 58/flash etc. nearly minty new, in box for about 1/3 the price and no taxes either ! Stv

It all started back with Minolta. The 7000, 7, 700, 77 were considered consumer film cameras or APSC Digital, whereas the 9000, 9, 900, 99 were more pro-consumer and FF Digital.

Oh yes, most certainly. I misread your gear listing and "thought" I had read A77II and not the A7II. So sorry, my bad ! Stv

There are better choices out there. Remember that 24mm is a 36mm on an APSC sensor. I had the Minolta vs. on an APSC camera, which I liked very much until I quickly out grew it.  I discovered that ...

Don't give up, the deals are out there; you just have to dig for them. A few months ago I picked up (locally) a minty @99 ( 5k cliks) & a new VCG all on Kijiji  for $1,300 CDN. Steve

Best and Worst : same camera..... Minolta A1..... Luv'd the Articulating Screen and Anti-Shake Sensor (all new features) and Hated the Fixed Lens and Poor EVF. Keep it just long enough (weeks) to ...

Thanx for the F/B info and joined the site. I just purchased my @99 a few days ago. Retired the @900 to backup status for now. Cheers, Steve

Luv the hues, Ed.

Cool landings!

Congrats Ed, .... beauty catch........ well done bub!

The Olympic could use a fresh coat of whitewash! Nice chaser. (btw:we have a common acquaintance in the Sarnia area; a Peter Whitfield) Cheers, Stv

Nice work old man. Stv

Like. Stv

Want MINOLTA colours? Try setting your WB Preset to "CLOUDY" { or set to cloudy/-1 if too yellow } (@900) and leave it there ! Steve

...... that when it does arrive,  it's rebadged as a Hasselblad A99II ! ...... };>)P ...just say'n. Stv

I can recall a sunny afternoon in the summer of 1975 in Sarnia, Ont. and watching the SS Fitz heading downriver while passing under the Bluewater Bridge. It was a huge ship even for a Laker, and I ...

Alan Linde; Stv – so how much better, in low light/high iso, do you think the 99 is compared with the 900? I'd like to think we are going to get a 99II. But if not then my question is whether it's ...
