This body made a film Luddite very happy! February 13, 2010

I have owned a body from the Sony Alpha series of digital cameras for many years, and have collected some wonderful Zeiss lenses to use with my A100 and A350. Over the last few months, I have done many comparisons between my digital photos and the film photos that I take with a Mamiya RZ67 and Rolleiflex...there is no comparison in the quality of image: the film photographs are better in most every way. I have been shooting less and less digital in the last few weeks, and got the idea that I should either sell my Zeiss glass or find a way to use it with film. Enter the Maxxum series of bodies! The Maxxum 70 handles my Alpha lenses very well, although it is a very light body to have connected to a 2 pound Zeiss. Functionality is somewhat limited: there is no mirror-up lock and no facility for a wired remote (I understand that a wireless exists, I have yet to find one). The light meter is great - my first roll was well-exposed without any thought to tweaking the default meter settings. I have only used the manual focus so far; when I switched on the AF, the camera seemed to take good control of the lens. I am very happy with my purchase of this used film body. I will probably look at the more fully featured 7 or 9 to get the mirror lock.
 Awesome Camera for Price! October 1, 2006

This camera is light, easy to use yet feature rich. I compared it to digital (still to expensive for comparable resolution to 35mm film) and other SLR cameras. The auto focus is fast and reliable, although in low light it strobes its built in flash to assist with focusing. The built in flash is fairly powerful and convenient because it is always available. The complex metering system has handled difficult lighting situations well.
The focus may also be done manually, with focus assist. The f stop and/or shutter speed can be set manually. In addition to the default fully automatic setting there are 5 built in subject programs designed for portraits, close ups, sports, etc. There is a depth of field preview which I have not found on similar priced cameras.
Overall I am quite happy with this camera. I was also happy to find that it works with my old Minolta compatible Vivitar 100-300 telephoto lens, and my old Minolta dedicated 3200i flash. For the money I highly recommend you consider this 35mm camera.

Judge the camera for what it is - and READ THE MANUAL! June 4, 2005

First, I would like to comment on previous reviews:
As for the lens shadows: REMOVE THE SUN SHADE from the lens. If you leave the sun shade on during flash/zoom photography, you will get the "shade/shadow effect" you talked about. It's not the lens, it's the shade. This information is included in the manual (always READ THE MANUAL before posting negative reviews!)
To the user disappointed in the manual focus: USE THE FOCUSING INDICATOR. Even in manual focus, the camera will still check for focus. When the small green dot inside the view finder goes solid, you are in focus. Again, this information is in the manual. READ THE MANUAL before posting negative reviews!
Overall, the camera is an excellent value. It is packed with features that were exclusive to cameras costing hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars more just a few short years ago. Prices are dropping due to the change in market focus (everyone wants to go digital.) Where else can you get a feature packed camera like this one for under $300?
For the beginner, a good film camera like this one is a great place to start. Learn the basics and KNOW the camera before making snap judgements. If you take the time to learn the camera and how to take pictures, you will NOT be disappointed by this hardware.
 Lens Shadows Very Disappointing May 17, 2005

I purchased this package as I'm an avid fan of Minolta Cameras... and have to say I'm disappointed with the lenses. Either during wide-angle or 100% zoom, the corners of each photo have the lens in them.
I'm in the process of contacting Minolta about the issue because I love the camera but can't take the chance of losing good photos with the lenses.
