VisionAir 0 #3 February 14, 2004 I should clarify a little moreI prefer Canon as well but with the family discount this Minolta would make a much cheaper replacement for my Rebel 2000 that went ker-splat. Also how hard would it be to make this home mod you speak of? Huh?!? What cloud?!? Oh that!!! That's just Industrial Haze Alex M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rfarris 1 #4 February 14, 2004 QuoteAny one use one of these for jumping or non jumping? Any good? I think this is the one I bought my mom for christmas. If it is, it is a very nice, no frills, 35mm camera. However, there is no place to plug in a remote switch. You could modify it and adapt a bite/blow switch, but you could destroy the camera in the process. You'd be better off getting a camera with a remote teminal. Buy the QTsi anyway and use it on the ground. They are cheap and are a good camera for the price. But if you need a Minolta to put on a camera helmet, the Maxxum 4 or 5 is an excellent choice. Not much more than the QTsi. And just as small and light. They'll have the remote capability you'll need too. cya Rod Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
