Best Digital SLR Available in this price range
(Gwen H - 12/19/06)We did a lot of research and reviewing before we made our final purchase and I have to say, I think we made the best possible choice for the amount of money spent. For a beginner photographer, this camera is easy to start using immediately and gives you enough options to slowly learn them one by one, experimenting and learning, but still getting professional results! I was glad we bought the DVD tutorial made for this camera also. The only problem we are having is with finding the right lenses to learn with. We bought the A100 body only originally because we believed our Minolta Maxxum lenses would work with it; however, beware! One of the lenses (Quantaray 80-200) works great, but my "walk-around" lens, (the Quantaray 28-90) does not work with it in the Autofocus mode, only manually... So now we have to start from scratch finding a new walk-around lens. Other than that, we are completely satisfied with this camera for the price. I would highly recommend it for anyone, but especially a beginning SLR photographer.
