8 mpix cameras seems to be very popular nowadays, but Iīd like to stick here at 5 mpix level. Is Minolta A1 any good 5 mpix camera for learning photography? I found out that there is still some "new" A1 on market here in Finland for price of 400€ and it fits my budget fine. Comparing with other 5mb cameras it has some great features for me like cf slot and 7x stabilized zoom. What are itīs flaws?
I have now canon ixus 400 (Powershots400), that is very nice pocket size camera, but itīs becoming too automatic. A1 seems to be fine update for a long time. Would there be problems using same cf-cards with both cameras. Thanks for advice
