Never used the Minolta but I can vouch for the Sony, really enjoy using mine. May be wrong but I think Sony may be doing cashback on it at the moment.

Ah yes, did try a quick search initially and didn't find anything. Have now found another thread with the info I need. Thanks.

Hello all, Just wondering if anybody knows anything about www.valuebasket.com. I am looking at d7000 prices and they are reasonable, but only if it's UK stock, which I can't seem to ascertain from their website.

Yes I looked at the 7d but would ideally like something with an articulated screen, something that I have found useful on a couple of occasions on my a390. May be that I wait until Canon announce a successor to the 7d next year and take it from there, although a couple of the new Nikons look...

Thanks for the helpful comments everybody. I have looked a little at the newer Sony cameras but have been put off the translucent mirrors a little from reading various reviews (particularly around ISO performance). Still really undecided but won't need to make a decision until early next...

I am in the early stages of my photographic journey. I am in the process of deliberating on what camera to get to replace my Sony a390 and have been looking at the 650d and the 60d. When looking at some comparisons on the web reviewers have made reference to the fact that the 60d is higher...

Currently only really considering new. I will probably be looking to buy early next year so I am hoping that the current models will be available at a decent discount then.

I find some of the indoor shots a little noisy and feel I may benefit from better ISO performance. Also some extra functionality would be nice, for example exposure bracketing as I would be interested in trying some HDR shots but tend to find it quite difficult to adjust the exposure for each of...

Hello all, Got my first DSLR about 2 years ago now. I got a Sony a390 as an entry level to see if I would take to DSLR photography, and I have to say that I have enjoyed it very much. I still class myself as an almost complete newbie, having managed to venture away from the auto settings on...

Just joined the site and thought I'd follow guidance and post a 'Hello' to everybody. I have gotten the photography bug pretty late (mid-30s). Got my first DSLR a couple of years ago (Sony a390) as it was on a decent offer at the time. Was a complete newbie to it then and am not much more...
