1. It is an old item but the seller sell it as new. And it does not work, does not charge the batteries, I have tried it for several batteries. None of them are charged. Very disappointed.

1. The original charger was in a backpack that was stolen. This charger is the replacement for my Minolta X60 which is working once again.



2. This product was exactly as advertised, a replacement charger for my camera battery. It arrived promptly, and I was happy with the service.

5 comments about Minolta Maxxum HTsi Plus 35mm SLR Camera Kit w/ 28-80mm Lens.

1. I went from a point and shoot camera to this one and I love it! In plain English, I can set the f-stop, set how long the shutter stays open, take two pictures in the same frame, take continuous shots, and exposure bracketing lets me set the meter then it takes three shots: the one I set, 1/2 stop under and 1/2 stop over. Plus, in the five program modes I just press a button to select which mode (macro, night, landscape, etc.) and it automatically knows where to focus for the kind of picture I want. Just about all the features of a full manual camera, yet I just press the P button and it goes right back to full-auto point and shoot mode. With 400 speed film I've taken excellent pictures in almost no light in the night mode.

   As far as I can tell it lacks only two features: it doesn't time-date stamp and there is no panoramic mode. Also, the infra-red sensor on the front of the camera is apparently for the auto-focus, not for a remote/remote shutter capability, as I was told when I bought it. A remote shutter release cord is available for this camera... (Minolta part # RC1000L for the 16ft and RC1000S for the 15in.)

   I bought my HTsi Plus in a camera shop and paid... more for it, so you can't go wrong getting it here.




2. This has been a great camera for 3 years and 2000 pictures. However it recently has been giving me some trouble. It is now at Minolta getting fixed for $130.00. The first thing that happened was the built in flash would not fire anymore. Then a few weeks later the camera would not even power up. This camera has taken alot of great pictures for me I was just a little disapointed it just quit on me. The only cons I would say about the camera is no Date Imprinting,no Depth of field check. There also is no Panoramic mode and the XI 3500 flash I used when, on the camera hotshoe the red eye function would not work. It is a good camera I would just recomend an extended warranty.

4. I have a mixed review of this camera since i bought it about 8 months ago. Over all the technology for the price you get in this camera is great, with the exception of the Auto Focus (AF). When used in manual, you can get great pictures with this camera, but then you can get good pictures with any camera that works in manual, if you know what your doing. So the real issue is how good the AF works, which is how you end up taking 80% of your shots anyways. The AF on the Minolta HTsi Plus has some problems. One, it is a little slow to focus. I tried the Canon Rebel in the camera shop after I bought this camera and found the AF to be much faster. Two, this camera seems to have some serious exposure problems in AF. It never quite gets the exposure right. For example outside shots look bleached out more often then not, even when you try to light meter off the brightest spot first. Also, the contrast in color seems to always come out weak with this camera. I am not sure how much of this is the camera's fault or lens's fault as film also plays a role here, but pictures defiantly come out color poor. I have used a number of different films with this and they all come out color poor.

   Over all the technology in this Camera is good -AF so if you always use manual, this camera is good for that. But if you think you are going to do some percentage of point and shot with this camera, I would look elsewhere. If i had to do it over, I would have spent a little more and got the Canon Rebel.




5. I've shot Minolta 35MM SLRs since 1974 (SRT101). I've owned this camera for 6 years and it is a workhorse in my camera bag. (I also own an Olympus 5 Megapixel digital).
   
   The Minolta consistently delivers consistently higher quality than the olympus, and I love the flexibility of film.

5 comments about Minolta USB-500 Cable for Dimage A1, A2, Xi, X, XG, X20, X31, F300, F100, Z1 & Z2 Digital Cameras.

1. I have replaced this stupid cable three times and I've owned the camera for only one year. I am not rough on the cable and I don't even connect & disconnect the darn thing often. It shorts out...or becomes useless quickly. I move the memory card to my video camera so that I can download the pictures using a cable that works reliably! Ug



2. Hi I need know you sale the USB cable for the digital Minolta Z2 and you send to Puerto Rico( puerto Rico is US territory and use the same US Post Offices to 50 states) Thanks



3. this cord, which i purchased and then paid 2x the cost advertised for regular shipping, does not work with the cameras advertised. in this case, the F300. this merchant obviously does not double check their items.



4. Recently purchased cable does not work with my Dimage A1 camera. The camera gives an error message stating: "Cable Disconnected." I would not recommend the purchase of this item.



5. Flat didn't work. Seller said it was new. I would expect that it was the same cable that a previous customer said didn't work. Wish I would have read this seller's reviews but you know how it goes; it's only a cable, bound to work. It doesn't. Can I get my money back?

5 comments about Minolta Maxxum STsi Panorama Date 35mm SLR Camera Kit with 35-80mm Lens.

1. 8/28/02
   as an aspiring photographer, i wanted an inexpensive camera, but one that i knew was a smart buy. since i bought the STsi, i have propably gone through 50 if not more rolls of film, i started using it in february. this camera is so easy to use, it already has pre-programmed modes. also, you can very easily select different shutter speeds, aperture modes, or change from manual to automatic, and change the iso. i was so surprised when i found out all the features that it had.
   and it's even better if you buy a telephoto lens.
   [i would though, recommend buying an extra lens filter just for insurance, it's a lot cheaper than buying a whole new zoom lens.]



2. This Camera s quiet good for learner because the feature is simple. But if you wan tot used manual shoot you will have a problem. Event it's offering the manual Aperture and Speed but it's difficult to use. The feature is close to the automatic pocket camera. The differentiation is only the lens because we can use the Minolta series of lens from 80 m to more. If you want the camera with automatic adjustment for aperture, speed and focus, and want to take a best shoot with various lenses, this is appropriate for you. But when you start using manual adjustment you will have a problem.



3. At first I was wary of buying a product that wasn't completely new, and for such a reasonable price. But as soon as I got the camera, I found that it was extremely easy to use, and the only a quick reading of the instructions is necessary to be able to use all of its functions.

   Very light, and it seems durable enough (I've thunked mine twice now and still no damage!!!) the Minolta is very suitable for carrying around to family parties, vacations, and just about any other type of event. It's very easy to turn on, as opposed to other SLR's that I've seen; you just have to switch the button and take the lens cap off and it's already set to your previous modes. After using simple digital cameras along with regular 35mm ones, I find that this one is simple enough for the everyday photographer to use, yet it has all of the functions and gizmos that the serious amateur loves. The manual and auto focus is wonderful, and the flash turns out well almost every time; only slight adjustments are needed for night pictures, as with every camera. The only VERY SMALL complaint that I would have is that there is a bit of red eye, even with the reduction, amongst people who have blue eyes. But that's easily reparable on a computer or at a photo editing store. Very good camera for your buy!




4. I recently purchased the STsi as a "step-up" from my QTsi (also a great camera) and I truly enjoy learning about its various special features.

   This is a great camera for intermediate and more advanced photographers, and even recommended to professional photographers as well. Still very user-friendly, like the more basic QTsi, the STsi is the ideal camera for those who want to take that "next step" in their photographic adventures.




5. I bought this 35mm SLR camera for the price and the multitude of features it boasts: multiple exposure, bracketing, panaorama along with the standard $400 2000 model 35mm SLR cameras. I eventually went digital with a the more pricey Nikon D80 one year ago and sold this camera with my 28-80mm Sigma macro zoom lens and my 28-200mm zoom lens for $100.
   
   This camera was a bargain at the original price I paid for it, but I eventually could get more bang-for-the-buck with a digital camera.
   
   Pros--Fully automatic to fully manual. This camera boasts a great range of shutter speeds and aperatures--aperatures dependant on the lens(es), but you can program your own shutter speed (BULB) which can produce some stunning special effects and nighscapes/cityscapes.
   
   It's very easy to use if you read the user manual and you are somewhat familiar with cameras. Within a week, I learned how to use every feature.
   
   Cons--the main dial is slightly uncomfortable to turn and may leave a temporary imprint on your finger.
   
   While it boasts great metering, the honeycomb system is not all it's cracked up to be, and neither is the center weighted or sport. With center-weighted, my pictures of heavy contrast were overexposed on the white areas, and I am disappointed that I could never get a good picture of my black and white cat.
   
   This camera is full of suprises, and with 35mms, you only see the prints after you've taken them, so if technical results are of importance to you, you may want to skip this camera. I got several photos in which the colors were grossly innacurate. A gray shadow came out as orange.
   
   The pop-up flash is not very good. It is about standard for any $40-200 camera.
   
   All-in-all, if you're still opting for processing in the darkroom, this is a good buy if it's under $90.
   
   I am happy I purchased this. It launched my photography hobby, and I had people from art.com wanting to purchase many prints I took using this camera.
   
   If you want something professional, look elsewhere, but all-in-all, it is a decent camera.

5 comments about Konica Minolta NP700 Lithium-ion Battery for Dimage X50 Digital Camera.

1. The service was fast. I ordered two batteries - one worked, one didn't. Customer Service forwarded immediately a third battery which works great. Very pleased with the service and the speed with which the company dedicates itself.



2. I have a Konica camera and somehow I lost the battery. This is the original NP700 battery so it's just a replacement. Works great too.



3. Don't be put off by BargainCell's low price, just enjoy *not* paying through the nose for a battery to a camera that's actually not being made any more. (Also, shipping was quick.)



4. As I wrote inmy feedback e-mail, this battery des nt fit the charger or camera, and an e-mail to the seller remains unaswered. help.

5. This DimageX50 Battery replacement is a great product at a very good price.
   Thanks.

3 comments about Konica Minolta USB-3 USB Cable for Dimage X50, X60, Z10 & Z20 Digital Cameras.

1. This may be a just a minor detail to some however, I work with cables all of time. This is indeed a high quality cable with high quality connectors. Much more robust than the cable that Konica-Minolta includes with their cameras. If you ever need a replacement cable or simply need a spare or want to upgrade, this is the one to get.



2. The cable cord arrived quickly, was as described and fixed the problem I had been experiencing.Great company and service.



3. It's great and much better than the cable that came with the camera. This one is sturdy.

5 comments about Konica Minolta High Capacity Black Toner Cartridge (1710587-004, 2400 Series Printers).

1. Although the product description said it was a Konica-Minolta cartridge, it was not. It was a remanufactured, compatible cartridge by LD Products. I felt deceived, tricked. It is working fine, so for a remanufactured cartridge it is probably a good one, but if I would have known it was not and actual Konica-Minolta cartridge i would not have bought it.
   
   Will be more careful buying from Amazon in the future.



2. Excellent toner but a little pricey for the amount of copies it prints. It wouldn't hurt if the OEM manufacturer added about 20% more useage.



3. I ordered it directly from Amazon (not via a 3rd party) and I received an original (not previously used) cartridge manufactured by Konica Minolta in the exact same packaging as my other K.M. color cartridges.



4. I feel mislead. Toner purchased from Great Toner was a new compatible not genuine Konica Minolta.



5. Ordering was easy and the Vendor was prompt in shipping the product. Pricing was great! The Vendor was prompt in respoonding to my emails requesting updates. However, it would have been nice to know up-front that the Vendor was going to ship the product via USPS (when the order was placed, the Vendor's notes indicated carrier shipping). The toner cartridges (4 were ordered) came in two separate shipments and were far too large to fit in the mailbox! This necessitated a trip to the Post Office - Twice! A major inconvenience since the Post Office has cut back operational hours. Notwithstanding, I would order again from this Vendor.

5 comments about Minolta Maxxum QTsi 35mm SLR Camera Kit w/ 35-80mm Lens.

1. I just got finished writing a review on one of my digital cameras.
   I have gone thru several digital cameras in the past few years. I had a $400 Nikon camera which decided to break on me 1 month after the 1 yr warranty. I had a Sony Cybershot (forgot which one) which lasted at least 2 yrs. But the new ones are not even close to the quality of the old ones. A Canon Powershot A530 - which got great reviews... but has a CONSTANT battery low blinking.. That only lasted 5 months. Lastly, a DXG (Kyocera) CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP $50 dig camera. STAY AWAY!
   
   Bottom line. After owning those digital cameras while owning this Minolta. I will never go back to a digital camera again. This truly is the best camera I have ever had. You won't find a better camera that takes such great pictures. Especially the up close shots! Hands down, WORTH buying one. Even used. I got my USED one on ebay about 4-5 yrs ago. and it still works great - never a problem!



2. I have had my Maxxum QTsi for 9 years now and have been extremely pleased with its performance. I have a Sony digital point and shoot camera, and have NEVER been able to capture anywhere near the quality of photo that I can get with this camera. In fact, I only use the digital when I need something really compact. I find that framing the subject with this camera is really easy (your picture comes out exactly as viewed), and I have thoroughly enjoyed it as my first SLR. I have beautiful sunset and beach shots that are clear and colorful, even without a UV filter. The camera has never given me a day of trouble. My first 28-80mm lens that was packaged with the camera eventually jammed and would not focus after 5 years, but I purchased a Tamron 28-200mm lens 3+ years ago with no further issues. I highly recommend this camera...even a novice like myself can take from the box and start shooting great pictures.



3. This was the first "real" camera I ever bought. I have recently moved on to a Sony digital SLR, but I still love this camera. It's super basic, you can't adjust your shutter or aperture, but it does the job for you. Perfect for a person just learning how to shoot. Takes flawless pictures. I can use all my lenses on both cameras. I'm so happy that Minolta was bought out by a great camera company!



4. Our son needed a camera for photo-shop class. Teacher's recommendations were to look in pawn shops. Went to several places but each wanted $150+ for ones that were visibly beat up. Husband looked here on Amazon & gave our son a few choices. Of course he decided on the more expensive one on our list, which was the same amount we would have paid at a pawn shop anyway. But it was no biggie since his b-day was right around the corner! He was excited to go show it off in class. Teacher told him it was a good camera! Son loved it! And we enjoyed each picture he brought home!



5. I just wanted to say that I received my product and was very happy with the product and all the extras that came with it!
