Re: Battery bias?
packs also load easier, now prepping for a day of shooting this is a null issue. but in the field id rather swap packs with the ease of slide out and slide in and go.

said by Pentaxian  :Going from a 35mm Minolta SLR to ANY P&S is a major step backwards in image quality. I'm not certain as I never kept up with Minolta but, are there any new DSLR's that you can use your Minolta SLR lenses on? Sorry for the delay, but since it was OT I held off. Also, the differences between an old Minolta SLR & digital P&S are far from secret...
But your question about transferring the lens to a digital is a good one. We're talking about a 30+ year old Tamron, so I have my doubts - nevertheless, I'll be asking at my camera shop thanks to you. |

ANY lens made for a Pentax with work with them (though m42's require an adapter) But the camera will work with them to their limitation.... obvious auto modes not working with manual lenses, though you can still get effective aperture priority automation.
And becuase the IS is internal to the body, ANY lens you put on one will be stabilized, even the most antique M42.

Proprietary batteries are easier to use.
3rd party batteries are pretty inexpensive on ebay and sometimes they perform better than OEM. Buy a few extra and never worry about running out of juice. |

well my AA cameras both of them were apparently picky but it has been MY actual experience that proprietary batteries work just fine better so far than rechargeable batteries. |
