from KEH Summary: I own the Alpha 507si, the Japanese version of the 600si. This camera is the the most user friendly AF camera I have ever tried including other Minoltas. It is also very reliable. I dunked it in the river while fly-fishing 2 months ago. After letting it dry out, everything works as it did before. I use this camera for landscapes as well as weddings. For weddings I use with a 3500xi strobe. Pictures turn out just as I had planned everytime. Strengths: * Ease of use, reminds me of my older-all manual- Minoltas.
* Customized AE lock to a toggle switch, allows you to lock exposure and then recompose without holding the AE lock botton.
* Depth-of-field preview, although it sounds like you are taking a picture when depressed.
* Very well balanced with VC600 grip. Weaknesses: * Lightly constructed for my taste, I prefer tanks.
* Noisy DOF preview.
* Slow AF with older Minolta lenses. Similar Products Used: Minolta XG7, XD7, STSI, Nikkormat EL, Olympus RF. Customer Service: Never needed.
