 Minolta is the BEST September 18, 2008
I recently lost the 35mm Minolta camera I had since the 80's and was saddened by it because it took such great pictures. The Maxxum, however, opened my eyes to another world. It is easy to use, you have all kinds of combinations of settings to select from, which are easy to configure, and the quality is outstanding! I like the "meaty" sound of the shutter. I do believe I will win photo contests with this camera! Love the film auto load! This camera pretty much tells you what to do and what will work and not work. It has warning lights and an automatic flash when in full auto mode. I love it!
 I highly recomend this camera January 12, 2007
I bought this camera for my father for christmas and he LOVES it. I personally have a Minolta Maxxum 5 SLR and LOVE it, that's why I bought this one. takes GREAT pics once you get used to the auto focus.

INTRO: I have had the Minolta Maxxum 50 for about a year now, and it has been completely trustworthy. All of the buttons, switches, knobs, etc. seem to be durable, and the camera as a whole seems very durable. I've used this camera for both color and black and white film, and both develop perfectly. The exposure on this camera almost always is right, only on a few pictures has it been over or under-exposed (I think a filter would have fixed those). Recently, I bought a 70-300mm, 4-5.6 lens for it and it has handled that well. Picture quality is still good with a non-Minolta brand. Altogether, the Maxxum 50 is a very good camera for the money, I bought it for 200 dollars in 2005, and is still worth the money today.
BIG UPS
-Usually good picture quality
-Very Durable
UPS
-Comfortable to hold
-Easy to work and learn
-Automatic mode works well
DOWNS
-Flash on the camera is fairly mediocre
-Pictures are sometimes dull on cloudy days (Still need a filter)
BIG DOWNS
Don't think there are any
CONCLUSION: If you are ready to spend money on film and development, this camera is great for a beginner, or semi-pro. Even a child could learn the simple features of the camera, yet it can be manually adjusted. This is a good buy for $230 dollars or less.
