First, I’m not a professional photographer and can’t justify spending thousands of dollars on a camera. Over a six month period I created a spreadsheet with specifications on almost 60 different cameras. I knew that Nikon was expected to release their P1000 camera and I was waiting for that. But at almost $1000 I had a hard time justifying it. So, I decided on the Minolta MN35Z. This replaces my Canon SX20IS that was released in 2009. I just got back from a Mediterranean Cruise including visits to the Vatican Museum and St. Peter’s Basilica. I took almost 1000 pictures. It is easy to get good pictures with almost any camera when outdoors and with good light. But when indoors like the museum and Basilica it is more difficult as would be expected. The Basilica is so large that a flash will not reach far enough. But, I did get good pictures if I was very careful holding the camera steady. With lower light the camera wants to take longer exposures so any movement will make a blurry picture. I have a tripod but in a crowded room and with so many pictures it just was not practical carrying it around. That would definitely help. This is a lightweight camera and the menu system is easy to use. At $195 it is a good camera. Yes, I would like the features on the Nikon P1000 and I still may get it one day, but this was a good selection to carry around on vacation with a lot of walking. If you are looking under $500 you need to take a close look at this one. Take a couple hundred pictures before anything important experimenting with manual and automatic settings. Experiment with various exposure times and the many scene options.

For what I paid I really like this camera. I need a DSLR but cant afford one right now so I went with this bridge camera instead. Im glad I did. It was a spontaneous decision that I dont regret. I wish this camera had a remote shutter button option other than an app and I wish I could set the timer to always be set for 2 seconds instead of having to change it for every shot. Im shooting small items in a lightbox so I need a very stable camera for each shot.

This is a great camera. Takes a little messing with to get the hang of the wifi and bluetooth function but once you get the hang of it it works great. Ive always wanted a simple digital camera that can connect to my phone and this one is perfect for what I need. I am not a professional nor do I want to be. This takes beautiful clear pictures and I can share the ones I want easily. The color is really cool too ( avery bright purple) comes with all you need and an easy to charge battery. Case and strap too.

So far a terrific camera for the price. And the color is very cool too! Still learning the different features, having some difficulty with setting up the wi-fi app.

I bought this camera specifically because I was looking for one to connect with Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth. The function is there, but you have to download an app to your phone called Link123 Plus. Which is worthless. It isnt compatible with the newer Android phones, and by "newer," I mean it hasnt been updated for over a year. The website for the app is no longer there and there is not assistance. Minolta needs to come up with an app that actually allows this function to work or stop selling the camera as having this function!!!

Perfect for me. Beautiful purple! Great pictures. Got it for my grandchildrens graduation coming up in both Alabama and North Carolina. Cant wait to get some great memories thru pictures. The camera strap is also an Amazon purchase. Matched the purple camera perfectly.

My camera phone takes better pictures. Its heavy, bulky and not practical. Especially if you are so used to taking pictures with your cell phone, hard to go back to a camera. I wanted & thought it was light. I have arthritis in my hands and this camera is heavy and not quite so easy to manage.
