Guide Review - Minolta Dimage RD 3000 Digital Camera

This camera was designed as a professional digital camera, though I don’t think it stacks up against some of the high end professional digital cameras on the market today. It is, however, higher quality than most, especially in the 2 to 3 megapixel range.

The interchangeable lenses and flash make it a good camera for the serious amateur, but probably not the average family photographer.

The magnesium alloy body is designed to take years of abuse while still protecting the delicate electronics inside.

The Vectis line of lenses for Minolta are professional lenses designed for digital use. Vectis lenses are some of the best digital dedicated lenses I have seen.
