You might be best to try one out for yourself. I tried the KM A2 and
rejected it for various reasons, but not "dull" images. The manual zoom
was nice, as was the resolution of the viewfinder (EVF).

Cheers,
David

I'm coming to this thread late, but would you mind posting the reasons you
rejected this camera?

Thanks,

I've written about this before but:

- the images did not deliver the quality I expected

- the images were no better than the Nikon 5700 the Minolta A2 was due to
replace

- in-camera JPEG mode had nasty artefacts, requiring that you shoot RAW.
(The software supplied RAW to JPEG convertor didn't have these artefacts).

- there were faults in the Minolta A1 which were not fixed in the A2

- the image stabilisation indicated that it didn't work at lower shutter
speeds (e.g. 1/10s)

- the viewfinder was of "tinny" construction and did not articulate fully

Cheers,
David

Nikon 5700 and image quality - I'm new to digital photography, having jumped right in and bought this 5700 last spring. I was into photography when I was a teenager way back in the 70's, but it was too expensive a hobby and I did nothing but vacation snaps with inexpensive film..

Question about CoolPix 8800 - Hope I am in the right group this time. I would like to know if you have tried the Coolpix 8800. I know it is a new camera, but would like to have some first hand opinions. If you have a Coolpix 8700, that would be close enough. Thanks
