according to Ian, 15-20 years later Minolta will launch a DSLR.

Minolta released a DSLR in 1996. It is RD175 which can use normal AF lens. Now the secondhand price should be about S$1000.
About 2.1Mega.

yes, i nearly forget about that. Sorry.
The RD-175 is using A-mount. RD-3000 is using V-Mount.

For the past few weeks, people was waiting anxiously for Minolta to release a new DSLR in photokina. but many was disappointed. Who will buy/use RD-175 nowaday?

Yah. I am also disapointed. But one of my friends told me that there're new Minolta digital SLRs soon to be released on the market,. He read about them in the Computer Times. They're a staggering 11 & 14 megapix!!!

computer times SINGAPORE?
I never understood how they got their own department... all webmonkeys rehashing other people's articles. can sometimes even note the phrase sequence (when I have read the original article from cnet or THG).

I think the 11 n 14 are the canon and kodak respectively, the numbers being so zun...

I think the Dynax 7 is already half digital liao LOL... such a nice camera... sigh... + 11mp slurp slurp...

pity was the RDs were not really good performers, besides megapixels. They seem to give compact level kind of specs... if they were something like the DCS 520 then surely no probs...

They have a very strict budget and cater for the less tech-savvy, who will probably not be the first in the queue for tech stuff and so won't need to be very up-to-date loh! Whew! Completed that in a single sentence!

How much 2nd hand? I am thinking of upgrading from my current 505si. How much would a 2 year old 505si be worth? $400, $500 with kit lens?
