OT: You know, I think the Minolta forums is getting famous for OT...
Anyway, Dimage capture which was promised to be release for free this month supppose to let you do tethered capture, unless i'm misunderstanding something.
About the card eject button. You have to remember to push the eject button all the way to eject the card so that the button stays in. i.e.
1) push once to eject button,
2) push 2nd time, all the way in, which will eject the card and lock the button down so that you can close the door after reinserting the card.
3)If button wasn't fully depressed during card ejection, just push in the button before you re-insert the card.
Actually I like this system ley, maybe i've adapted to it since the A1.
Anyway, what do you mean the AF points are useless in wide AF mode? Nv use the mode, so i've no idea...
About the dust caught between protector and screen... I think it's worse on some camera, i particularly like the screen protector, think it's well design and actully blends in with the camera, doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like on the D70 and 300D. And it's snug fitting, unlike the 2 cameras I've mentioned, friends lose their screen protector on day 1...
And for the door design, I think it's the right way... although it might start sliding down when it's loose. But it beats having to try to hold the tiny door up and plug in at the same time when it become loose. I'll rather have permanently open doors than to juggle the camera with one hand holding the door and another plugging the cable, and no hands to hold the camera.
And I think the lower dials or Dial collars are intentionally made harder to turn as they don't have a locking mechanism like the uppper dials.
Personally I don't have problems with battery life (I used to need 4-5 sets of batteries for a 3-4 hour shoot),
auto rotation,
built in flash (i prefer this system over having to press a button just to switch on the flash),
Ok, IF i wanna nick pick:
1) write speed could be faster, no I don't mean WA, but i believe rival cameras write info to card faster.
2) Selected Focus point to light up to confirm focus instead of current system, where it lights up just to show which is selected. Or maybe combine both. Lights up first to show which is selected, blink twice when focus locked.
3) more playback magnification.
4) ... let me think...
5) Makes me coffee :bsmilie:
6) Makes me a better photographer :bsmilie:

But SIM card's contact has no pin.. if we insert CF card like SIM card.. someone will break the contact for sure..
I remember some DSLR I come across don't have the level thingy.. just push in and the card will be locked. To release, just press the card and the card will eject out..

last time i mod my floppy disk drive to eject the disk quite far when i press the eject button... hehhee...
Hiee Pals...
Well...After getting aquainted to prosumer cams like the A1....
Having video stream recording mode is really handy for capturing candid moments......
Well....as now with the DSLR....that convenience is now gone (Obviously)
So hope that one day in the future.....a video stream recordable DSLR digicam would be possible..........(probably new sensor technology....)
