Customer Review: HTSi 35mm plus 28-80 and 70-210mm zoom lenses - Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
The HTSi 35mm is my first SLR camera. Compared to the point and shoot Olympus which I've used over the past seven years the results are fabulous. Tremendously easy to use this camera incorporates more manual features than a novice would normal use. The bottom line though is that the end picture quality is tremendous. Where I used to regularly get 3-5 pictures on a 24 exposure film which were of poor quality (out of focus), with the Minolta I've averaged less than one per roll. The pictoral symbols on the camera are generally straight forward for standard settings (portraits, night shots, etc). For those who use manual settings on a casual basis, the combination function button/dial is a bit difficult to recall so plan on keeping your users guide close by.Both lenses are excellent (as attested by the picture quality. The 28-80 is a solid general lens for landscapes. The 70-210 is perfect for the novice who wants portrait capabilities without the extra bulk of the 300mm lense. Users who are consumed with greater picture taking range might consider the 300mm zoom, but realize this comes with the tradeoff of needing a large camera bag to tout the SLR and the 300 zoom lens. Portrait taking with the 70-210 is excellent, this lense the SLR and the 28-80 can be easily carried in a small/mid size camera bag making it more portable if you're carrying it over any distance.
