Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX DG IF HSM Aspherical Super Wide Angle Zoom Lens + Hoya 77mm UV Haze Protector Glass Filter + 6-Piece Cleaning Kit + Spudz Microfiber Cleaning Cloth - for Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D & 5D and Sony Alpha 100, A100, A100H & A100K Digital SLR Cameras
Manufacturer: SIGMA ProductGroup: Photography Binding: Electronics Product Features:

Product Description
Kit includes: 1) Sigma 17-35mm EX DG IF HSM Aspherical Zoom Lens; 2) 6-Piece Cleaning Kit; 3) Sigma Spudz Microfiber Cleaning Cloth; 4) Hoya 77mm UV Protector Filter. ♦ Sigma 17-35mm Lens includes: Front & Rear Lens Caps; Lens Hood; Instructions; Sigma USA Warranty. ♦ The Sigma 17-35mm has an internal focusing system which eliminates front lens rotation. This makes it easy to use with circular polarizing filters plus it enables using a more effective petal-shaped lens hood to reduce flare as much as possible for more vivid images. It incorporates aspherical lens elements to minimize distortion and spherical aberration. With an impressive minimum focus distance of only 10.6 inches at all focal lengths, you are able to place subjects in the foreground to give a sense of depth to your scenic shots for truly creative and well-composed photographs. ♦ Digital SLRs such as the Nikon D40, D80 and D200 have a 1.5x Lens Factor and the Canon Digital Rebel XTi and EOS 30D have a 1.6x Lens Factor which makes getting true wide angle photos with a 28-80mm lens problematic. On 35mm Film Cameras and Full Frame sensor Digital SLRs, you get the listed focal length range without any sensor cropping. When used on cameras with a 1.5x lens factor you get a wonderfully wide 25.5mm to 52.5mm effective focal length zoom lens that's just what you need for scenic landscapes; family reunions; as well as terrific vacation and travel photos. ♦ Hoya UV Filters are made of optical glass and can be left on your lenses at all times — even when taking pictures. A filter prevents damage to the delicate surface coatings of the lens and shields the front element from scratches. A UV filter enhances image quality by reducing the adverse effects of ultraviolet light which can cause outdoor photographs to appear hazy and indistinct. ♦ This Sigma Lens-plus-necessities Kit will help give you the amazing vacation, travel, and family photos you've always wanted.

Minolta Maxxum 7 35mm SLR Camera (Body Only)
Manufacturer: Konica Minolta ProductGroup: Photography Binding: Electronics Accessories:
Product Features:
ASIN: B0000539VS |
Product Description
You have a vision. You know what you want to achieve. And the Maxxum 7 makes it possible, faster and easier than ever before. An advanced focusing system with an ultra-fast AF speed puts this SLR at the top of its class. The new integrated operation system features familiar dial controls, extensive customization capabilities, and a revolutionary dot matrix navigation display that gives you the camera's status at a glance. The Maxxum 7's improved capability is everything you've been looking for in an SLR. At last, the vision is clear.Minolta's unique nine-point AF system with center dual cross-hair sensors covers a wide focus area providing more flexibility and greater focusing precision. The new AF module incorporates eight line sensors and Minolta's unique center dual cross-hair sensors. Due to refinements in the algorithm and CCD control, the Maxxum 7's central processing unit has a data processing speed of about five times faster than earlier AF SLR models. In addition, the camera's powerful lens driving motor promises quick accelerations and decelerations of lens movement. As a result, the Maxxum 7 provides the world's fastest AF speed in spite of the greater volume of data received from the wide focus area. With the multi-dimensional predictive focus control, the Maxxum 7 is able to track abrupt changes in speed or direction - even a U-turn - perfectly.Amazon.com Product Description
One of Minolta's claims to fame is that they introduced to the world, back in 1985, the very first autofocusing (AF) 35mm SLR ever produced: the Maxxum 7000. The Maxxum 7 is the fifth-generation version of that original Minolta AF SLR, combining recent advances in lens design, light metering, exposure systems, and focusing automation with an ease of operation that offers photographers tremendous precision and versatility in the field.The Maxxum 7 is the first SLR body to adopt a dot matrix navigation display, giving you the camera's overall status at a glance. The large 1.5-by-1-inch LCD panel is positioned on the camera's back cover and provides a variety of information to meet users' specific preferences or skills. This information includes camera settings, custom functions, exposure history, meter index, brightness distribution, depth of field, and data memory (selectable in five different languages). And for easy readability, the LCD display automatically shifts from horizontal to vertical orientation depending on the camera's position. This feature saves photographers the trouble of changing their holding position each time they check the data panel--which is typically placed on the top of the camera.
The central processing unit in the Maxxum 7 has a data processing speed five times faster than earlier AF SLR models. This camera provides the world's fastest autofocus speed, in spite of the greater volume of data received from the wide focus area, due to its powerful lens driving motor that promises quick accelerations and decelerations of lens movement. The Maxxum 7 is able to track abrupt changes in speed or direction perfectly. In fact, the second you bring this camera to your eye, the lens snaps into focus and is ready for use, even if you, or the object you are shooting, happens to be in motion. For example, with a 300mm lens attached, the Maxxum 7 can accurately follow an object moving as fast as 31 miles per hour to within 26 feet.
The new AF module incorporates eight line sensors, as well as Minolta's unique center dual cross-hair sensors. Its nine-point sensors cover the central area of the viewfinder frame and divide it horizontally and vertically into thirds. By efficiently covering a wide focus area, the nine-point sensors assure great flexibility when composing pictures and allow the photographer to precisely capture moving subjects. The Advanced Distance Integration (ADI) flash metering system provides greater accuracy when used with Minolta's new AF lenses, which incorporate distance encoders. The guide number control and the four-segment preflash metering work together to virtually eliminate the influence of background or subject reflectance in your photographs.
The Maxxum 7 also features 35 customizable functions that allow photographers to take instant control of virtually all camera functions. Its ergonomically redesigned AF/MF control button permits the switch between autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF) modes via a button located on the back of the camera. This button is easily operated without losing sight of the subject in the camera's viewfinder.
Relatively small (5.6 by 3.8 by 2.6 inches) and lightweight (20.3 ounces), this camera's compact body, with the ultracompact AF 24-105mm f3.5 to f4.5 standard lens, assures greater handling and carrying comfort. With power performance features such as a top shutter speed of 1/8,000 second and a maximum drive speed of four frames per second--and all of this in a body smaller than any other 35mm AF SLR with comparable features--the Maxxum 7 sets a new standard for performance and compactness.

One of the best cameras PERIOD.......2004-04-16
Intuitive Controls so you can use all the Technology.......2004-02-16
What really sells this camera, though, is the wireless flash. Do not underestimate how much this can improve your flash pictures. It is very easy to use -- I literally have shown my 3 year old, who was very curious, how to do, and got some good shots of him in the process. If you buy this camera, you should buy at least one of the Minolta "D" flashes.
As you take bracketed shots in continuous focus mode, the camera does a good job of remaining in focus. For those of us with glasses, there is a diopter adjustment in the viewfinder that adjusts the viewfinder to our own current prescription. On manual focus, this has a real impact on my photos, where my focus was previously a bit soft much of the time.
I end up with a couple of minor complaints -- the selector button that lets you choose which sensor to use in focusing is placed right where my nose can hit it, and I've had to learn to take care not to accidentally change the setting with my nose. Also, I'd like to see the new anti-shake technology that is being incorporated in Minolta's new digital 7 incorporated into the 7. I suspect it is just time until this happens.
All in all, an extraordinary camera.

Product Description
If you want to carry a gadget bag that screams out the brand of the camera you shoot with and announces to the world that you have hundreds or even thousands of dollars hanging from your shoulder -- then look elsewhere. Among all its stellar qualities, top of the list would have to be "discreet." Its understated classic black exterior shuns the spotlight and blends into the backround, never calling attention to itself or its contents. Its unassuming appearance may not sing its praises, but it is exactly its lack of ostentatious flash that is one of its best virtues. The Cameta Incognito 1000 is as functional a gadget bag as a Pro could want and as convenient to carry on vacation or to a child's school recital as the most casual snapshooter could ever ask for in a camera bag. Made of durable Cordura Nylon, and outfitted with a reinforced handle, this compartment case will easily hold your camera, lenses, flash, and accessories. Travel, nature, wildlife, and landscape photography are all made easier and safer with the slip-resistant shoulder strap. The many zippered pockets hold all your supplies. A small pocket on the outside of the top flap allows easy access to film, memory cards or batteries. Large sewn pockets inside the front flap safely protects filters, pens, cleaning supplies, and lens caps. A mesh pocket inside the top flap provides for easy access to additional storage. The best feature however is its large (12 x 8 x 8 in.) padded storage and compartment space. Removable velcro® dividers provide individual customization to your equipment. Whether you use this case for your Konica Minolta Digital or Minolta 35mm Film SLR, the Cameta Incognito 1000 Digital & Film SLR Deluxe Gadget Bag will hold all of your most essential accessories.

Quiet time T.V........2003-01-22
In the late evening the STEREO part of the T.v. allows you to have the sound on very low and still hear the audio very clearly.
It also allows for the hard of hearing to hear the full range of sounds anywhere in the room.
It is a great T.v. for a childs room.
Crisp clear audio and video.
Forget HDTV this is where you should start!
Thanks MEMOREX.
