Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 90 35mm Camera

Product Description

Freedom Action Zoom 90's remarkably compact design and light weight make it one of the smallest and lightest zoom cameras in its class - a perfect companion for vacations, day trips, family outings, picnics, parties, or just about anywhere the action is. The camera slips easily into a coat pocket, purse or fanny pack, and features a 2.4x zoom lens which captures everything from scenery to smiles.Freedom Action Zoom 90 provides point and shoot ease, exciting features, and high-quality results. The 38-90mm power zoom lens is ideal for a wide range of photographic subjects including landscapes, groups, snapshots, candids, and portraits. A convenient zoom lever makes it easy to adjust zoom position while composing the image in the viewfinder. Even a beginner can easily use the Freedom Action Zoom 90. All functions are automatic, allowing the user complete freedom to concentrate on the subject or scene. The precise 200-step infrared autofocus system keeps the main subject sharp under a wide variety of shooting conditions. Focus Hold function locks the focus so that the main subject can be creatively positioned anywhere in the frame. Freedom Action Zoom 90's versatile flash modes let you shoot in a variety of lighting situations with ease and confidence. To reduce the red-eye effect caused by the flash reflecting off the inside of the subject's eyes, the red-eye reduction lamp glows to close down the subject's pupils before the flash is fired. The convenient self-timer delays shutter release for approximately 10 seconds after the shutter-release button has been pressed, allowing you to set up the shot and appear in the photo.

Amazon.com Review

The Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 90 delivers high-quality zoom performance in a compact, affordable package. Its high-powered zoom, and range of flash options, make it a good choice for travelers and photographers who need moderately advanced features. While the Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 90 isn't super-compact, it is relatively small and lightweight. The Minolta has a fairly powerful 38 to 90mm zoom lens, good for wide-angle landscape shots, portraits, and close-ups.

The Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 90 takes ISO 100, 200, and 400 film; and automatically reads the speed of DX-coded film. Non DX-coded film automatically sets to ISO 100. The Zoom 90 allows you to lock focus to compensate for situations where autofocus isn't the best choice (e.g. when your subject is off center). There are five flash modes--auto, fill-flash, off, night portrait, and landscape modes. Night portrait mode synchronizes a slow shutter speed with the flash, allowing well-lit portraits against a nightscape. Landscape mode turns the flash off and sets the focus at infinity, letting you take sharp pictures of distant mountains and landmarks. The Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 90 has both automatic and manual film rewind options.

Overall, we found the Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 90 to be a good general-purpose point-and-shoot camera, with some extra features such as the landscape and night portrait modes. The zoom is relatively high-powered for a camera in its class. The only drawback we experienced was that it zooms out in four steps, versus of a continuous, fluid motion. The 90's small size and automatic lens cover make it a good traveling companion.

Pros:

Relatively powerful zoom lens
Wide range of flash options
Compact size
Automatic rewind

Cons:

Stepped zoom (not continuos)

Cheaply Made!.......2001-04-13

Within a short time after purchase, the (plastic) back latch on the Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 90-Date camera broke. Now the camera is worthless. The warranty covers only manufacturing defects (not poor design). I found the camera cheaply made and the quality of the pictures just average. My advice would be to spend a little more and get a better made camera that hasn't been so poorly designed.

Minolta.......2000-10-12

I received this camera as a gift last November (1999). After 3 weeks of use, it started to rewind after only taking 2 or 3 pictures. I returned it to the store where it was purchased and exchanged it for the same model assuming it was an individual camera problem. I was wrong. The red eye reduction feature has never worked. When using the zoom feature, pictures are extremely fuzzy. The only way to get good pictures is to not use the zoom and take picture outdoors. Now the camera has completely quit working. Everything that can blink at me does. I tried replacing the battery and that was not successful. I do not recommend this particular camera to anyone.

Mintolta.......1999-12-31

I have mixed feelings about this camera. I have been using it for the past year and have found that while my outdoor picutres come out nicely, indoor shots leave something to be desired. I have tried shots with 200 to 800 speed film and 400 seems to give me the best pictures. I've also noticed that the pictures used with the zoom lense often come out fuzzy, so many of my early pictures weren't too clear. Also, when the camera uses the flash, it takes a while before its ready again. I expected more from the camera, but am happy with its basic outdoor shots.

Wonderful.......1999-12-23

We purchased this camera to replace a Fuji that I had had for years. The camera seemed comfortable, easy to use, had a longer-range zoom than most in the price range and had the features we wanted. We are very happy with the camera overall, however, my only complaint is that it is a little noisy for the zoom and the camera casing feels a little "cheap", not as sturdy as the fuji. Overall, the pictures are wonderful and we are very happy with our decision - much happier than we were with the Fuji.

Minolta's Freedom Action Zoom 90 date camera is a perfect companion for vacations, day trips, family outings, or anywhere the action is. It is compact and lightweight, so it's easy to carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack. The versatile 2.4x zoom lens allows for a wide range of photographic subjects, including landscapes, groups, snapshots, candids, and portraits. A zoom lever makes it easy to adjust the zoom position while composing in the viewfinder.

A 200-step infrared autofocus system keeps the main subject sharp under a wide variety of shooting conditions. To compose a clear, focused shot, just frame your picture, press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus, and take the picture. The focus-hold option allows you to stay focused on a subject while recomposing your picture.

The Freedom Action Zoom 90 shoots in a variety of lighting situations with several flash modes. In auto mode, you can concentrate on your subject while the camera fires the flash when needed. If the main subject is backlit, fill flash may be selected to enhance lighting. A flash-cancel button is provided for museum shots when a flash is not permitted.

Night portrait mode synchronizes the flash with a slow shutter so you'll have enough light to capture shots in the evening with ambient light. You can also set the autofocus system to infinity to ensure sharp photos of distant subjects in a landscape. The built-in quartz data back imprints the date or time on each photo and can be switched off when desired.

Amazon.com Reviews

The KX-TG2422W 2.4 GHz GigaRange cordless phone uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology to give you outstanding range and signal consistency. With subscription to local service, it supports caller ID/call waiting, so you know who's calling to chat, with just a glance at the handset. The 50-station memory stores the most recent callers' names and numbers, along with the date and time of their call.

Access the separate phone book for an additional 50 names and numbers of the people you call most frequently. Each handset can store a separate phonebook--making it a great system for a home office or resident teen--or you can share one book among handsets. The charging cradle that accompanies the second handset stores the phone vertically, and the resulting small footprint makes it perfect for a bedside table. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

What's in the Box
Two handsets, one base unit, one charging cradle, two AC adapters, one line cord, wall mount adapter, two rechargeable battery packs, two handset covers, owner's manual, warranty card

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk SDXD-128-A10 128MB xD Picture Card, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.
