You know that fakery can happen on all levels of the internet, right?Īnd they are being marketed as a real Minolta camera with Minolta optics. Maybe that's a real customer 'review' or maybe it's not.
Obviously they are selling these cameras. I showed you a guy who bought this camera and it failed in the first ten shots. There are also plenty of deceptive American marketing practices and deceptive European marketing practices, etc. Really ? And you don't see my point about deceptive Chinese marketing practices. The lens on this camera has a huge focal length range, and with optical image stabilization, a feature often found on high-end DSLRs, you can get more shots than ever without blurring an image. Minolta is known for quality glass, from their entry-level cameras all the way up to the professional-grade, and this offering is no different. There are also 26 built-in scene modes to get the most out of each photo, and a large 3" LCD screen for previewing your work.

The camera also features Bluetooth and WiFi connectibility, allowing you to control the camera remotely as well as transfer data without plugging in. To add onto its high-resolution sensor, the camera is equipped with 35x optical zoom, meaning you can get up close and personal with your subject without losing resolution, and built-in image stabilization keeps scenes steady when you're shooting hand-held.

deceptive in its content.įeaturing a 20mp photo sensor and 1080p video capture, the MN35Z from Minolta is a capable and snappy point-and-shoot camera. And committed to Sony after I bought my KM 7D, which is still a fine camera.Ī cute and paste. Took my Hi Matic range finder to Vietnam. I've been shooting with Minolta Cameras since 1955. My point here was for those with no Minolta tenure but know the name. and they are being marketed as a real Minolta camera with Minolta optics.
Sony stopped mentioning that name in promotional literature after a couple of years following the acquisition, and will presumably be happy to let it disappear from Sony history. Sony later bought certain key photography-related intellectual property from KM, and apparently the Minolta name was eventually offered for sale to whoever wanted it. Then the company became Konica Minolta, further muddying all the waters. I don't think Alpha was ever trademarked by Minolta in the first place. I feel like Sony should have kept it unless they sold it or did they just buy the alpha name? Similar things happened to Vivitar, RCA, Schwinn, Bell & Howell (which is now also one of the Elite Brands), and many other formerly respected brand names. and bares not actual DNA with Minolta at all. Anyone experienced (old?) enough to have been impressed at some time in the past by the Minolta name, such as myself, will not be going gaga over these obviously simple consumer cameras. Sad thing is that people will jump on this because of the name. It's a legitimate practice although you might not like it. And yes, the manufacturing is in Asian countries. And because they now own the name, they also manage the production and marketing of products that carry the name. unless they have a manufacturing facility on the 61st floor of wall street.
