Adorama Camera Bag

Here is the link: http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20321 598.html

I do have lenses for it, as my aunt was a professional photographer back in the day. She did use Minolta 35mm cameras, so i've done my homework on the compatibility and all that. However, if I do happen to be wrong, you can all laugh at me =]

I'm planning on buying a Sony Alpha Digital SLR in a few months to entertain me during college, and I plan on using my Minolta lenses in addition to the included Sony lenses. I say this so that we understand that I'm going to use the lenses no matter what. I just saw this film camera on Adorama and thought it might be kinda fun to learn to use one of these. Plus, its always nice to have a good film camera around. There are things you can do with film that i've never seen done with digital. Plus, no pixelation! :D

anyway, any thoughts on this camera? Any recommendations on any accessories, extra lenses, bags, etc? thanks in advance.

Film SLRs and their set could cost you under $500, even.

And it could be a good one with good lenses.

See, film cameras are a lot cheaper. But overall, the price of film and such adds up, and DSLRs are cheaper in the long run, as long as you don't update so often.

I have a bag of old Minolta 35mm lenses that my aunt gave me, and am still looking for a good camera to attach them to. I would rather have a camera that comes without lenses, as this bag has all the lenses i'd normally need. I believe them to all be autofocus, as they're relatively new as far as 35mm lenses go... I know that they'll fit the Minolta DSLR cameras, as well as most if not all of the Sony Alpha series of cameras, so I don't need to know that its one of those I'm going to need to buy. What I want to know specifically is: Is it worth the extra money to get a Sony Alpha? Or would I be ok with one of the last Minolta DSLR cameras? Also, does anyone have any recommendations of a place to buy one of those without a lens? Besides tigerdirect, adorama, or ebay? Unless anyone has one personally that they're willing to part with? Thanks in advance :-)

If you can find the Minolta 7D at a decent price, the answer is yes. Not so much on the 5D.

You can probably find the Sony A100 out there cheap, like $200. I saw an A200 on the local craig's list for $300 with (18-70) kit lens and bag.

If your lenses are indeed MA mount, they will work on the Alpha line.

So over a week ago I ordered a D40 Kit [from this Fathers Day/Graduates Special] which consists of the body, 18-55mm lens, 55-200mm lens, bag, two nikon dvds and a digital frame which was $550. The 55-200mm is backordered and I have to wait until they get the lens from the manufacturer so they can ship my package. The thing is that I need the camera soon, so I was looking online and I found a kit from Adorama with the body, 18-55mm, and 55-200mm VR lens for $600. Should I wait until the Ritz D40 kit arrives or should I cancel the order and go with Adorama?

Cancel your order with Ritz.

Per http://www.resellerratings.com here is a comparison of Ritz, Adorama and B&H based on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being perfect:

Ritz: 6 month rating 1.05; lifetime rating 3.42

I am currently in the market for a bag for my D90 + 18-200mm VRII lens. i dont have much other equipment but will eventually, i need to be able to cary that plus a few lens or flashes. this section has to be pretty durable (cushioned) also very resistant or waterproof as i will be snowboarding with it, not really riding hard eneough to buy the Burton Zoom i dont think. also i need this bag to be able to cary my 13'' macbook... and preferably eventually 15'' pro.
i would like it to have a way to cary a tripod (although not essential) and i LOVE the idea of a side quick open section to grab my camera.
my price range is really no higher then 115$ and thats REALLY pushing it for me.
but why spend all this money if i cant protect it.
also my camerea will have the body armor and lens armor.

the options ive been looking at. really interested in the lower pro

I would suggest you go for the Glide Backpack from Briggs & Riley. It’s got a special section with a padded computer sleeve to hold a 15” laptop. The special tech section can fit your camera lens and other computer gadgets. Multiple pockets everywhere for extra organization! There’s also a front organizer to carry stuff that you need to easily access. It might be slightly above your budget but if offers superb value, laptop protection and other innovative functional designs that other backpacks may not offer. Briggs & Riley also offer a lifetime warranty on their luggage. There’s a holiday sale going on at present, so you might want to check it out for some great discounts!
