經過幾日o黎的使用，本人發覺呢部機都有唔少缺點，想同大家分享一下：

在操作方面：

(1) 相機開關按鈕很容易誤觸，應該設計成按下二如兩秒 (或者可以自行設定) 以上才開機，又或者如F828的那一種開關…

(2) 使用一段時間後，手把位置明顯感到發熱，如果o係冬天用就無所謂，但到了熱天的時候就大問題了，尤其如果你是多手汗的人…建議唔好用Micodrive… 熱呀，大家明啦！

(3) 雖然是手動變焦是相機，變焦環的操作質感明顯唔係唔係咁好，尤其你用開SLR機或者F828的變焦環後，你就會發覺有明顯差距，手感麻麻。而且突出的內置閃光燈位置，會阻礙你直握相機的時候操作變焦環。

(4) 手把感應器係一好的設計，但為何外加直手把沒有呢？百思不得其解？

(5) 外加直手把只係得個快門按鈕，為何沒有轉盤呢？要操作相機大部份的設定又要握回橫手把了…

(6) 如果LCD設計成好以G5/Pro1的那一種可轉動形式會好好多，A2的情況就如F828一樣，橫攝就無問題，但直攝就…

(7) ISO 400及ISO 800的Noise依然係問題o既所在！

(8) 當你掛部A2在身上時，因為EVF是突出的，會頂住你個身，要扭動EVF向上90度才可…安然及舒服地掛係胸前…

(9) 閃光燈就一定要用回Minolta出的啦，不過以用其他大廠出的… (如Nikon及Canon)

(10) 內置閃光燈要用動揭開，不會自動彈起。

(11) 鏡頭設計關係，外加Filter有相當多限製…如要加Adapter、或者要用Ultra Silm Filter。

以前 D7/7i/7Hi 係個Main dial 上面都有個保險掣 咁左再轉個dial先可以開機... 不過唔知點解係A1開始就冇左....


>>(2) 使用一段時間後，手把位置明顯感到發熱，如果o係冬天用就無所謂，但到了熱天的時候就大問題了，尤其如果你是多手汗的人…建議唔好用Micodrive… 熱呀，大家明啦！

哦... 哩個問題都好似幾耐歷史下... 好似D7開始已經有... 我又係一個比較多手汗既人 嗯嗯... 都幾麻煩 唯有得閒熄下機... 而且我部7Hi仲有機會用用下prompt Err 然後熄機 不過好彩都唔係經常發生... 唔知會唔會同佢熱過龍有關呢....


>>(3) 雖然是手動變焦的相機，變焦環的操作質感明顯唔係唔係咁好，尤其你用開SLR機或者F828的變焦環後，你就會發覺有明顯差距，手感麻麻。

嗯嗯... Minolta 既 Zoom ring 的確有d緊... 轉起黎力度要將就將就... 但係因為之前除左佢之外冇DC有做 mechanical linked 既 zoom ring... 所以已經比其他既好... 然而我都未試過 F828個zoom ring手感如何 聽你咁講 有機會要試一試先得...


>>(7) 當你掛部A2在身上時，因為EVF是突出的，會頂住你個身，要扭動EVF向上90度才可…安然及舒服地掛係胸前…

EVF(or ViewFinder) 突出有另一方面既好處 就係用EVF既時候 部機唔會頂住個鼻... 或許應該做個似F717 同有d DV既design... 用EVF既時候可以拉長 唔用既時候就可以收返...
不過講返轉頭 F505/F717/F717/F828 個body design都有度好... 至少唔用掛係頸既時候 支鏡會向下 機背向上... 咁支鏡唔會Ban到人 個ViewFinder又唔會頂住個肚...


>>(9) 內置閃光燈要手動揭開，不會自動彈起。
我諗manual pop-up對進階少少既用家黎講 應該問題唔大... 反而如果冇得disable auto pop-up既話 可能會係一個問題 要經常入menu disable個Flash...
Anyway, 如果可以揀 manual/auto pop-up 當然係最好... 可以照顧到大部份用家...

今日嘗試用A2影貓仔，點知發覺A2微距，真係好唔得！

太近又失焦，Zoom In加微距鎖，又得翻隻貓眼！Zoom Out加微距鎖，又對唔倒，自己向後就！

就得來，支鏡Lock住咗，構圖都又唔得！隻貓都行開咗！

各位大師究竟有冇計？手動對焦可以試，不過唔夠快同準！Close-up又有黑角！

根據A2在dpreview規格，Normal focus range = 50 cm， Macro focus range = 13 cm。

係咪影什麽，都應保持半米(都好長喎)！

A2好多功能，不過微距鎖真係唔慣。

[zeusho]

To Elliott朋友：

多謝你的意見，我都好認同你講o既o野，有機會試?F828個Zoom Ring啦，你就會知道乜叫正啦！

To leehenry1668朋友：

其實微距鎖係一個比較奇怪o既o野，如果設計成一個電子按鈕來開關會好一些，但我相信那是鏡頭機械設計上的問題，非作這樣的設計不可。

[waterng]

是的~F828的zoom ring手感很流暢的~但太重...←but也會手持穩定←不需持太耐時~^^

[zeusho]

To waterng朋友：

係呀，不過未試過F828，去Show Room (Pro-Shop)試?，個Feel真係好正呀！

zeusho 兄:

聽你發表完 "A2" 之缺點後, 大部份都係 Minolta 機嘅特點黎喎!

接唔接受倒就見人見智啦!

(我無機會用其他Brand嘅機! . . . 唉!)

[oxe]

係啦~手動變焦既手感真係好唔得啦~
中段要用輕力d,前後段就要用大力d,唔流暢,
我覺得呢樣野係呢部機既最大缺點.

[winson531]

係lor,
lock 左macro...唔係28就200....得少少位走..

[Elliott]

>>唔係28就200

嗯... 應該係... 28 / 175-200....

[zeusho]

To anson_426朋友，

你話我過o既大部份都係 Minolta 機嘅特點黎，可能係啦，不過對好多人o黎講係一定係缺點o黎啦！

以下便是Luminous Landscape的Minolta A2 Review內，本人看到指出的缺點，經本人整理後，如下：

(1) Build and Material Quality: is is an area where the A2 disappoints. The camera it feels a bit "plasticy" in comparison to the Sony F828, the Olympus C-8080 and some of the other contenders in this category. The A2 is hefty enough, and feels all-of-a-piece, but is just not quite in the top ranks when it comes to the materials used on the body. The fit and finish are fine though, and the grip is nicely textured.

(2) The memory card door doesn't have a latch. It's spring loaded though, so there's little danger of it opening accidentally.

(3) The slightly poorer choice of build materials and slightly lower quality of fit and finish are likely more of an esthetic concern than of practical importance, but is an area where I would like to see Minolta upgrade this camera in a future edition.

(4) I'm not that pleased with the feel of the zoom ring. It isn't as smooth as it might be. Again, quality of materials and finish seems to be a bit lower than that of the Sony F828. There is also a real manual focusing ring, that may be fly-by-wire.

(5) A bit disappointed to see though that the rear LCD only swivels on one axis, It doesn't rotate sideways, which would be nice for when shooting in portrait orientation. Canon's design is much better in this regard.

(6) There is the usual built-in pop-up flash — but it doesn't pop up. It's a minor thing, but one has to manually raise the flash when required. Most cameras in this price range do so automatically, or at least have a release button. This seems a bit out of character with the A2's otherwise exemplary design.

(7) Flash coverage is good, but be aware that as with most such digicams the lens shade needs to be removed to avoid darkening of the bottom of the frame at wide-angle settings. The flash is just not far enough above the axis of the lens to clear the petal-shaped lens shade at wide focal lengths.

(8) Not so nice is the fact that Minolta's hot shoe is non-standard. In other words you not only can't attach a non-Minolta flash, but you also can't use other accessories (such as bubble levels) that mount on a camera's hot shoe. The Minolta hot-shoe design is indeed superior to a standard one, but it's a real pain not to be able to use accessories, or a less expensive flash unit.

(9) There is one button on the rear panel that I feel could be somewhat better positioned. An exposure compensation button is located just below the main power button, and even after two weeks of shooting I often found myself pressing the power button and turning the camera off when all I wanted to do was dial in some exposure compensation.

(10) The A2's manual runs about 175 pages. It is very clearly laid out and most explanations are easy to follow. The index isn't as comprehensive as one could wish, and some advanced concepts could be explained in greater depth.

(11) ISO 400 and 800 are both pretty bad, and useful for documentation but not most esthetic purposes.

(12) Many newcomers to digital photography are frustrated by the fact that cameras like the A2 produce images that are not as sharp straight out of the camera as they expect them to be. Of course this has nothing to do with any lack of resolution, but rather with the fact that these particular files need an appropriate amount of USM to look their best, and the amount they need tends to be at least 50% higher than one might be used to from other cameras. When properly sharpened and noise reduced these files are excellent, but it does take some work to get them to that state. As a consequence, beginners and those not familiar and comfortable with image post-processing may become frustrated with their initial results, and so cameras like the A2 may not be the best choice for someone unwilling to make the effort.

(13) Don't think though that the A2, or any of the 8MP cameras that I've tested or seen so far, will satisfy a photographer who is really quality conscious and who wants to be able to make prints bigger than about 10X12".

咁......邊部DC(DSLR除外)最好?

[kyohsey]

一笑至知

[Elliott]

冇話最好呢.... 都係睇功能啦...
