Konica Minolta Dynax 7D (as far as I recall it is called Maxxum in the States instead of Dynax) with a 50 mm Minolta Macro lens :001_smile

Wow! If memory serves, that was the first digital made by ANYONE with VR/IS/ whatever Konica Minolta called Vibration Reduction / Image Stabilization / Anti Shake. Minolta made some great stuff (I'm a life long Nikon guy), I was sad to see them get gobbled up by Sony.

Yes the Image Stabilisation is great and in contrast to other brands it is quite unique as it is built in to the camera house, so it works with old lenses too :thumbup:

I'm not too pleased with the Sony take over either, most of the new Alpha series are pretty small cameras and can be difficult to handle properly. If you want a decent sized one it has to be from their top-of-the-line but the pricing is a bit out of my reach there, and since I have quite a selection of lenses I'm not prepared to change brand, that would be even more costly than picking a top-end Alpha :001_smile
