Minolta cameras can be purchased from numerous locations. Some of those include Amazon, Konica Minolta, and eBay. Details and prices for the numerous models available can be found on their respective websites. Minolta cameras are only available second-hand now generally as Minolta ceased operation in 2006.
There are many great places to find Minolta digital cameras. The most popular places to find them are online website services like Amazon that offer International Shipping.
That is the correct spelling, "Minolta," for the Japanese maker of cameras and photocopiers.
A Minolta lens can be purchased from Black's, Henry's, Vistek, Best Buy, Merkle Camera, Future Shop, The Source, Simon's Cameras, McBain Camera and Downtown Camera.
No, Minolta MC and MD lenses (SR-mount) will only fit on the older non-AF cameras, Minolta AF mount lenses will only fit on the Maxxum/Dynax AF cameras and some Sony SLRs (Konica-Minolta sold its camera business to Sony in 2006 and Sony has developed cameras that use the AF-mount). If you put a Minolta lens on a camera that does not have the corresponding mount you could end up with a very expensive repair bill - or an interesting paperweight ;)
Minolta was acquired by Sony years ago. Look at Sony cameras instead. They're making steady progress.
Minolta, the Japanese camera company, merged with Konica in 2003, to become Konica Minolta. In 2006, Konica Minolta decided to stop producing cameras (both film and digital). Since the cameras have been out of production for over 7 years, the cheapest way to buy one would be 'used'. Amazon still sells some of the old models, but there isn't a wide availability.
Yes. The Minolta Maxxum 7000 uses the Minolta AF mount; lenses for the camera should fit any Minolta auto-focus SLR ever made, as well as Sony's α digital SLRs (A100, A700, A200, and friends). These comments only apply to genuine Minolta lenses; non-Minolta lenses for this camera (such as some Sigma lenses) may have issues working on later cameras, such as the DSLRs mentioned above.
No, it will not match. You need an adapter with correction lens to use those lenses for SRT on your Maxxum AF cameras
A Minolta laser printer can be purchased at a variety of retail locations. Stores such as Amazon, B & H Photo, Adorama, and Zap Copiers all carry Minolta brand laser printers.
They should work on Minolta digital cameras, and possibly the new Sonys as well. Check carefully into the camera specs.
Those memory card slots on Minolta cameras for READING (not for writing) cards that comes preloaded with Minolta's different exposure modes that we set by turning a dial in modern cameras (with a built-in memory). So, the answer to your question is you can insert a memory card into that slot but you won't be able to save the pictures on it like a digital camera.
No, they do not. The Minolta XD-7, up to the X-700 takes the Minolta MD-type lenses. There are no digital slr cameras that will take an MD-mount lens. Only a camera hacker would be able to make an adapter out of spare parts in order to fit a specific dslr, and even then, the labor costs alone would be tremendous.
Konica Minolta toner cartridges can be purchased online at places such as Amazon or 247inktoner. One can also find Konica Minolta ink tone cartridges at online retailers such as Staples, Office Max or Office Depot.
