Here's a few shots from the first roll through my newly aquired Minolta HTsi. Seems to be quite a capable camera. Daybreak  I have no idea what these are!   Stiff Breeze  Roy |

Roy, I have no idea what these are! I'll take a guess at Irises. Mickey |

Those be irises Roy. I good sign for you that Spring is well underway, and for me that winter is around the corner. I am a sucker for pretty flowers, and always blaze away at irises when spring appears.
Capable indeed. I like the study of the flag.
It is probably the influence of Hollywood's cultural imperialism, but even as a New Zealander, I find the ' Stars and Bars' fluttering in the breeze an affecting sight. I flew into LAX on 9-10-2001, and the ensuing month was a strange time to be a foreigner -albeit a friendly one- in a nation under siege. A powerful memory of that time (crikey - almost 10 years ago now) was the American flag being flown everywhere; more, I believe, out of a sense of solidarity than chauvinism.

Looking good, the XTSi does seem to be a great little camera. I've got a 3200Si flash coming for mine.

Looks great Roy, I haven't put film through mine yet. Hopefully with the weather breaking I will soon.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys, but I have a confession to make. The camera is not an XTsi as stated, but rather an HTsi. I knew that, but for some reason got XTsi stuck in my tired old excuse for a brain! I changed the heading for the thread. This is the camera that Doug gave away a couple of weeks ago. THANKS, Doug! Mounted the 1.7 AF 50mm from my Maxxum 5000 on it, put in new batteries, and fired away! I stand by my comment, quite a capable camera! Now I NEED more lenses! ;D Roy |

Hi Roy!You're welcome!! I'm pleased that the camera works for you, those are very nice shots  I rarely use film anymore, and when I do, I prefer rangefinders with B&W film. I'll keep my eyes open for some lenses. You know, my first SLR was a Canon Tlb QL. I might use one of those if I ever come across one. Doug |

I'm not sure how much difference there is between the HT and XT. I'm impressed with the XTSi, now if I can just get some decent film processing done I'll be happy. I'm having to do way too much Photoshopping on the scans to get what I want from the negatives.
