Konica Minolta A1 in great condition. Comes with box, manuals/cds, usb cable, av cable, 81c, 82a, spot diffusion filters, charger, battery, hood, cap, strap, and 16mb CF (optimal for firmware updates). Will include 81a and cross screen if I can find them.
KM recently released the 1.13 firmware for the A1. The write speeds are extremely quick and benefit from fast CF cards just like fast DSLRs do. RAW speeds are very usable (5 shot burst), and jpeg is not unlimited but still very good. This is especially great because the A1 does have some jpeg compression, and with a good RAW converter you get pictures better than those when the camera was first reviewed.
Great camera, anti-shake, 28-200mm F2.8 - F3.5 Minolta GT lens, 30 - 1/16000s shutter, two control dials, pivotable and higher resolution viewfinder, top data panel, mechanical manual ring zoom, manual focus ring, supports wireless flash. 1.12u firmwire. 2/3" 5mp sensor has lower noise than found on 2/3" 8mp sensors in Sony F828 and company. Nice deep grip, with a smaller grip on the back for the thumb. It is missing the eyecup (I have completely forgotten about that, I was only reminded of it when I was inspecting the camera.) DSLR-like camera in a smaller, cheaper package.
Flash was pretty harsh on these pictures.
I will include 2-3 day usps priority shipping to the continental US with delivery confirmation.
Paypal or PO money order for $330 shipped 2-3 usps priority. OBO Tell me if you believe this is not reasonable.
