So yesterday I was in a value village and I see a camera bag sitting at the front counter, upon inspection it was a full kit with a minolta maxxum 5000, 4 lens, flash, filters, and manuals.

I’ve heard people throw the term plastic fantastic around here and there but never really heard it reference actual models, this is a plastic body camera and feels just as solid as my older slr cameras.

So would this be one of these plastic fantastic models or no?

    I did read that the 5000 was a lower end consumer level slr the 7000 and 9000 were more for professionals, it seems pretty solid though even for a lower end model

      Oh yeah, I think mainly there are just fewer manual settings available/more automatic.

        I mean playing with it I’ve been able to find all my settings I’d need for manual shooting so they didn’t remove them but it isn’t very intuitive to shoot manual on it, definitely gear towards auto use
