Question : My old flashes don't fire with my digital camera, why?
I own a Konica/Minolta Maxxum 7D digital camera and have two older flash units. A Metz 60CT1 and a Metz 32 Z1. I've used these flash units with my film cameras for years with no problems and would like to use them with my digital camera. The problem I'm having is the digital camera won't fire the flash units. Why?
Answer:
Look at the contacts on your camera and compare them to the ones on the old flash units.
Be sure the trigger voltage is not too high .. it could fry your cameras electronics. Usually a flash with less than 12v trigger voltage (except Canon .. 6v for them) is safe. Your 60CT1 has a trigger voltage of 20.89V and the 32 Z1 3.46V
Here is what I found on the Internet:
"But, not so nice is the fact that Minolta's hot shoe is non-standard. In other words you not only can't attach a non-Minolta flash, but you also can't use other accessories (such as bubble levels) that mount on a camera's hot shoe. The Minolta hot-shoe design is indeed superior to a standard one, but it's a real pain not to be able to use accessories, or a less expensive flash unit."
I guess this is the answer

Question : Where can I find a manual on line for Polaroid Digital Camera PDC5070?
I found the manual on line once, but I haven't recently been able to locate it. What I want to know is do I have to depress exposure button half-way down to have a photo in focus? The photos I've taken have been fuzzy - nothing like the Konica Minolta Z1 I had at one time. I suspect the PDC5070 is the digital equivalent of a box brownie.

Question : Downloading pictures in Konica Revio KD-310Z Digital Camera ...?
have got kd-310z off ebay ... tried getting pics off card with card reader but files are appearing as 'gobbledegook' on pc.symbols instead of numbers and letters. pics are appearing when card is in camera but not recognised when attached to pc.
can u help????
Answer:
You got a bad one. Someone sold you their junk.
This is a VERY old camera (over six years old) and uses a memory card that is no longer made.
Try to get your money back ... I hope you didn't pay more than about $15 including shipping.
You can try calling the Sony help line 800.222.SONY and see what they say, but I am afraid you have been had.
Look here for a good, inexpensive P&S camera and avoid buying on eBay.

Question : What is the best digital camera for indoor low light situations?
right now I have a Konica Minolta Dimage Z3 and I used it at my sons wedding and the pictures I took at his reception were extremely grainy to the point where I cant use them for even just 4*6 prints.
Answer:
For a point & shoot digital camera, the Fujifilm F-series is probably the best for low-light situations. Here are some owners opinions for the newly released F31fd - http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/read_opinions.asp?prodkey=fuji_finepixf31fd
and here's a detailed review - http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilmf31fd/ - the review is several pages long, be sure to checkout the other pages also to see how it compares to other cameras in its class, and the sample photo gallery.

Question : Why my 2GB SD card no longer works in my digital camera?
I have a Konica Minolta digital camera. My 2GB sd card which is probably about 6 months old, used to work in my camera, but now it just says "Unable to use card." BUT the card still works on other card readers, such as my printer. And no, the disk lock is not on.
I tried another 2GB card in my camera, and it works fine. Why can't my camera read that SD card? Does anyone have any insightful answers or solutions to my problem?
Answer:
format the card in the camera

Question : In your opinion or from reviews overall how do you rate the follwing digital camera companies best to worst.?
Cannon, Fujifilm, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Sony
( I have omitted companies such as: Casio, HP, Samsung)
becuase they don't really make their own camera lenses per say. And that they clearly aren't among the upper tier of camera company groups. Although they make good camera's just not part of that select group of pioneers in the camera world.
As well as ...Konica minolta just becuase they arent that common.
Answer:
Canon and Fujifilm and Nikon are probably the best. The canon powershot, the fujifilm finepixZ, and the nikon coolpix are great choices for compact cameras. The finepix is pretty, clear, and is probably my favorite, but all three are good. It is simply a personal choice.
