Minolta DiMAGE A1 Price Drop
The price of the 5 megapixel Minolta DiMAGE A1 digital camera has been drastically reduced by some retailers in the UK and USA. The UK photography website digitalfirst.co.uk is now selling the A1, which improves upon the DiMAGE 7 series of digital cameras, for £638.49 including VAT - that’s over £150 less than the camera was originally selling for when it was launched a few weeks ago. The A1 has also had its price slashed by $200 in the USA. The Canon EOS 300D has a lot to answer for!

I love the fact that, in order to have the same zoom range and APO optical performance as the A1, a person interested in the Digital Rebel/300D would have to spend *more than twice as much* as they would on the A1.

By the way, what is VAT? Volatile Airline Travellers? Vaguely Armored Transports? Very Angry Tazmanians?

VAT stands for Value Added Tax - it's a sales tax which applies to certain goods that are sold in the UK, and is 17.5% at the moment.

Doh! And I only got mine about 4 weeks ago!
Oh well, it was hardly unexpected considering the 300D. If I had waited until now I'd have missed two weeks of shooting in Cuba, so I can't be too upset.

I'd much rather have bought the camera before going to Cuba than after it. Money isn't everything
I bought my EOS 10D back in April for £1,399 body only - it has sold for around £1,199 for the last few months. Ah well!
