Ice skating? You're going to fall until you become decent and then you'll still fall. Running? You're feet and legs are going to ache for awhile until you build up some stamina. This is also pretty much true when you try something new. Whenever you take a new medicine, you usually have to worry about possible side effects. Auto focusing was becoming much slower to achieve and with me recently taking a lot more shots of moving subjects ( Dogz on Walkz), I felt it was time to start exploring the possibility of getting a new camera. I used that camera a lot over the years, but I've noticed, especially recently, that the lens and camera were moving much slower. The guy who sold it to me said, I'd probably never use the Minolta lens, because the lens that came with my Sony was better and covered more ground, and he was absolutely right. I ended up at a camera store in Pasadena where I looked at the Sony Alpha 100 and ended up purchasing that with a nice zoom lens. I figured if I bought a Sony camera, I'd end up being able to use the lenses from my Minolta with that. It made sense since Sony had bought Minolta. I went back and forth between different brands, but what ended up swaying me to Sony at the time was the mounts for the lenses were the same as with Minolta. So when it started slowing down and showing wear and tear, I felt it was time to move into the digital age and get a DSLR. I liked the zoom lens on it and it focused quickly, which was very important to me. My wife bought me a Minolta Maxxum SLR just about the time we got married and I used that camera for the longest time. For the past 30 years or so, I've been using either Minolta or Sony cameras.
