I have used it Semi- Professionally for five of those years and it has only needed maintenance once. I have taken in camping, backpacking and white water rafting. I don't know about any of the more recently made products but I would certainly recomend that anybody considering a camera check out Minolta. I also have had a Vivitar flash for most of my photographic career and haven't had any problems. Happy Shooting. Malcolm Slaney Purdue EE Dept.
