I have no idea what you're talking about, and I don't think you do either.
Firmware upgrades are free and available for download, as well as manuals
for almost everything they made. They are the standard for support in
this area. We have 3 minolta film slr's and 4 digital cams from
minolta and have enjoyed every one with out a bit of trouble. And it's
nice not to have to replace all of my maxxum 9000 lenses to go digital
finally. My new 5D is a great camera for the price, just too late to
market.
