wish my Nikon digital SLR was as easy to work as that old Minolta XG-1.

Can understand that... I still have my Minolta XD-11... ;-)

I don’t know if Minolta is still in business or not.

A few years ago they merged with Konica then a few years after that, they sold their camera division to Sony. I was glad to see that Sony kept the “A” mount lenses as I had a bunch of them.

I thought the company was dead then a couple of years after that, I saw the “Minolta Gator Bowl”. Sort of surprised me as I had assumed they were gone.
