Minolta 400


I just bought a Minolta 400si, an SLR. My teacher is a photographer and has lots of cameras. I would like to know if Minolta cameras shoot good pictures. What's the part of a SLR that shoots clear pictures? A good lens or good camera? Or is it both?
Thanks very much.

  You will do great with your Minolta - they do a great job.

In my opinion, the lens is the part that really determines the sharpness - a decent hunk of glass is essential for good shots. But the camera body does do a lot, too. I depend on my autofocus, for example, to get good sharp shots when I have very little time to focus and set the exposure.
You are going to love your SLR - seeing what you are going to get is just the beginning.
