methinks i
should have investigated further before purchasing.
phooey - i always do the hindsight thing and
think maybe i should have gone with the cannon.
i HATE it when i do that. anyway, i've yet to
take a picture - maybe this weekend.

Sounds like the tiny box of electronics has you intimidated.
Don't let all the pages of instructions fool you. Most the
stuff contained on those pages are for those who are for
photographer-wanna-bees. Most of that stuff you will
rarely use unless you really, really want to.

There is probably a simple setting that allows you to point
and shoot. And perhaps another button or something to
allow you to zoom in a little.

The only setting that might need adjustment would be the
amount of memory you want each photo to use. I would
venture to guess it is already set at some sort of mid
range setting.

The thing you might be most nervous about is how to connect
it all to your PC. There is probably a USB cable and a CD
to install. Hopefully the CD walks you right through it.

If not, post your questions here and we will all chip in to
offer you some answers.

Give me the name of your camera and when I get a chance
I'll see if they have some sort of technical support online
or a FAQ.

We'll have you taking pictures in no time. <g>

Good luck. Don't be scared of a little ol' Minolta. You
are bigger and smarter than it.
