i know this is a bit late, but i just got my konica minolta dimage a1 out of the cupboard and i'm really unsure which one of my cameras to take to hawaii tomorrow.
i have a panasonic fx2 and the above camera. one is really tiny that i can fit in my pocket and the other has a big lens. which one of these cameras is the best one to take tomorrow? i'll just be taking pictures of the beach, attractions, laua's, scenery, waikiki. i hope someone can help me! ![]() |

The A1.
I am not so familiar with the FX2, but I know the A1 has a very good lens (28 - 200). I think you will find the range of the A1 lens to be very useful in Hawaii, more so than the FX2. Declan |

IMO definitely A1.
Much better wideangle for landscape shots, also longer tele is useful if you can't/don't want to walk nearer. Image stabilization helps when taking photos in dimmer light. (like sunsets) |

I would take both. If you take a trip to the top of one of the volcanoes on the main island, climb Diamond Head or take a trip anywhere you would want scenic pictures, the wide angle lens on the A1 would give you much nicer scenic pictures. It also has a better lens and takes sharper images than the FX2. And the FX2 LCD-only viewfinder setup probably isn't the best in bright sunlight.
But there will probably be times you don't want to lug a large camera but might encounter picture opportunities. A pocket camera is ideal for those situations. |
