A newly-developed, more precise autofocusing system, 14-segment metering, unique "eye start" operation, and the addition of other high-performance features makes the XTsi an ideal choice for hobbyist and amateur photographers. Plus, an enhanced cosmetic appearance with a silver metallic finish and leather-like grip coverings adds head-turning good looks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Minolta XTsi, November 16, 2000

I bought this camera a year ago (from Wolf Camera in Charlotte). I love it! It is easy to use and produces sharp, clear photos. I have to turn off the autofocus sometimes, but that seems to be true of most AF cameras. I like how I can have complete control over the aperture and shutter speed (as well as focus), or I can let the camera control any or all of these functions. There are many other configurable features as well. I initially bought a 28-105 Sigma lens and just added a 70-300, with Macro. The lens that comes with this camera would be good to start out with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera, October 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Minolta Maxxum XTsi 35mm Auto Focus SLR Camera with 28-80mm Silver Zoom Lens (Electronics)

A wonderful camera for beginner to pro. The camera's many features allow you to grow from using automatic features to solely manual. Comfortable in your hands too. The eye start feature is great for action situations but should be turned off otherwise due to battery comsumption. The camera's many features allow you to use it under any and all situations and, even as a new photographer, come out with good photographic results. Many kudos to Minolta for providing one of the best instruction books I have ever seen with the Xtsi.
