Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The ultra-compact and lightweight Maxxum XTsi raises the level of performance for autofocus SLR cameras in its class. 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 Camera to grow with, April 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Minolta Maxxum XTsi 35mm SLR Camera Kit w/ 28-80mm Lens (Electronics)

I wanted an SLR camera that I could use manually or have it all automatic, and one I can grow with, and this is the perfect camera for that - The camera is easy to use, and instruction book, although a bit long, is very detailed and guides you every step of the way!

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB, June 26, 2002

This review is from: Minolta Maxxum XTsi 35mm SLR Camera Kit w/ 28-80mm Lens (Electronics)

This camera is absolutely superb in function, clarity, ease of use, and all around enjoyment. It is light, yet does not have the "cheap" feel of other cameras, the AutoFocus is quick and quiet, and it takes excellent pictures. The manual side of this camera is easy to setup and operate. Additional lenses can be had at reasonable prices. The built in flash works flawlessly. For those individuals who need an external flash, they can be purchased, although they are pricey. I recommend this camera for everyone from beginners to professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera for the Money !!, June 21, 2002

After much research and shopping, the XTsi has the most versatility and features for the money. Most retail stores in the area only sell the less expensive Minolta Maxxum cameras at the same price as the XTsi here at Amazon. The panoramic option is great for those senic mountain views and the camera is truely intuitive. I would recommend this camera to anyone who is either just getting into photography or is looking to step up from a compact 35mm camera.
