Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Minolta Maxxum QTsi is the easiest-to-use SLR camera in Minolta's Maxxum product line. It handles and operates similarly to a fully automatic point-and-shoot camera, but provides the picture quality and system flexibility that only an SLR camera can offer. It is a camera you can grow with by adding lenses, flash units, and accessories.

The Minolta QTsi features two detachable lenses, selectable automatic or manual focus, a built-in pop-up flash with four modes, a self-timer, and TTL-type metering. It also offers programmed auto exposure with an additional five modes for portraits, landscapes, close-ups, action shots, and night portraits. Film transport is automatic as well. A large on-body LCD panel displays exposure mode, battery condition, mode selection, and whether manual focus or autofocus is selected.

In the box, you receive the Minolta Maxxum QTsi body, a Minolta lens and lens cap, an adjustable neck strap, a user's manual, and warranty information. It operates on two 3-volt CR2 lithium batteries, which are sold separately. This camera is covered by a one-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super light and phenomenal!, February 4, 2001

By	TRICIA FERRIGNO (HAMILTON SQUARE, NEW JERSEY United States) - See all my reviews

If you are tired of the point-and-shoot cameras and want to upgrade to a more sophisticated, yet VERY easy to use camera, the Minolta Maxuum is the one to buy! Have gotten a ton of compliments on the results. I love to take pictures of my neices and nephews, and with the 300 zoom lens, you can be on the other side of a room and take great candid shots. What I also love about this camera is you can attach different filters (I'm using Cokin) to create even more spectacular pictures. Can't say enough about it. Did I mention that it is extremely light-weight?!

So many extra features as well. I would never buy a different type and will recommend this camera to my friends...Amazon prices are the best I've found also so that makes it an extra special buy!!
