Amazon.com Product Description
The Minolta Maxxum QTsi is the easiest-to-use single-lens reflex 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.pThe Minolta QTsi features a detachable 35-80mm lens, 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 autoexposure 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.pIn 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.

 GREAT CAMERA September 28, 2008
Amy (Chapel Hill, NC USA)
I have had my Maxxum QTsi for 9 years now and have been extremely pleased with its performance. I have a Sony digital point and shoot camera, and have NEVER been able to capture anywhere near the quality of photo that I can get with this camera. In fact, I only use the digital when I need something really compact. I find that framing the subject with this camera is really easy (your picture comes out exactly as viewed), and I have thoroughly enjoyed it as my first SLR. I have beautiful sunset and beach shots that are clear and colorful, even without a UV filter. The camera has never given me a day of trouble. My first 28-80mm lens that was packaged with the camera eventually jammed and would not focus after 5 years, but I purchased a Tamron 28-200mm lens 3+ years ago with no further issues. I highly recommend this camera...even a novice like myself can take from the box and start shooting great pictures.
There IS no better!!!! December 14, 2007

I just got finished writing a review on one of my digital cameras. br /I have gone thru several digital cameras in the past few years. I had a $400 Nikon camera which decided to break on me 1 month after the 1 yr warranty. I had a Sony Cybershot (forgot which one) which lasted at least 2 yrs. But the new ones are not even close to the quality of the old ones. A Canon Powershot A530 - which got great reviews... but has a CONSTANT battery low blinking.. That only lasted 5 months. Lastly, a DXG (Kyocera) CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP $50 dig camera. STAY AWAY! br / br /Bottom line. After owning those digital cameras while owning this Minolta. I will never go back to a digital camera again. This truly is the best camera I have ever had. You won't find a better camera that takes such great pictures. Especially the up close shots! Hands down, WORTH buying one. Even used. I got my USED one on ebay about 4-5 yrs ago. and it still works great - never a problem!
1999 into 2007... July 16, 2007

I purchased this camera back in 1999, after I gave birth to my son. This camera is AMAZING! In looking at the digital camera I own and this one, I'm going back to 35MM. I don't have the money to afford a digital camera that could take pictures the way this camera will. It's been a perfect camera with no issues since 1999, other than I need to get some batteries and some Kodak film! Over the years, I have upgraded the lens, to have the ability to take closer pictures. I'll come back here and upload some of the pictures I've taken over the years! This is the perfect camera for someone just starting out in the 35MM world, and your looking for EXCELLENT pictures!

I used this camera for my photography classes in high school and college. I was afraid that this camera wasn't as good as the one priced more. I love this camera. It goes everywhere with me. The pictures are amazing, and you can buy tons of lenses for this camera. I will tell you, out of all the camera's that I own, and have used, this is my favorite.

Since I am married to the military, I travel a lot to different countries. This camera is perfect, whether I am taking pictures of Mt. Fuji or my newborn, this camera always delivers great results. The auto focus is slow at times, but you can override that and manually focus on the object.
