There are a few flash models that require an adaptor to work properly.
#Film minolta camera series#
Minolta Program series flashes will work with the 3xi if you need more power than the built-in flash can supply. In addition, i and xi series lenses will auto-zoom if you need that feature. Any lens made with the alpha mount - from Minolta, Konika,Tamron or even the new Sony DSLR line will fit and function just fine.

The 3xi is compatable with a wide host of Maxxum accessories. Auto loading, auto winding, and pooint and shoot convenience are matched with the flexibility to alter most of the settings manually if one prefers.Įrgonomically, it fits nicely in the hand and is fairly light, allowing for good mobility when shooting. A shame these camera's are not used and build annymore. If I compare this camera with more expensive actual (digial) tools, this is a perfect camera (even without considering the price level). This camera was clearly designed for Program function. The buttons for apperture and shutter speed are a weak point but they do the job. The LCD display gives all the information. The shutter gives a smooth sound, no vibrations, fast mirror return.įilm advance is ok, could be a little less noisy. In good light conditions, focus works perfect. Good point is that when you focus manually, the "in focus" indication keeps working. Maybe a more expensive camera will do a better job. Wish a Sony alfa-camera would feel like this. The rubber on the right hand side gives a good grip. This camera has a handy size versus weight. Since I use to take a lot of pictures (50 pictures & 1 film/week), I consider ergonomics as important. I consider a camera as a linking device between lens and capturing element.

For 39 Euro at the local shop, including a 35-80 zoom. I bought this camera as my first auto-focus camera.
