For Minolta this brand, the classic products and technology is really too much, let's not mention the most classic domestic SLR camera - Seagull DF series is directly mimicking the Minolta SR-7 , installed X youth artifact X700 Autofocus, auto metering, alpha 9 created the fastest record of the time, even on mechanical shutters - 1/12000 seconds.

The picture is too hard to find. Also come from the internet. If you have any questions, please leave a message directly. The parsley will handle it.
RD3000 1999
Â
Do not check the information really do not remember such a camera, the main reason is that the coriander has not yet entered the year, so even Minolta's first digital SLR do not know.
Â
Looks really long can not flatter like a platypus, the body looks extremely bloated, the reason is actually the body contains two 1.5 megapixel CCD processing originals, through Minolta image processing technology, can generate 2.7 million pixels In the photo, we must know that this is the highest pixel that can be produced by a digital camera at the time. This is also the only DSLR with double CCD imaging in the world.
Dimage x Series 2002
Â
For the traditional card camera, everyone's impression should stay in a boot directly out of the lens, but the Dimage X series uses a periscope lens, making it the thinnest and lightest digital camera at the time, just to be honest, Looks ugly, and compared with Sony's T series is simply a difference, it seems that the two companies together is the best choice.
DiMAGE A1 2003 Nian
Â
The world's first CCD anti-shake technology digital camera, its sensor stabilization technology is still in use today. It must be admitted that the picture quality of A1 was not perfect at that time. The image of the partial product has always been criticized ( has been fixed on A2 ). The selling price of 8000 is too high, but it must be admitted that the A series is indeed Created a new world of digital cameras at the time.
a-7D 2004 Nian

Then the generation of the classic, even today there are still many people miss even in use, body image stabilization of the world's first DSLR, which is just what lens you use, you can achieve the effect of image stabilization, and even for 8000 it was frequently on As for the Stabilizer lens, Minolta’s technology is simply the savior of all poor photographers in the world.

The machine is equipped with a 6 -megapixel Sony CCD (perhaps both sides discussed the issue of merger and technical cooperation), bright and fully-used pentaprism, double dial, dual rollers, real-time af/mf switching, spot metering, The ae locks are not inferior to or even superior to current mainstream cameras in terms of function design and operation, and the picture quality does not seem to be obsolete today.
a100 2006
Â
The first DSLR introduced after integration with Sony , based on the A7D , but with an unprecedented 10.8 -megapixel CCD , the biggest flaw is the noise is more serious, the emergence of this machine also represents the official withdrawal of the Konica Minolta camera stage.
Coriander comment: Even if it is integrated into Sony today, it is still dominated by the original Minolta SLR team in products such as micro-single, so we can actually think that Minolta’s cameras still exist in another way ( Such as the G lens), but it was given more rich content.

Sticking to your Minolta lens of your own collection, until today, it still looks very classic.
