Product Description
The Minolta Maxxum STsi Panorama DATE offers some major advantages over even the most advanced point-and-shoot compact camera. The first is versatility. The Maxxum STsi is part of the world-renowned Maxxum system of autofocus SLR cameras, lenses, and accessories. The STsi can accept any Maxxum or Minolta AF lens, ranging from ultra-wide-angle 16mm fisheye to 600mm super telephoto, including zoom and macro lenses. This interchangeable lens versatility enables a quality, diversity, and style of photography that is not possible with any type of point-and-shoot camera. Additionally, the STsi can accept Maxxum's high-power accessory flash units, which provide the extensive and flexible flash coverage that's also impossible with a point-and-shoot camera.Another SLR advantage is through-the-lens (TTL) viewing. You see just what the lens sees. There is no need to make approximate parallax adjustments when framing the image. What you see is what you get. And because you're looking through the lens, you see the autofocusing as fast as it happens, so you know your subject will be sharp. A third SLR advantage is higher performance. The Maxxum STsi has a much more sophisticated autofocus and autoexposure system than a point and shoot camera, and this sophistication can easily be seen in the resulting photographs. Plus, because of the autoexposure system's flexibility, the STsi can accept the widest choice of 35mm films imaginable (ISO 25 - 5000, print or slide film, color or black and white). There is a wealth of information available on the uses and advantages of different film speeds and types. The Maxxum STsi will allow you to expand your photographic capabilities with lenses, flashes, and accessories as your interest in photography grows. It is a camera you'll want to keep for years to come.Electronics:
