Minolta Maxxum HTsi 35mm SLR Camera Kit w/ 28-80mm & 70-210mm Lenses, Silver

Product Description:

The Minolta Maxxum HTsi is a full-powered compact 35mm SLR camera. It features a newly developed three-point AF sensor configuration. This technology consists of two vertical sidebars and a central crosshair-shaped segment. The built-in flash is powered by the camera battery. The flash provides coverage up to 28mm, with synch speeds up to 1/125 seconds. It can be used in all four exposure modes and features a selectable red-eye-reduction preflash. The flash is fully synchronized with shutter speeds up to 1/4,000 seconds.

In addition to a full-auto mode, the Maxxum HTsi offers five different subject program modes: portrait, landscape, close-up, sport/action, and night portrait. For creative exposure control, Minolta provides aperture and shutter priority modes. In manual mode, you can take full creative control over the image-making process by selecting both the shutter speed and aperture. Functions such as spot metering, slow-shutter sync, exposure compensation, exposure bracketing, double-exposure mode, panorama mode, and a remote release terminal increase the HTsi's flexibility.

To catch action shots, the HTsi has two frames per second continuous film advance driven by the camera motor. The control layout is simple and logical so beginners and professionals alike can work quickly and successfully. This model includes two powerful zoom lenses: a 28-80mm and a 70- 210mm.

HTSi 35mm plus 28-80 and 70-210mm zoom lenses - Excellent2000-08-29
The HTSi 35mm is my first SLR camera. Compared to the point and shoot Olympus which I've used over the past seven years the results are fabulous. Tremendously easy to use this camera incorporates more manual features than a novice would normal use. The bottom line though is that the end picture quality is tremendous. Where I used to regularly get 3-5 pictures on a 24 exposure film which were of poor quality (out of focus), with the Minolta I've averaged less than one per roll. The pictoral symbols on the camera are generally straight forward for standard settings (portraits, night shots, etc). For those who use manual settings on a casual basis, the combination function button/dial is a bit difficult to recall so plan on keeping your users guide close by.

Both lenses are excellent (as attested by the picture quality. The 28-80 is a solid general lens for landscapes. The 70-210 is perfect for the novice who wants portrait capabilities without the extra bulk of the 300mm lense. Users who are consumed with greater picture taking range might consider the 300mm zoom, but realize this comes with the tradeoff of needing a large camera bag to tout the SLR and the 300 zoom lens. Portrait taking with the 70-210 is excellent, this lense the SLR and the 28-80 can be easily carried in a small/mid size camera bag making it more portable if you're carrying it over any distance.

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
