Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Minolta Maxxum 800si 35mm SLR Camera (Body Only)Customer Review: A Super 35MM camera Summary: 5 Stars
The Minolta Maxxum 800si is from that dying era called "film". The nicety of the camera is the it's a feature laden camera. The most prominent feature is the extra powerful flash that easily has far greater reach than the Maxxum 7; it's replacement. It has a GN of 14-20 whereas the famed Maxxum 7 is only 12 at 100 meters w/ ASA 100 film. I like the 800si and I really like the Maxxum 7 as they almost have the same technical specifications except for the flash along with the differences also is the presentation / platform of those features. I recommend the VC-700 vertical control grip for better balance and more battery power for those long shots or cold weather. This camera is no Maxxum 7 (obviously) but it's VERY GOOD. If you don't want to get an external flash and want a powerful built-in flash, this is the camera to get as you'll save the money to get good glass. By God's grace, I have both the Maxxum 7 and the Maxxum 800si and that's where I get the comparisons from. The 800si is an awesome camera when detail was placed on an item that's now regarded as a throwaway item or a cheap digital camera that'll konk out in a month or two. Not the case with the Maxxum 800si as it's a solid and robust camera for the demanding film shooting enthusiast. Get some nice B&W film (I like Tri-X, when I can find it here in Alaska...) and have fun!
That's what it's all about & GOD Bless!!!
