Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Minolta Maxxum XTsi Panorama 35mm SLR Camera Kit w/ 28-80mm & 70-210mm Lenses, Silver

Customer Review: stunning
Summary: 5 Stars

i am a theatre lighting designer, and due to the nature of my work i need a camera that can do the impossible (low light levels, and low shutter speeds are the norm in my line of work). i had researched cameras for quite some time before buying this one two year ago and i have found its performance to be more than adequate. i do not use the autofocus functions, as most any camera will have trouble autofocusing in low light, but the metering is better than any other camera that i have seen. the other function that made me fall in love with the camera was the one touch fully manual function, no need to focus and no need to set aperture and shutter speed (this way i could hand it to someone who has never shot before and still know that the shot will be as crisp and clear as that of a seasoned photographer. this camera is perhaps the most important tool/toy that i have ever bought.

Description of Minolta Maxxum XTsi Panorama 35mm SLR Camera Kit w/ 28-80mm & 70-210mm Lenses, Silver

The Minolta Maxxum XTsi combines all the control of traditional manual SLR cameras with automatic functions for flexibility and creative control. It has a precise, three-point crosscut auto focusing system that is able to track a subject quickly and efficiently. The camera then constructs a sophisticated 14- segment metering pattern around the subject and makes slight adjustments to set the correct exposure.

With a unique eye-start operation, the Maxxum XTsi provides an instant response to any situation. When the camera is brought to the eye, the autofocus and auto exposure systems are activated automatically, without having to touch the shutter-release button. You can also select several preset shooting modes, including portrait, landscape, close-up, sports/action, and night portrait mode. In aperture priority mode, the camera's system will automatically select the correct shutter speed when you choose an aperture. In shutter priority mode, you can select any shutter speed and the XTsi will set the best lens aperture. However, if you prefer, the Maxxum XTsi is also manually adjustable. This is ideal in unusual shooting conditions.

The built-in flash provides coverage to 28mm, with synch speeds up to 1/125 seconds. It features a red-eye-reduction preflash and can be used in all exposure modes. With continuous film advance, you can shoot up to two frames per second so you'll catch all the action. You have a choice of regularly framed shots or panorama format pictures. This model includes two zoom lenses to give you ultimate flexibility in composition.
