Amazon.com Product Description

The small, light Minolta Maxxum 35mm AF SLR is easy to pack, carry, and handle on all your adventures. The Maxxum 5 also houses a powerful array of high-performance features that will satisfy both beginner photographers and serious photo hobbyists.

The Maxxum 5's high-response autofocus system makes sure your once-in-a-lifetime moments will be razor sharp. This new-generation Maxxum features an improved high-power AF drive motor and high-speed microcomputer for quicker and more precise AF control. It tracks even fast action and random movements effortlessly, right up to the moment the shutter is released.

The Maxxum 5 uses Minolta's new seven-point AF system. The focus sensors are laid out in a wide area to the "rule of thirds," so you have the creative flexibility of positioning your subject anywhere within the focus frame. The center crosshair sensor keeps the focus sharp regardless of vertical or horizontal subject contrast. For maximum autofocus control, the Maxxum 5 has three AF modes: single-shot, continuous-predictive, and automatic.

The Maxxum 5 is designed around speed, precision, and power. It features a top shutter speed of 1/4,000 second, which can stop fast action or let you take beautiful portraits using large apertures under strong light. For capturing action as it unfolds, the Maxxum 5 can be set for continuous film advance. The film advances at three frames per second as long as you hold down the shutter-release button.

The Maxxum 5's state-of-the-art metering system delivers accurate exposures under a diverse range of lighting and subject conditions. It measures light levels from 13 segments in a honeycomb pattern across the viewfinder frame, plus the background area. And much like the method used by professional photographers, this intelligent metering system emphasizes the meter segments surrounding the focus sensor in use.

The built-in flash covers lenses as wide as 28mm, and puts creative flash control at your fingertips with auto, off, fill-flash, red-eye reduction, and wireless remote flash control modes. For greater flash output and versatility, high-powered Maxxum flash units are available as optional accessories. The Maxxum 5 also features a maximum flash sync speed of 1/125 second.

Nice Camera with some drawbacks.......2007-05-26

Initially, I purchased a Minolta Maxxum 4, but was sent the Maxxum 5 instead. No problem, as I figured they were basically the same camera. As has been mentioned, the camera is feather light, which in my opinion, isn't necessarily a plus. I have never cared for the feel of a point and shoot, and this camera reminds me of that. Even though, it's heavy on the functions, and has all the neat stuff a high priced camera has. But, it has some drawbacks. Nearly all of my pictures taken in the auto mode with flash have been overexposed. Every now and then I'll get a nicely exposed photo, but it's been rare. Also, I've had trouble with the power on this camera. Not sure what happened, but I couldn't get the camera to come on. I replaced the batteries (twice), and still no power. And then, as if by a miracle, the power came on and I haven't had any trouble since. Now, wouldn't that be a pain if one were in a situation whereby you were taking memories that were priceless?? Another thing: My camera came with a CD that has the manual on it. I don't care for that in that I've had to print it out and try to make it compact enough to carry with me on shoots.
If I had it to do over, I'm not sure this would be the camera I'd choose. Problem is, I like the functions, and they're relatively easy to learn. Picture quality (so far) hasn't been what I'd expect; not anything near my Minolta Maxxum 7000 that I've had for 15 years.

backup camera for a pro photographer.......2004-12-11

the minolta maxxum 5 is my back up camera for my outher cameras.

this camera is very light it is the 2nd lighest camera on the market. the minolta maxxum 3 is the lightest on the market.

it has most bells for it's of class and it has most of the bells that you would find on the minolta pro camera line.

here is what you get with the camera

Fastest AF in its class
Selectable, 7-point, AF system
AF modes: single-shot, continuous/predictive, and automatic
Exposure: Program AE, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual, expsoure compensation
Eye-Start
Shutter: High-Speed 1/4000 Sec. and 1/125 Sec. flash sync
3 fps continuous film advance
Depth-of-field preview
Spot meter and a wireless off shoe flash system. you don't need to have a pc cable for it.

as for flash units on this camera. you can find cheap flash units at camrea stores. the reason why Minolta made the flash shoe that way because it's customers where telling them they would like to see a faster locking flash shoe on there cameras. there are no crossover flash on the market that you can use on all the cameras. when you buy a flash for a canon you can't use it on a nikon. but there is onley one flash co. out there that do make a adoptor for all the cameras on the market for there flash.

this is a very simple and easy camera to use and yet very powerfull too.

Pro photographer.......2004-02-04

This is a very good camera is you do not want to gett a cheap slr w/ every thing thing you need but if you ever think of going digatl go with canon becuse they have better bodys and lenses and both work with all the lens they have now so i would say if u r not going to go diatl get this but if you r look at a canon flim SLR

Great features, poor reliability.......2004-01-10

This camera has great features for the price, and I was extremely happy with the quality of the photos I took in the 3 days I had the camera. Then it started eating whole rolls of film. After contacting the manufacturer they would repair it and I would pay all shipping costs. I returned it to amazon instead.

Recent buyer.......2003-11-28

Photos taken from my Minolta 5, which I recently purchased, have been by and large disappointing. Whether using manual or automatic mode for focus, lighting, subject type, etc. the resulting photos do not exceed the quality one would obtain with a normal point-and-shoot camera. So far, the "extra performance" of this SLR with multiple menus has failed to materialise. I would very much like to trade it in for another brand.

Scam.......2007-06-06

I purchase this product. The memory card works in my phone, however the adaptor that comes with it was defective, therefore i cannot use it in my computer or any card reader. I called eek tech but they would not replace it. I paid about $4 in shipping for a $1 product. I will dispute the charges with mastercard and rate this product from this store to Zero.

Placed order twice, both cancelled by Eek after a few days.......2007-04-20

I placed orders twice and received confirmation. A few days later, the order was cancelled.
First order: Amazon said might be problem with my credit card, then later said it was actually cancelled by the vendor.
Second order: Again cancelled a few days after the order was confirmed.

Fast service.......2005-10-25

I liked the fast service I recieved and the quality of the merchandise. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

Cheep but good quality............2006-05-10

I bought these a few years ago and so far they have preformed well. Light to carry even down the Grand Canyon. Deep in the Petrified Forest wilderness. Can focus far or to 15 ft. Nice carring case with mine too. I will buy another when this fails.

really good binoc's.......2004-08-13

i'm a photographer...with tons of gear from canon, minolta, zeiss, leica etc. I think I'm fairly critical when it comes to the quality of optics.

I choses the for concerts mainly. I wanted a pair that I didnt care if they got lost.

For the money, this cheap-o set of binoc's is damn good. I compared them to the Nikons ($65), the Meades, the Bushnell's and a few others. I wanted something nice and small for concerts but didnt want a piece of junk that I'd hate to look through. These binoc's have a metal focusing plate on top, smooth and tight focusing center-roller, heavy rubber covered lens barrels and they're very light. they have adjustable eye pieces for those with difference prescription eyes/contacts/glasses. It has a very thin nylon string as the neckstrap...feels like a shoelace...probably it's biggest fault. It comes with a decent case with belt loop and velco closing flap.
