Minolta Dynax SPxi – 35mm Autofocus SLR Camera (xi Series)

Released as the Maxxum SPxi in North America, the Dynax SPxi is the most affordable SLR in Minolta’s high-tech xi series, combining sleek design with surprisingly advanced features.

Its standout innovation is ASZ (Auto Standby Zoom)—a mode where the camera automatically adjusts the zoom based on your composition, subject distance, or framing preferences. Thanks to Minolta’s Eye-Start system, the camera activates as soon as your eye approaches the viewfinder, instantly prepping focus and zoom for fast, reactive photography.

Despite its automation, users can manually override the zoom by turning the lens barrel ring—offering flexibility and control in the moment. The camera is compatible with Minolta A-mount (AF) lenses, including the power zoom xi series, and accepts standard 35mm film.

Perfect for both beginners and collectors, this body is ideal for pairing with vintage Minolta lenses or exploring the tech-forward design trends of early 90s SLRs.
