Amazon.com Product Description

The Minolta Maxxum 4 is the perfect camera to carry on your next adventure. Whether you are new to photography, or a seasoned amateur, the Maxxum 4 has all the features to create beautiful images, and it sports a sophisticated ergonomic design to make photography intuitive and effortless.

(Note that this package does not contain a lens; see also the Maxxum 4 Date SLR with 28-80mm zoom lens.)

Its super-fast autofocus system with a central cross sensor and two vertical side sensors enables you to capture razor-sharp images of fast-moving subjects. The 14-segment honeycomb-pattern metering system ensures beautiful photos under the most difficult lighting condition. For creative image compositions, the ability to switch between the wide focus area and the local focus areas is available in order to single out an off-center subject without recomposing the shot.

For maximum autofocus control, the Maxxum 4 has three AF modes: single-shot, continuous/predictive, and automatic. Single-shot AF locks focus on stationary subjects. Continuous/predictive AF tracks moving subjects right up to and during the moment of shutter release. Automatic AF determines whether the subject is moving or still, and will automatically select either single-shot or continuous/predictive AF.

The built-in quartz-data back imprints the date or time right onto the photo, making it very useful for cataloging photographs and making photo records of important events. Data imprinting can be turned on or off as desired.

The Maxxum 4 has many advanced features packed into its light, compact body, including:

A built-in flash with auto, off, fill-flash, red-eye reduction (which greatly reduces the red-eye effect in portraits), and wireless remote flash control modes
Spot metering for measuring the brightness of a small area within a scene
Subject Program Selection function that optimizes the camera for specific situations; modes include portrait, landscape, close-up, sports action, and night portrait
Continuous film advance enables you to capture action scenes as they unfold, advancing the film at 1.7 frames per second as long as the shutter-release button is held down
The viewfinder provides a bright, clear image, important when working in low-light conditions or with slow lenses

nice camera for the money.......2007-08-06

I really enjoy this camera. I have also owned the 3 date. Both are similar; extra features on this one. Once in awhile the pictures are blury. This is probably due to operator error. One problem with the Minoltas is that they are quite breakable. My sister also owns one and we both broke the first models in the same place. (the back covers broke off) They were both dropped but from a short distance onto carpet. Now I make sure to always use the strap.

Good Camera .......2005-03-10

I must say, I really do like this camera. However, for a photographer that may want to explore the fine art of photography, this system may make it a little hard to do that. I don't particularly like the digital aperture and shutter speed adjusting. I would rather spin the lens, but I guess that's just me wanting to keep it simple. I also don't like the fact that you don't really have a very nice set of options if you are shopping for a new lens.

The automatic focus really isn't that great. Manual focus is just so much better anyways!
I have taken many many rolls of film and have used this for black and white prints in the darkroom, and I have really been very impressed with the quality of prints. I can even blow up some of these prints to 11 x 14, which is often unheard of for 35mm film, but they honestly do come out quite nice.

I recently purchased a medium format camera, but I am definitely keeping this camera. It's lightweight, easy to use (with the exception of balancing the light meter), and a great camera.

But this if you are looking for an affordable, nice SLR camera!

Great, solid camera.......2004-03-01

We bought this camera for amateur photos from our wedding in 2002. It is a solid piece with simple, easy to understand controls. Some of the shots from this camera looked better than the professional ones. We also took this camera to Paris for our honeymoon. Our photos were absolutely beautiful in both indoor and outdoor settings. I highly recommend this camera.

Minolta Maxxum.......2004-01-17

I love this camera! I have barely taken any bad pictures. I only wish that the auto focus worked better, although I prefer manual focus anyway.

Amazing Camera!.......2003-12-27

Although I have never owned an SLR camera before this one, I have found it incredibly easy to use and to capture beautiful pictures. After looking at many other models and planning to purchase one myself, I was surprised to recieve this camera for Christmas. Though I am only a beginner and have only used the camera for a short time, I am already beginning to learn the basics of expert photography and am even starting to take advantage of the creative genius my camera allows me to possess, while still producing an expert, clear, crisp photograph. The instruction manual is clear and precise, the design fully functional and ergonomic, and the LCD panel a helpful addition to an already excellent model. I recommend this camera to any beginner looking for an inexpensive, high quality SLR camera.

Information needed.......2003-09-18

I have bought a Minolta Maxxum 4 about an year back. It's a good camera. But unfortunately I have misplaced the product handbook of the same. I tried to search for the same in the website. Other than your site hardly I could find any other. But the manual is only 18 pages instead of 150 odd pages. Can you please help me?

Beware refurbished Maxxum 3's.......2005-04-26

I bought a factory refurbished Maxxum 3 and immediately regretted it. Both rolls of film I tried, it spontaneously rewound the film after taking 4-5 pictures! Nice.

Excellent camera.......2004-11-12

I bought this camera because I love to take pictures. I started using the camera and I loved the way the pictures are so sharp and detailed. This camera is now attached to my hip and I take it everywhere now. Very good buy for the amateur or expert.

great camera.......2004-03-25

This camera takes perfect pictures. Every little detail in the photo is crystal clear. I can't believe how horrible all my pictures from my previous camera look compared to the pictures that the maxxum 3 takes. I highly recommend this camera.

Great Camera.......2004-01-17

This camera gives the best photographic results of any camera I've ever worked with. Ease of use and wonderful quality results in a perfect personal rating of this camera.
