Minolta AF-E II (called Freedom 200 in America) is an autofocus compact camera and a simplified successor model to the original AF-E. It has motor drive, built-in flash and runs on either a photolithium battery or common AA batteries. It uses DX-coded films, but only at ISO 100 or ISO 400. It served as the basis for both the fix-focus FS-E II and the all-weather AF-SP.
