The '''Minolta Dynax 3000i''' was both, the budget model of [[Minolta]]'s second generation of [[autofocus]] system cameras, and its first [[point-and-shoot]] single lens reflex camera. The only thing missing was a built-in [[flash]], but the small flashguns D316i and D314i where attachable to the new Dynax/Maxxum flash connector. These little system flashes used power from the expensive 5CR2 camera battery. The camera had no own flash-on/off switch. Switching to flash mode  was only possible after attaching and afterwards switching on the D316i, D314i or 3200i system flashgun. [[flash sync]]hronized exposure times where from 1/20 to 1/60 seconds, normal shutter speeds were 4s-1/1000 seconds. The only exposure mode beside program- and flash automatics was the Hi-Speed mode which made automatic exposure with preference for the highest possible shutter speed.

The Minolta Dynax 3000i was both the budget model of Minolta's second generation of autofocus system cameras, and its first point-and-shoot single lens reflex camera. The only thing missing was a built-in flash, but the small flashguns D316i and D314i were attachable to the new Dynax/Maxxum flash connector. These little system flashes used power from the expensive 5CR2 camera battery. The camera had no own flash-on/off switch. Switching to flash mode was only possible after attaching and afterwards switching on the D316i, D314i or 3200i system flashgun. flash synchronized exposure times where from 1/20 to 1/60 seconds, normal shutter speeds were 4s-1/1000 seconds. The only exposure mode beside program- and flash automatics was the Hi-Speed mode which made automatic exposure with preference for the highest possible shutter speed.

It was also sold as the Minolta Maxxum 3000i in the USA and as the Minolta α-3700i in Japan.
