It is a successor to the [[Minolta Dynax 9xi|9xi]] and [[Minolta Dynax 800si|800si]]. As with the 9xi, the 9 is a rugged camera with legends of it being used to drive nails. Rubberized and weatherproof controls make this camera ready to take on anything in its path. Later versions included the ultra rare 9Ti with a titanium body that is reputed to put the famed [[Nikon F5]] to shame. Its controls followed the [[Minolta Dynax 600si / Maxxum 600si|600si]].
