Minolta Vectis 2000
The Minolta Vectis 2000 was a well designed fine small compact zoom camera of Minolta's Vectis series for the advanced photo system (APS) with builtin flash. It had been manufactured in China. The Vectis remote controller was applyable on the Vectis 2000. The camera body was designed as its own case, just like that of its "sister" Minolta Vectis 3000.
The little camera had typical features of a modern compact camera of its time: autofocus, meter-controlled exposure, date imprinting, title codes, automatic flash mode with or without red eye reduction by an extra flash before exposure, night portrait mode, landscape (without flash) mode, or flash manually on/off-mode instead, focus holding by pressing the shutter-release-button halfways, and a self-timer.
