The Minolta Maxxum HTsi is a entry level auto focus 35mm SLR camera released in 1998.
It is a simplified lower cost version of the Maxxum HTsi Plus / Minolta Dynax 505si; which was based on the more complex Dynax 505si Super / Maxxum XTsi / α Sweet. Features removed mostly involve flash related capbilities most often used in a studio along with the removal of the remote release socket.
