Minolta/Konica Minolta/Sony Alpha camera bodies

Please note that this page only provides technical information. This is not an online shop. Don't send requests for price quotes etc. I can not sell you anything that's listed here.

Display filter

This is supposed to be a tech data sheet of all Minolta/KonicaMinolta/Sony Alpha bodies. My goal is to list all bodies, including older versions.

Bodies are highlighted as follows:

Current body
Discontinued body
Announced body

Brands are highlighted as follows:

Minolta, Konica Minolta
Sony

Whenever there's a “?” or empty space in the table, I do not know the data. If you have that specific body, or when you have a model not listed yet, and you can provide the data, please contact me and I'll update the table as soon as possible.

Data for announced products should be considered preliminary. Exact data often isn't known until after the actual release. You should not rely on data for announced products to be correct.

Great page, I only miss the older Minolta's like XG en XD camera's.

This page is restricted to the A mount system.

Hi Michael,
Thanks very much for keeping up this website of very useful info. I found it through a link on Dyxum, the Minolta Maxxum/Sony site.
This note is not really realted to stuff on this page, but this is where I found the email link, LOL.
I love the charts. I own 2 Minolta MF bodies and 5 film Maxxums. This is a great source of info when planning another purchase. Thanks for including the aftermarket lenses and flashes as well. I like the inclusion of the HTsi and HTsi Plus models. NO, they are not the same model as other sites say. I have the HTsi. and XTsi. Your pictures should be updated, as the HTsi has no silver on it. Qtsi & STsi are all silver, the STsi adding a dial to change settings. HTsi in Black only adds the leatherette panels to the front. The HTsi Plus and the XTsi are in silver with leatherette panels on front. All of these except the XTsi sport a plastic lens mount. XTsi gets metal mount.
I noticed a Maxxum 7 Limited on the list, but the details seem identical to the 7. How is it different?
BTW, around here we don't put an "o" in the word 'curtain'. Where are you from? LOL
Again, I really like the site. I hope you keep it online.
Since I also own Canon EOS film bodies, do you know if anyone has built a similar site for Canon stuff?
Feel free to edit this note before posting it, and if you know of an EOS based site, please email me.
Michael Hohner answers:
I've moved this, as I think it fits better here.

Each row in the camera table represents up to three cameras. There may be cosmetic differences between regional models.

The differences between the 7 and 7 Limited are listed in the comments column. You can also use the comparison function on the page to find differences automatically.

I don't know if something similar exists for Canon EOS.

thank you so much for this page I was confused on were to find all this info and you have it laid out so nice and straight forward here! thanks

Hi Michael,
i have some addition to your table (column Comments):
You already list "plastic lens mount" for Dynax 300si, Dynax 404si, Dynax 500si.

Further models do have a plastic lens mount: Dynax 303si, Maxxum HTsi, Dynax 505si, Dynax 4, Dynax 40.

For the Dynax 3L i have not found any valid information, but i am sure it has a plastic lens mount also.

Any other model listed here has a metal lens mount.

Thanks for your great work!
Michael Hohner answers:
Thanks for the update. The mount material is now a separate column in the above table.

Great ref web page... the problem is that Sony will not sell a body of a camera. I have been attempting to purchase an A230 or A330 to use with system of Minolta AF lenes. I have had no luck with retailers and Sony Style and Parts/Acc department both have not answers.

The question then is, why have interchangable parts when its impossible to complete the item without duplicating lenes and increasing the intial cost of the item?
Michael Hohner answers:
This depends on the market. For example, in Germany and Britain Sony is selling the A230 and A330 also body only. In the U.S. Sony is selling only camera kits of the A230 and A330 with at least one lens (the 18-55).
