This version of Minolta's Maxxum QTsi comes with 35-80mm and 75-300mm zoom lenses, giving you a wide variety of zoom ranges. This, plus the precise, continuous AF tracking of subjects in motion, lets you capture close-ups of action, even from the nosebleed section of the bleachers. The zoom lenses also let you take intimate portraits of your friends and family members or close-ups of landscapes. The QTsi also comes with preprogrammed portrait, landscape, close-up, sports, and night modes.
A large LCD panel displays exposure mode, cartridge mark, film-transport signals, battery condition, self-timer operation, flash mode, red-eye reduction, wireless/remote flash, manual focus, frame counter, drive mode, and subject-program indicators. The Qtsi's 35-80mm lens gives you a focus range of 15 inches to infinity. The focus and exposure locks are activated by pressing the shutter release button part way. When the lock signal appears in the viewfinder, recompose your shot and press the shutter release button all the way to take the picture. This feature, however, only works with stationary subjects.
