“Minolta Dynax 9 - Whilst they are still available- get...”
Written on: 19/06/2011
What a camera this is. Always wanted one, but could never afford one when brand new. Had to settle for the Minolta 800si; 9000(2nd hand) 600si; then the Dynax 7. I do not know why Minolta never caught on in the UK. They were at the front of technology development. I finally got the Dynax 9 in the last few weeks. Second hand, but well looked after. I did not even have to look at the manual supplied with it, in order to work out how to use it. Just look at the top plate and you can see… Read Full Review

The Minolta Maxxum 9 is the strongest camera ever build and exposes 100% in variable conditions.
Take it to extreme heat or cold and it will leave all others behind still today.
January 2008 no doubt!…

Written on: 19/01/2002 by Nick Carroll. (1 review written)
As a working pro, the choice to go Minolta was not an easy one. The F5 and EOS1NRS had me tempted for a long while, and it took me to actually road-test a Maxxum 9 to make up my mind. I use the 9 every day, and I can honestly say that it has never failed me.
I will say though that to get the best out of this camera you will need to use Minolta 'G' lenses. If you simply can't afford to go 'G', try one of the new 'EX' pro range from Sigma. If you only buy one camera in your life, make it this…

I found this review very helpful because.I went straight out and purchased a dynax 9 on ebay complete with battery grip for £340.00 its been a gem for the time i've had it.

wonderful and colid camera; mine did drop a couple of times from at least a meter height and no damage was apparent; now after 20 years, the shutter is acting up and some frames are blank; is this repairable? I love my 9000 and want to keep using it.

The Maxxum 9 has a true 100% veiw finder that very few other pro cameras have. Even though they claim to, only the Maxxum 9 has tested to be a 100%. It also has very good materials in its construction. Things like a stainless steel shell, and carbon-fiber shutter blades which gives it one of the fastest shutter at 1/10,000 of a second!!! Minolta after all was the first to develope and pioneer the auto-focus camera. It needs to be looked at when buying a camera.

Hi Neil.
The 9 performs well in all but the dimmest conditions, but even these can be tackled with a decent f/2.8 lens. The focus motor is strong and fast, and the assist lamp has saved me several times. I once had to shoot a corporate conference in almost total darkness, and the 9 managed to nail every frame.
When shooting sports I select one of the three focus areas, rather then using them all at once. These areas are marked very clearly in the bright viewfinder. Occasionally when there is a burst of action the focus will hunt, but I put this down to my hands shaking from the adrenalin rush, and not a camera failure!
I hope this was helpful. Let me know if you need any more info.

Written on: 20/11/2001 by J.D.. (1 review written)
I don't have anything to compare it to as the last SLR camera I bought was the minolta 9000 , it was and is still a good camera , But things have really changed . I have read many reviews on many cameras and they never talk about operation only the fact that their purchase was the best . I suspect that whatever you buy today and don't drop will work for everybody if it is in this price range , give or take a few hundred dollars for ego . Being able to select mode and meter settings quickly is a… Read Full Review
