In honor of being awarded the Japan Camera Grand Prix award for the −9 camera*, Minolta Co., Ltd. is proud to offer the DYNAX 9Ti /

MAXXUM 9Ti (Titanium model) limited edition camera. One thousand cameras will be produced. This camera possesses all the same award winning features of the DYNAX 9 / MAXXUM 9 model, plus some additional features that will provide even more opportunities to enhance your photographic creativety and enjoyment.

Minolta, for the first time, employs a magnesium alloy for the camera base, and titanium for the upper shell of the SLR camera body to provide a slightweight and strong camera. Wet-type rubber is used to provide a non-slip touch. Other features such as a 100% viewfinder, top continuous drive speed of 5.5 frames per second (4.5 frames per second with autofocus tracking), shutter speeds up to 1/12000 second, and easy-to-operate controls are inherited from the DYNAX 9 / MAXXUM 9 model.
