The Minolta STsi features two detachable lenses--a 35-80mm lens and a 70-210mm lens. It offers selectable automatic or manual focus, a built-in pop-up flash with four modes, a self-timer, and eight-segment honeycomb-pattern exposure metering. There are five exposure modes, aside from the traditional auto exposure mode: portrait, landscape, close-up, sports action mode, and night portrait.

In the box, you receive the Minolta Maxxum STsi body, two Minolta lenses and lens caps, an adjustable neck strap, a user's manual, and warranty information. The camera operates on two 3-volt CR2 lithium batteries, which are sold separately.
