Minolta Dynax 700si
The Minolta Dynax 700si is a 35mm autofocus single-lens reflex camera, sold under the Dynax name in Europe (and as the Maxxum 700si in North America, Alpha 700si in Japan). It was introduced in the mid-1990s as a mid-to-upper tier body in Minolta's autofocus SLR line, slotting below the flagship 9xi/700si-era professional models and aimed at advanced enthusiasts.
UK auction hammer prices for the Dynax 700si are modest today, with a recent saleroom result of around £37 for a working body in 2021 — a wholesale level that reflects limited collector demand for mid-1990s autofocus film bodies. An older 1998 hammer of £402 shows how far values have fallen from when the model was still a recent used purchase, and in 2026 buyers should expect the camera to sell for well under £100 unless paired with desirable AF lenses.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Minolta Dynax 700si worth today?
Based on UK auction hammer evidence, a Dynax 700si body is worth around £40 in working condition, with little price movement expected at the lower end of the film SLR market.
How much does a Minolta Dynax 700si sell for at UK auction?
Recent saleroom data is thin, but a 2021 hammer result came in at £37; clean, fully tested examples with a lens can sell for somewhat more, while non-working bodies trade for parts money.
Is the Dynax 700si a good buy at this price?
At current values it is an inexpensive entry into the Minolta A-mount system, and the same lenses fit Sony Alpha DSLRs, which can add practical value beyond the body itself.
