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.
