Minolta RD-175 (original) (raw)

The Minolta RD-175 was an early digital SLR, introduced in 1995. Minolta combined an existing SLR with a three way splitter and three separate CCD image sensors, giving 1.75 megapixel (MP) resolution. The base of the DSLR was the Minolta Maxxum 500si Super (the Dynax 500si Super in Europe and as Alpha 303si Super in Asia). Agfa produced a version of the RD-175 retailed as the Agfa ActionCam. The RD-175 was also notable as the first consumer digital camera to be used professionally, being used to create the full-motion claymation adventure video game The Neverhood.
