Minolta Vectis 200

The Minolta Vectis 200 is an autofocus point-and-shoot camera for the Advanced Photo System (APS) format. It belongs to Minolta's wider Vectis family of APS cameras. The body is plastic, in champagne or silver depending on the listing. The lens is a built-in Minolta aspherical 25-50mm zoom, a compact two-to-one range meant to cover portraits and landscapes. The "IX Date" in the model name signals the date-imprinting function. The camera also has motorized film advance and rewind and a built-in flash. Dimensions are documented at 104 × 65 × 44 mm.

The record on this model is thin. No production years or formal release date have surfaced. Detailed specifications are not documented in any source found: shutter speeds, ISO range, battery type, autofocus system details and flash range are all missing. One single-source reference puts the average retail price at around $200 at initial release. Period reviews are absent from the record, though the camera is described in passing as user-friendly and simple to operate.
