Minolta Riva Zoom 105i
Chunky 35mm zoom point-and-shoot from the 90s with quirky ergonomics.
Key specs:
- 38-105mm zoom lens
- Autofocus
- Built-in flash
- Panorama mode
- DX coding (automatic ISO detection)
The Riva Zoom 105i is... well, it's big. And weirdly shaped. Definitely not slipping into any pockets. The zoom range is decent, but the whole package is bulkier than you'd expect for what it is.
Automatic everything means it's easy to use, even if the handling is a bit quirky. Does the job for travel and everyday snapshots if you don't mind the size and unusual grip.
Budget point-and-shoot with zoom reach - just prepare for the bulk and distinctive 90s design.

Minolta built cameras from 1928 to 2006, earning respect as genuine innovators rather than followers. They pioneered autofocus SLRs with the groundbreaking Maxxum/Dynax 7000 in 1985, revolutionizing photography overnight. Their film cameras combined excellent build quality with clever engineering - the X-700 and SRT series remain hugely popular with film shooters today. Known for outstanding optics (their Rokkor lenses are legendary), reliable bodies, and features that actually mattered to photographers. When Minolta merged with Konica and eventually sold to Sony in 2006, their legacy lived on - Sony's A-mount system is built directly on Minolta's foundation, and those old Minolta AF lenses still work perfectly on modern Sony bodies.
