The Minolta Hi-Matic S series consisted of four similar compact cameras from konica Minolta. They were the first Minolta compacts to include built-in flash, and they utilized zone focus. Unlike earlier Hi-matics, the S series used standard AA batteries to power the exposure meter and pop-up flash. The series began in 1978, but was regarded as obsolete a few years later when the Hi-Matic AF integrated autofocus into a body of the same size.
Below is a Minolta Hi-Matic S inspired product design model done with the help of Solidworks. It took me several hours to model it, and i think it’s worth spending.
