About

The Minolta RD-175 (also sold as the Agfa Actioncam) is one of the first digital SLR cameras. When Minolta introduced this camera in 1995 it cost around $10,000 US, and was inaccessible to Minolta's usual base of amateur photographers. It was intended for professional markets (including medical, insurance, and scientific) in which Minolta had made little inroads at the time.
