sentences:  This camera had the usual Program AE, Shutter priority AE, Aperture priority AE and metered manual exposure modes (standard on the 7000), TTL autoflash (like the Minolta 7000) and added a newer faster and more sensitive AF system, faster shutter speed (1/4000s), faster film advance (3 frame/s), new flash hot-shoe that was incompatible with the older flash system.The 7000i supported the Minolta AF lens system, and other accessories such as the remote cords.Perhaps more innovative than any other improvement was the expansion card system.
