■Camera Body α8700i
While detailed functions have not been confirmed, setting changes were possible. In reality, I only ever used the program mode.
Intelligent Card recognition is OK. (Card not included)
Overall it is in good condition, but there are scratches on the top of the camera.
The grip has a vertical crack. There is no looseness and it did not affect use. It shows strong signs of use and has a glossy finish. (See photo 18)
The right side of the green display in the viewfinder is partially crushed and difficult to see. (The area where the aperture numbers are displayed)
The date display on the back panel is flashing. (Likely due to depleted button battery)

■Lens MINOLTA AF ZOOM 35-105mm 1:3.5(22)-4.5 Φ55mm
Within the visible range, there appears to be no mold inside the lens.
It moves smoothly. The rubber parts have become slightly whitish.

■Flash PROGRAM 5200i (with case)
The flash also fired with the TEST button. (Charging takes a little time) When attached to the body and pressing the flash button on the body while pressing the shutter button, it fired.
Accuracy in all aspects is unknown, so it would be best to have it checked by a camera specialty store.

An interesting accessory called AB-800 is attached to the bottom.
While it covers the tripod socket, it allows for the attachment of a hand strap, increasing maneuverability.

Batteries are not included to prevent transportation accidents. Please purchase separately.

As this is a valuable limited edition model, it can also be used as a spare for parts for a two-for-one repair.
