One of those links was for a 600si Classic, the other for a "regular" 600si. Neither was for the 650si - which is the model with the databack. I don't know what's different between those 2 versions of the 600si.
Auto Minolta for my wife.....

Might have missed, I have classic which has dial to change the mode, M, S, P, P and another that changes exposure compensation, the classic does not use the feature cards like the 7si or 9si. Looked for manual online, found the classic but not the standard so don't really know.
Same camera, called the classic in Europe from Camerapeida

Dynax 600si Classic (front)
image by Paul Clayton (Image rights)
This particular Minolta 35mm film AF SLR camera was identified as a Dynax 600si Classic in Europe, Maxxum 600si in North America. For brevity in this article, it will simply be referred to as the 600si. Released in 1995, the 600si quickly assumed cult status. Instead of push buttons and menus that had become the norm for this kind of camera, the 600si was equipped with knobs and dials. It became known as the AF camera for people who liked older style SLR's. A vertical control grip was also available.
The electronic controlled shutter is vertical travelling with speeds from 30s to 1/4000 sec, plus bulb mode and a flash sync of 1/200 of a sec. The metering is a TTL based system using a 14 segment silicon photo cell. It has a sensitivity of 0 to 20 EV and in spot mode 3 to 20 EV (ISO 100, 50mm f/1,4. Metering is based on using DX encoded film, which can also be manually set from 6 to 6400 ISO in 1/3 inc. The exposure modes include, program, aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual exposure.
The viewfinder has a diopter adjustment with a range of -2.5 to 0.5. The film transport has a motorized drive with film automatically advancing after exposure. Drive modes includes single frame, continuous for up to 2 fps, and self-timer. The built-in flash has a GN of 12. The camera is powered by two 2CR5 batteries.
A version with a panorama feature (that masked the film plane from 36x24mm or 1.5:1 aspect ratio to 36x12mm or 3:1 aspect ratio) and a quartz date back, was released as the Dynax 650si / Maxxum 650si and the Alpha 507si in Japan.

I truly meant no insult to your wife, I have been a member of this forum for more than ten years and have never knowingly insulted anyone.Good Grief, i AM sorry.
I realize you were joking. My post in response to yours was done Completely In Jest.
I know you are a better person than to actually say something like that.
My wife is probably not even worth a Point and Shoot.....
My 650si uses just one 2CR5. Pretty sure the 600si is the same. Not enough room in the grip for 2 of those lithium batteries.
Please.....I NEVER thought that...forgive me.
I kind of have a Monty Python sense of humor.....very dry. I should have used the smiley face.
I am sure we do not have Any Members that are such an A-Hole that they would insult a guys wife at the drop of a hat.
I apologize to You and The Forum for causing this confusion.
I sent you a PM as well.
Thank You

Stan @benjiboy and Ollie @CMoore you guys make the forums so much more bearable and alive. Good on you both - for the great contributions to photography!
And the wife - who, of all the members of apug, is obviously the best sport ....
And the camera, which is now the most celebrated and instantly inflated film camera of the season. Any wife would absolutely deserve and desire such a thoughtful and desirable gift.

Yeah mine only takes 1, the grip for the 800si take 4 AA, not set up for CR5s. Camerapeida is hit or miss.
My 800si takes the 2cr5 lithium. With the grip it would use AAs.
I only use AA in my 800, the built in flash is the most powerful on a film SLR, drains the 2cr5 in short order.
