Minolta's early-2000s 35mm zoom compact — 37.5-115mm f/5.4-10.9 lens, DX 25-3200, sold as Freedom Zoom 115 in the US.
The Minolta Riva Zoom 115 is an autofocus 35mm zoom compact from the early 2000s, the European name for the camera sold in North America as the Freedom Zoom 115. It is a different camera from the earlier Riva Zoom 115EX (Freedom Zoom Supreme), sitting in the last generation of Minolta's long-running Riva point-and-shoot family.
The lens is a 37.5-115mm 3x zoom of six elements in six groups with a maximum aperture range of f/5.4-10.9, focusing down to 0.6m at wide angle and 0.55m at telephoto. Shutter speeds span 10s to 1/390s, film speed sets automatically from DX codes across ISO 25-3200, and film advance and rewind are motorised with a quiet rewind mode. A built-in flash and self-timer are included, power comes from a single CR123A lithium cell, and the body measures 112x60x39mm at about 205g; a date version was offered.
This is a straightforward late-era travel zoom: small, light and entirely automatic, suited to beginners and anyone wanting a pocketable one-battery holiday camera. The slow aperture at the long end is typical of the class, so it leans on flash indoors and fast film in dim light.
Like all electronic zoom compacts it is completely battery-dependent — with a fresh CR123A confirm power-up, smooth zoom travel across the full range, AF lock and flash charge. Check the film door and light seals, run an advance/rewind cycle, and test the date back where fitted. CR123A cells remain easy to buy, which keeps these simple to run.
