    Last Manual Minolta

    The X-700 was the last and best of the all mechanical Minolta's. Its main shortcoming was poor low light performance. In addition, it is entirely dependent on battery power, with out one even then shutter will not fire. The good news is that the batteries (Eveready EPX-675) are inexpensive and readily available. Other than that this an excellent camera for anyone who wishes to get into film photography.

  • Pros and Cons of the Minolta X-700

    The Minolta X-700 was Minolta's most technologically advanced manual focus camera ever produced. Debuted in 1981, it introduced the "Program" mode to SLR cameras and offered through-the-lens (TTL) flash metering, greatly simplifying the photographic process for millions of people. However, the model does have some drawbacks in its design. Positives of the model, relative to the other Minolta models out there: - TTL flash metering. This allows automatic and more precise output of flash no matter whether the flash is direct or bounced. - The program mode is a benefit to some. I personally never use it. - Metering is fairly accurate. - Ergonomically better than the older straight rectangular body designs. - Generally a reliable camera. - The price is right - for ...

  • Great camera for the beginner, good workhorse for a pro.

    This camera was reported to be one of the top-of-the-line available from Minolta in the '80s. I would have to agree. I own other Minolta models and this one takes it to the next level. This is not a full-on professional camera, but the photographic results are comparable since the optics are of top quality. This is a great camera for someone who is a novice and even pros might like its ease of use. It can be used with automatic settings as well as being fully manual. I personally do not like the automatic settings as I am an artistic person. The preview button helps to ensure the novice gets an excellent result every time. This camera can utilize a wide range of Minolta compatible lenses and is great fun to shoot with. I bought my X-700 because it was priced low and reported ...

  • Nice camera with a lot of features

    I have been taking photography classes and wanted an old camera to learn the different techniques. So I found a minolta x-700 that had all all of the accessories while we were on vacation. My son liked it alot and wanted one too. Since his birthday was coming up I wanted to find one for him. So I started looking for one on e-bay, bidding on some. I found out that there was a lot of other people wanting the same camera and they were willing to pay any price to get what they wanted. I knew what I wanted to pay for this camera and I found this one which no one was bidding on it because it didn't have accessories to it. I figured my son could use my extras to my camera or I could look for the accessories later on e-bay. Also the camera was in good condition. So I got what I wanted, at the ...

  • Great shooter in a compact package

    I just had to have one of these since back in the early 80s, as a new college graduate I was unable to afford this higher level Minolta or the Minolta telephoto and wide angle lenses I really wanted for it ( I had to settle for a Vivitar Zoom and Minolta Celtic wide angle lens). Today they are very affordable. Now here's what's great about this camera: It's very lightweight, compact and very handsome too. Minolta made a huge range of accessories for its cameras and for some bizzare reason, Minolta cameras and accessories cost far less than other leading brands on ebay. They take phenomenal pictures and are really a bargain. While you still have to focus, if you put this in the Program mode this is as close as you can come to having a point and shoot that takes razor sharp pictures. ...
