About this product

Product Information

If you remember when a photograph was something special, or when you got excited when your freshly developed photos came back and you saw them for the first time, then you will love this SLR film camera body. The feeling of actually holding a photo in your hand is something special missing from the Internet. Get ready to recreate and capture these beautiful feelings with the Minolta XG-1 35mm film camera body. A large viewfinder gives you a clear, accurate look at your scene. Intentional ergonomics let you hold the camera comfortably while you press the button. You will notice a difference in the pictures you take and the experience you have when you shoot with this traditional film camera. Minolta cameras and accessories are trusted, reliable products in the photography industry. The XG series was first introduced in 1977 as an affordable SLR option. In 1978, this camera model was released. The Minolta XG-1 is a traditional camera body that shoots directly on film. It gives you complete manual control over your image. You can set the shutter time from 1 second to 1/1000 of a second. You’ll be able to expose for a still-life portrait, a fast-moving athlete, or anything in between.The built-in light metering capabilities will always give you a clear read on how your shot is exposed. In the center-weighted mode, you can aim at specific portions of your frame and measure the exposure value. This is especially important to do when you’re shooting on film. When set to manual operation, the XG1 allows for control over the aperture and shutter speed.While the XG-1 has full manual operations available, it also shoots in autofocus assistance modes. If you need to quickly get a picture taken or don’t feel like fussing with settings, just switch modes for quick shots. You can shoot in aperture priority mode, and the XG-1 will assist you in making all of your exposure choices. Even when set to auto, you have great image control. You can select up to two stops of under- or over-exposure, which means you can really paint with light like a true photographer.This camera accepts interchangeable lenses, so you can always choose the best lens for your shot. You can set manual focus on any lens compatible with Minolta MD lens mounts. Minolta lenses are also sometimes referred to as Rokkor. The XG1 also comes equipped with 1/60 flash sync capabilities, which assist you in taking clear and bright pictures. Its 1/1000 maximum shutter speed also helps you snag action shots with clarity. Additional features include battery-powered operation, exposure compensation, an electronically timed shutter, TTL flash auto exposure, and a self-timer. There are several models of batteries suitable for use with this product. This is a 35mm camera body that weighs less than 18 ounces when a lens isn’t attached.In a day and age where everyone has a camera built into their phone, using a traditional photo camera sets you apart from everyone else. Relive a time when film cameras and beautiful photography was standard. Make your photos look and feel as special as they are with the Minolta X-G1.

    Seller did great, no complaints at all. Device I purchased was well packaged to preclude any damage in shipping. Item was sent expeditiously. Unit was as describe though my interest was in a portion of it - so great that the seller was selling it for parts only as that matched my need. Very reasonably priced so i was happy to make the transaction.

    The item was well packaged and arrived in the same condition as shown on the site. The item did not arrive when expected. It was several days late. Not sure why. The delivery date was not critical in this case so I gave positive feedback. However I suggest being careful about creating an expectation with a buyer that is not met. Sometimes the expected delivery date is important to a buyer. The shipping costs are out of control I do not blame the seller. I recently paid $7.94 to ship a DVD!

    Almost like new....

    The only bad thing I could say about this camera is that it didn't come with a body cap to protect the mirror and interior from dust! It presents very clean. Leather is in tact, fits well, and has virtually no flaws. The only thing I can find that's not original is the neck strap loops, which should be triangular in shape and have a plastic retention clip inside. The hot shoe is functioning, the auto feature is perfect, metering is dead-on, and frame advance is crisp. I can't wait to take it out for some old-school film shooing.

  • Top critical review

    Camera body is beautiful but it doesn't work

    The listing made it seem as though the camera functions but even with new batteries and film the shutter doesn't fire so it cannot take photos. The body of the camera is in beautiful shape. Hopefully I can get it repaired.
