  • Minolta's Best Film Camera

    1981 European Camera of the year probably the best camera that ever left the Minolta factory, great to use super easy to program. One of the best view finders to actually use for it's brightness. With the X700 attached to the motor drive gives awesome wind on speed adapted to the Landscape and Portrait shutter buttons makes it a breeze to use. It's only minus is that it can get heavy if constantly used for long periods and all the other camera's seem to get covered in dust from non use.

  • 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.

  • Great camera!

    If you're looking for ease of use, just enough electronics to give you great pictures without getting complicated. This camera is for you! Wonderful rokkor glass that's affordable and sharp. There was a reason why Leica worked with Minolta to design the CL.

  • Very disappointed

    The bag and all contents are water damaged and moldy. I was unable to use the camera, as the battery compartment cover was rusted/melted to the camera and could not be removed. Returning for a full refund.
