The X570 deserves more recognition as it offers fully metered manual mode which the X700 lacks.

Yes I agree, I have all the Minolta X series, from X-370, X-570, and X-700 which I bought in 1985-86, my favorite is X-570 because the metering in manual mode is better than X-700. However, I used the X-700 as well in manual mode or Aperture mode , very rare in Program mode.

@gavinjenkins899

2 ай бұрын

X700 most definitely does not lack metered manual mode... The only thing the 570 gains is that it shows you what shutter speed you have selected in the viewfinder (which is not the same thing as "not metering"--both of them show you what shutter speed you SHOULD have, which is the metering part). In exchange, it loses both exposure compensation and P mode, which is way way more impressive than "literally just linking the shutter dial to some LEDs 1:1"

My first camera was an X-700. I leaned photography with that camera. It was a solid camera. I used it in my early photojournalism days. I moved to Nikon only when the meter started to drift and all my shots were hot. I just used exposure compensation to correct it or stopped up either aperture or shutter. Regardless, I bought it in 1986 and passed over the Maxuum. Glad I did because the X-700 is a classic. No one talks about the Maxuum line.

Have my Mum's X700 with 35 - 70 zoom, I love this camera. It had an unused film loaded in it so I went out and took some shots and I was amazed how good they are. Always switch off when not shooting as batteries can drain.

This format is really working. Great video. I reckon you should explore some of the old folding, roll film cameras from the 1920s-1950s. There’s a lot of lost beauty in them, they take photos with a “classic” look suited to their age, and can sometimes be found dirt cheap in working order. The same can be said of some Baldax and Agfa fixed lens rangefinders out there (Balda Super Baldina and Agfa Super Silette, which are only a few dollars).

I love your camera memory lane thing, but a few details: The X-700 wasn't the last camera produced for their SR mount before the release of the Alpha/Maxxum/Dynax AF cameras, that title actually goes to Minolta X-9 and before that Minolta released the X-500/X-570 and the X-300/X-370 as well as later updates as the X-300s and X-300n. I think Minolta also released the XG-M (X-70 in Japan) slightly after the X-700. The X-500/X570 actually have a feature that is much appreciated; it's not only fully metered during manual mode photography but it also displays the set shutter speed in the viewfinder so in essence you got match-LED fully metered photography with the advanced flash metering system.

Oh, I got an idea for cameras to review; pick one of the camera maker Chinon, an early CX or CS or why not a later CE-4 or CE-5? The early should have a little of cult status as they feature modern vertical metal shutters and are not battery dependent for operation except for metering and besides using M42 mount you can find some really interesting lenses from Meyer-Optik Görlitz or others with special character to use or the fact that Chinon bought their lenses from independent lens manufacturers with cult status on their own like Kino Precision Industries (Kiron in the US) or Komine and secondly they have a very American connection few seem to know; Kodak aquired a majority stake of Chinon shares in 1997 so most of the advanced Kodak cameras since was actually made by Chinon.

Nice review. I have and use this camera too. In fact I have a few minolta cameras...... Ok, that's a Lie. I have , many, many, many, many, Minolta cameras and accessories and even more Lenses for them. There's a few things that I wish you had mentioned if not covered in your review with this camera. Such as the common problems with this camera that often makes them sell for pennies on the dollar. These can be fixed really easily. I have three copies of the x700 camera that I picked up on eBay all for less than $50. One of them I got for $20 that was not firing. And one that I picked up for about $35 with a few lenses and flashes ended up not working after a couple of months of use. Both those two cameras I mentioned had a capacitor failure problem. It's an issue that's well-documented all over the Minolta message boards and websites that are dedicated to classics or Minolta cameras. It's easily fixed if somebody knows how to solder. I don't see too many of these deals on eBay anymore for the less than $50, like I used to see about six or seven years ago, but they do come up. When that happens, you can get them for really cheap and fix them yourself for just a few dollars. However it is also means that you must make sure that a Minolta MD camera works, if you're buying one off of eBay or some other website, before you pay more than $75 for it. It's something that seems to happen often and if the seller says he has no battery to test the camera with then you should assume the capacitor is dead or needs replaced really soon (because that's often the case) and spend accordingly. Also the x700 has a hack that can be done to modify the light meter, though I can understand if that may be too complicated to cover in a review

@AzrielKnight

No they can’t. They are rarer and more expensive. The two supposed advantages of the 500 is slow flash sync speed and set speed displayed in viewfinder. I find them a very poor trade off for lack of P. If you set the speed manually you usually remember, or glance before you take the camera to your eye. If it’s really important to you, the X-300 has the same feature. It’s very common and cheap. The slow flash sync is easily done with a manual flash.

When I bought my first 35 mm SLR camera in about 1980, after looking at loads of cameras, my final choice was between a Canon AV-1 and an Olympus OM10. I bought the Canon, because I preferred the way it felt in my hands over the Olympus. I still have the Canon, which still works, still looks immaculate, and still feels nice to use.

These cameras have notorious capacitor failure problems. If you get to test it, it may have a stuck film advance and the meter may read until you press the shutter release. If it does this, you need to replace 1 or 2 capacitors. The one on the bottom is easy while the one on top requires special or homemade tools. Often it is only the bottom capacitor and the fix is easy. If these capacitors have not been replaced, expect failure in the near future.

I think I know where the confusion is. Regarding the Manual cameras produ ed by Minolta, the x700 was the last one produced. However the last one created by Minolta was the X9, which was a few models after the x700 was created. All those models that were created after the x700 had ceased production well before the x700 ceased production. So I think that's where the confusion is. In short, the x700 was the last one produced however it was not the last one created.
