The X-370 is one of Minolta's most modern manual focus camera bodies, and is the cheaper contemporary of the X-700 and X-570. Most notably, it looses the TTL flash capabilities and depth of field preview of those two cameras. Other than that, all three cameras are reliable with an electronically controlled shutter, aperture priority metering, and take commonly available LR44 button cell batteries. The X-370 is a good camera for beginners, for folks on a budget, and for more experienced folks who know they don't want the additional features of the other Minolta cameras out there. If you want more information about Minolta cameras and lenses, see the guide I wrote here on ebay.
This is an easy to use film camera, nothing fancy but you can get it in an excellent price. Using the classic Minolta lenses you go to get amazing photos. Highly recommended.

This camera is a good performer. It has what you need and nothing you don't. The only drawback is the capacitors go in them and then they are done. If you can fix it yourself your back in business, if you can't it's better to just buy another camera. Over all a good starter camera.

At first I thought I bought a dud but after looking up a simple fix and adding new batteries I got a new camera setup for around $20 not a bad deal

Bought this as an experiment. I'm not a great photographer but do like messing about with film. This is reasonably easy to use (do read the manual though). The best thing about it was that the pictures produced were amazing and, as I said, I'm not a great photographer. The film is a little tricky to load and you do have to set the exposure yourself but once you get the hang of it, you get some great results. Is very heavy so it is a little cumbersome to carry around but the weight seems to add to the experience of using it. You feel like you are holding 'a proper camera'.
