The Minolta X-700 won the title 'European Camera of the Year' in 1981, and it was state-of-the-art before the introduction of auto-focus.

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.1981 European Camera of the year probably the best camera that ever left the Minolta factory, great to use super easy to program.

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 ...

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 what you get the X-700 really is a good value. Negatives of the model, again relative to the other Minoltas: - Shutter curtain is a relatively cheap cloth design allowing only 1/60 sec flash sync (only the XD series offers a better one, though). - Light seals will need to be replaced on most bodies you find on ebay. Not a tough job, and anyone can do it, but you've got to get the material and it takes a few minutes. - Sometimes the capacitors on the camera go bad. You can solder new ones in if you have the skill. - Does not offer metered manual exposure (set the camera to manual and the camera would tell you if you're over or under exposed) If you're buying into the Minolta system, other cameras you might consider are the X-570 (also a TTL camera; adds metered manual; my personal favorite), the XG series (a budget option which is less reliable and has fewer features; avoid the XG-A), the XD-11 or XD-5 (better shutter and build quality, no TTL flash). See my guide on the Minolta system for some more options or see www dot rokkorfiles dot com.

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 ...

I have the ability to repair these cameras and saw an opportunity to get one cheap. When it arrived, it actually just needed a new battery. The shutter on these cameras is dependent on battery power and will not fire if it is not strong enough. Additionally, there is a known issue with capacitors failing which will leave the camera inoperable. They are easily replaced by a person with electronics knowledge. I would recommend that these cameras be obtained as cheaply as possible. They can be sent for an overhaul and cleaning. There are companies out there who will do it for as little as $65.

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 ...

My son loved and has been having fun with. We go out together and do pictures shoots with our cameras. This camera was sought after when it first came out because of all of it special features. I recommend it if you are in to photography or just enjoyed diferent styles of cameras. Also I do recommend that you get a autowinder with this. Otherwise it's a fun camera.

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. ...

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. And when you want to get creative there is full manual control and Aperture Priority automatic exposure. People who had these cameras more than 25 years ago still talk about what great cameras they were. I've bought two of these for under $30. Can't beat that.
