X-700
Strength:
Light and easy to use; plenty of functions. The used market for this camera, lenses, and accessories is probably the best buyer market in the photo industry.
Weakness:
Selection of new lenses is limited; no mirror lock-up. The only limitatio for this camera is that Minolta doesn't make as many lenses as it used to; a a result, the new market isn't good. If you don't mind buying used equipment, though, this is the best value available anywhere -- I own at least twice the gear I would own for paying the same price for used Nikon or Canon. Customer Service Good, but not as good as Maxxum support Similar Products Used: Also own Minolta X-570, Minolta X-370 |

X-700
Strength:
Tough little full manual SLR. Takes excellent picutures and is great as a beginning and teaching camera.
Weakness:
The features are limited. This is an inexpensive full manual SLR. It supports a wide array of Minolta lenses, and it is inexpensive. It does look humble next to the current gaggle of fully-auto jobs, but for the dollar, it stands up well. Customer Service No need. Similar Products Used: Nikon, Cannon, Pentax. |
