Description:

Minolta packed everything they could muster into the X-700. It’s sporting all the usual accoutrements; TTL metering, depth of field preview, exposure compensation dial, self-timer, exposure lock, film safe-load indicator, frame counter, film memo holder, hot shoe, PC socket, remote shutter release ports (mechanical and electronic), and the list goes on and on.

Most importantly, the X-700 is capable of three shooting modes for maximum usability. In full manual mode, the photographer sets the shutter speed and aperture to make a proper exposure. Shooters with long experience will love this, as it allows maximum creativity and full implementation of the photographer’s vision. The shutter speed selector dial is well-placed, and the edge knurling makes it exceptionally easy to adjust.

Aperture Priority auto-exposure works as would be expected. Set the aperture to control depth of field, compose your shot, and shoot. The X-700 automatically sets the shutter speed in step-less increments to achieve a perfect exposure. As with all Minolta cameras, the metering is flawless in even the most challenging of lighting situations.

But the star of the show is certainly the pre-mentioned MPS (Minolta Program System). This is the bread and butter of the X-700’s spec-sheet. Minolta’s Program auto-exposure was, and is, a marvel. With its exceptional light-metering system, intelligent microcomputers, and step-less shutter speeds, shooting in Program mode is about as effortless and effective as with any camera of any era. The MPS is capable of using shutter speeds of finer increments than can be selected manually. Point and shoot, and you’ll be guaranteed to make perfect exposures every time. The MPS makes the X-700 one of the best point-and-shoot cameras in the world. It’s as simple as that.
