Minolta X-700 35mm SLR Camera

The Minolta X-700 SLR camera requires no manual setting of aperture or shutter. You can program the camera for automatic exposure, even in difficult lighting conditions. Catch the action without stopping to adjust your camera. You can also select an aperture priority mode that automatically sets the corresponding shutter speed when you program the aperture. Aperture priority is especially useful when taking portraits, close-ups, and landscape shots.

For creative effects, you can set exposure plus or minus 2EV in half-stop increments. An auto-exposure lock is useful when the subject is in the shade with strong backlighting. Manual exposure and manual focus give you full control of the X-700 when you have to time to think about each shot in advance

Minolta X-370S 35mm SLR Camera

The Minolta X-370S incorporates several high-performance features for ultimate creative control. Automatic exposure control provides accurate exposures under a wide variety of lighting conditions. This camera has TTL center-weighted average metering, a reliable system used by both professionals and beginners. It reads the entire image frame with greater emphasis on the central object.

By pressing an AE lock button, you can lock the exposure reading on the main subject. The image can be recomposed with the subject anywhere in the frame. This is suggested if the subject is strongly backlit or off-center. The Minolta X-370S also offers manual exposure control, giving you full control over aperture and shutter speed combinations. This, coupled with manual focus, makes the X-370S an optimal camera for flexibility.
