Spotlight customer reviews:
Summary: Great Learning tool
Comment: I purchased my Minolta X-370s on a whim, and never regretted it. Within its limitations, such as lack of DOF preview and a bit of a noisy shutter release, it's a very reliable and easy to learn camera. The lens it comes with is quite versatile, and allows for close-ups as well as fairly angular shots. Building a system is easy thanks to the affordability of lenses and equipment. In sum, an excellent learning tool you won't outgrow too soon.
Summary: Worth it
Comment: For the begginer and the more advanced this has to be the easiest camera I've used. I have always like the Minolta camera line and this is one of the better one for begginers to SLR.
Editorial reviews:
Konica Minolta X-370s is an ideal choice for photographers who prefer a manual-focus SLR. The bright viewfinder and acute-matte focusing screen ensure optimum picture sharpness. Manual mode, Aperture-priority mode, and AE lock give the user as much or as little control over exposure as desired. A touch-switch sensor engages the metering system with the slightest touch of a finger on the shutter-release button. Another feature of the X-370s is the Safe Load Signal, which tells the user the film is advancing properly and smoothly. Moreover, the shutter-release socket enables the photographers to operate the camera remotely with applicable Minolta accessories. The camera's self-timer function lets the photographer be included in a shot.
