Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Learning tool, February 11, 2002

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.

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.
