Your Minolta X-370 is an easy-to-use microcomputerized single-lens-reflex (SLR) camera with quartz control of mechanical sequences and shutter speed, providing lasting accuracy and years of enjoyment. In its aperture-priority auto-exposure (AE) mode, the X-370 automatically sets the precise shutter speed for correct exposure according to the in-camera meter at the aperture you selected.

Advantages Inexpensive, many lenses to choose from Disadvantages Not autofocus
...I have used a MinoltaX-370 for over a year. It takes excellent pictures and the lenses are compatible with the MinoltaX-700.
It has automatic shutter speed and aperture. The lens is manual focus.
It uses an external flash like the Minolta PX260 which syncros at 1/60 of a second. The camera can have a manual shutter speed of 1 second to 1/1000 of a second.
This is a great camera that can be purchased used for less than $100.
It is quite durable and will give you many good pictures.
It uses standard 35mm film and will fit on a standard tripod. An optional winder can be used to take pictures of sporting events.
I recommend this product....

The Cannons body was plastic and very light weight. I didn’t want to spend money on something that felt like a dime store camera. The MinoltaX-370 had all the options I wanted but only came as body only, no lenses. In the end it would have cost a lot more to complete the set. Finally I looked into the Nikon FM10. I found a strong body, fully functional manual camera that came with a 35-70 somewhat of a zoom lenses.
The Nikons body, I will admit has both good points and bad points. The top and bottom are made of plastic. To the touch it feels cheap. The middle area is made of a more solid case with a rubber coating on the back and side for easy grip and less slip. The lenses that came...
