They are not reliable! Period. They are crap as Minolta or even worser as Leica R4. Bad advice. X-700 is OK.

It shares most of its internals (basically everything minus the metering) with Leicas r4 through r7 - although sadly, the lenses are not interchangeable.

I completely agree this camera is *really* underrated! I found mine at a thrift store for next to nothing about ten years ago and have been using it extensively ever since. It is just such a pleasure to operate and more or less killed any desire I had for a Leica. Not exactly a fair comparison I know, but still...

Had one but it broke pretty soon and was beyond fixable (manual mode was the only thing working in it) so I got me Olympus OM2n and I am really happy with this little Zuiko miracle with astonishing viewfinder and absolutely outclassing off the film metering system. But considering these Minoltas arent that expensive I should get the Minolta XD7 again as well... if not for anything, but that buttery smooth winder button

Recently picked up a Minolta XD , all Black with a 50mm 1.2 f lens , Bought Minolta XD for $39

In my opinion, speaking for the SR Mount (aka MC or MD Lens Compatible) Minolta Lineup, the best Camera is the SR-1s. Why? It's a true Analog Camera from the Old Era that actually requires real skill. There's no batteries, no electronics, no assistance for settings, so the quality of the photos are dependent on the Photographer having everything set up prior to the capturing of the photo. Also solidly built. No worries about Capacitors being bad, no worrying about finding any discontinued batteries or overspending on these different batteries, and overall there's just no electronics to worry about keeping dry. The more computers a camera has, the more detached it is from the user. I will give the XD-11 here the rank of Second Best. I don't care what any of y'all say, 100% Mechanical will always be Superior to any Electronically Assisted Cameras from the SR Mount Era.

that boy cullen kelly is the goat

Great video!I🤗owned one and I liked it a lot!☺👍!Such a pity that Minolta left the camera industry!😟

Absolutely a underappreciated gem and i hope it stays that way, IMO it uses better electronics than its later cousins and its canon counterpart. You almost never have to worry about the capacitors dying in this thing. I also think it has the best aesthetics of any film camera ever made, the black finish is the same that leica used on their R series of SLR's that were developed in conjunction with Minolta. I believe the Leica R5 and the XD11 use the exact same internals.

Minolta gang 🫶

My first camera was the Minolta XG-M with the 50mm Rokkor lens. It's still one of my favorite cams for casual shooting.

This camera does have a program mode. Set it to shutter priority then 125

Would you recommend fp for cinematic a-roll stuff? I know you'd have to rig it out, but would you recommend it? Thank you in advance

This is so beautiful! Well done mate. What's the song used btw?

dang . . . 46 seconds of my life . . . gone forever . . .

Drive (2011)

Where do you get stills for your google photo collection ?

The title should be: "Proof that I can waste an entire minute of my life."

Great work!

Dude is living in a cinematic trailer.

I Drive (2011)

Flagged. Fake title.

The camera angle and position produces a simple balance of drama and suspense, along with the serene music with appropriate ups and downs.

bro pulling into the Sonic 1080p

Quick question: how did you mount your camera (which obviously is not a light action camera) so securely that it doesn’t shake whatsoever. It’s basically rock solid.. I’ve tried that with my a7iii and 3 suction cups on different axis but it still turned out shaky, even with a wide angle lens… I’m about to give up and buy an osmo action 4 with nd filters to get the rock solid car shots, but maybe you can help😅

"mounting on stuff" = "mounting on car"

"On stuff" meaning specifically this one car.

Vince Gilligan made this video.

And this showed up in my recommendations after I watched Taxi Driver hours ago...

This shot always reminds me of Taxi Driver (1976) and Bullitt (1968) movies

Tbh this is an aspect I like in life action that animation doesn't have

Bro this is great

Taxi driver vibes

The trailer for *DRIVE 2* looks great

Zack Snyder disliked this video

He went Matt Reeves mode🗿

Reminds me of vehicle shots from The Batman (2022).

what a twist! Can anyone explain the ending?

Did this once for a film project, literally duct taped my camera to the passenger seat and just drove around at night. Still one of my favorite things I've recorded.

Alternative soundtrack: There's something inside you It's hard to explain

That one shot where the light almost gets too bright to look at but then gently fades again shows us the birth of the universe.

the nighttime setting and the wet surfaces are also doing some heavy lifting tho

this is some resident evil type of shit

new gta 6 trailer dropped! 😄

Man the footage looks so sharp and the colours are so nice.

It'd be cool except you mounted it on a car. Which is one of the most basic things you could mount a camera to.

There's a video somewhere on youtube where a guy is driving around in his car at night talking about life and depression, he has the camera mounted to the hood looking in on him and a microphone inside the cab. It really brings a different feel to the video, I'd recommend it but I have forgotten the name
