Unreliable electronics that keep breaking down. After 3 breakdowns at times when crucial shots were missed this camera met an old friend from my toolbox. Yes you guessed it, my biggest hammer. That was my most satisfying moment of owning this camera. I really miss my X700!

Excellent in manual setting, ideal for black & white ilford films.
Compact and strong body. I recommend the Minolta Dynax 500si super camera to everyone.

This is my second slr and I love it. The functions are really easy to set and I love the fact that it has an automatic setting for point and shoot. Would definately recommend.

I have used the Minolta Dynax 500si Super 35mm SLR camera as a novice but as I have turned professional the camera has really shown its shortcomings. The most apparent is its inability to focus fast and in poor lighting situations. I also have a Nikon F90X and it really gives the Minolta a run for i ...

My wife's had this Minolta Dynax 500si Super 35mm camera for three years. All I can say is that she must have bought the one that works, because just about everybody else on this site and at camerareview.com complains about this model's reliability, and she's had three years of sterling service from ...

A good camera for beginer in photography but lacking in features and robustness for serious amateurs. ...
