Congratulations, IMHO the X-500/570 is the best manual focus Minolta ever produced.

I am not familiar with the other models but based on what I read on the internet, I chose the X570 over the X700 (actually based on the link you provided below).

I am very happy with the results thus far. Sadly, I am not able to scan my own negatives yet (I just ordered a scanner), but hopefully by the end of the week.

Here are some (poor jpg quality though):

Cheers,

Also the TTL-flash functionality is very nice.

A quite nice review can be seen here: http://www.rokkorfiles.com/X-570.htm

Excellent link!

Actually I own one since the early 1980's when it was introduced. Meanwhile I have some spare copies as well.
