Re: Minolta X-700 Japan and Korea version

I've not seen this "3 star" Samsung variant before. But I suspect that the camera itself is not different in any meaningful way from those made in Japan. Production of this camera at some later life-span point moved from Japan to China... and there many people have assumed that the quality of the X-700 from China was less than the earlier ones from Japan. No idea if there is any factual basis for that.

The Rokkor Files section on the X-700 makes no mention of production countries. But you'll find a detailed review of features/capabilities that you can compare to the Samsung model.
