Hi,

I live in Korea and I wonder what is the difference between the 2 version of X-700 by Minolta Japan and by Samsung Korea ? what is the advantage and disadvantage when comparing them and which one should I buy ? The Japan version is a litle more expensive (~20$).

If you have any experience on them, please share with me. Thank you very much.

Minolta X-700 MPS Japan version

Minolta X-700 MPS Samsung version

I heard that the samsung model uses the electrolytic condenser because of reduction of price and the MPS uses the tantal condenser. And the lower hull material is different as far as I know. The result is it is not that very different. Btw, I haven't seen that samsung mark before.
