Very well done. Let us know what happens after you have put it through its paces…..

I have both the X700 and the XGM. Both excellent cameras, but the XGM just fits my hands perfectly, so that is my favourite…enjoy whichever you choose.

For me the best Minolta is the XGM. Easy to use, beautifully small and not complicated.

Take it easy guys. Remember this is a beginners forum. Please stop these crazy arguments that do nothing to help.

Okay guys, Several posts have been deleted, not to censor, but in an attempt to prevent the thread from going off track and developing into useless arguments. Where this clearly fails, I have ...

This thread has developed into a personal argument that does nothing to help answer a simple question from the OP. I have deleted the offending posts and will issue bans if it continues.

Thread tidied up. As the OP requested let’s keep this on topic.

Nice shots. The first one is particularly good. Perfect timing…

I used an F4 professionally for a few years, all of it outdoors. It will not stand up to any serious rain. A light shower may be ok, but not really to be recommended. The camera is not weather sealed.

Several,of them posts following have been deleted. A danger of hijacking the thread exists. Stick to the questions asked by the OP.

You are now approved…

Easy guys. Some of you are in danger it hijacking this thread. Please read the op and stick to answering it, otherwise arguments will ensue, doing no one any good.

This is getting ridiculous. Please stick to the OP’s question and stop hijacking threads just to form an argument. I will deal firmly with people who do not conform…

This thread has been hijacked by people not interested in out beginners, but is being used to go through the same old arguments again. Enough is enough. Bans will follow if it continues.
