Minolta's advanced manual-focus SLR — multi-mode exposure with TTL flash and MD mount.

The Minolta X-500 was released in April 1983 as a 35mm SLR for Minolta MD/SR-mount (marketed as the X-570 in North America), providing aperture-priority and manual exposure. No program mode. Shutter speeds Bulb and 4s to 1/1000. At approximately 490g (X-500) / 480g (X-570). Two SR44 or LR44 button batteries.

35mm SLR, Minolta MD/SR mount. Exposure modes: Aperture-priority (A) and Manual (M) — no Program mode. Shutter: Bulb, 4s to 1/1000. 95% viewfinder coverage; split rangefinder + microprism focus screen with direct aperture readout window. Two SR44 (or LR44/357) batteries. Approximately 490g (X-500 EU) / 480g (X-570 North America). 35mm film format.

The X-500 is the European designation for the X-570 sold in North America — the same camera. It positions as Minolta's intermediate manual-capable SLR: aperture-priority provides automatic operation while manual provides full control; the absence of program mode is consistent with the intended semi-serious user. The direct aperture readout window in the viewfinder top shows the aperture set on the lens without looking away from the scene.

On the used market the Minolta X-500/X-570 is affordable as a vintage Minolta MD/SR-mount film SLR. Condition checks: aperture-priority accuracy, shutter curtain for pinholes, mirror/shutter foam condition, SR44/LR44 battery function. Compatible with all Minolta MD/SR-mount lenses.
