With the camera switched on, the LEDs light with just a touch of the shutter button. So you can easily judge over- or under-exposure. Your chosen shutter speed is indicated in the viewfinder by a flashing LED and the recommended speed from the camera’s meter by a steady LED. I mainly use aperture priority but using manual mode is easy. The X300 also lacks a depth of field preview and a few other bells and whistles but it had everything I needed. The main difference visually is that on the Minolta X300 the shutter dial is covered, with just a window to show the chosen speed, up to 1/1000 sec, or Auto if in aperture priority mode. Both have aperture priority and manual modes. Sometimes the X500 (also called the X570) gets a look in but rarely is the Minolta X300 (or X370) mentioned. Understandably because it was the top of the range, with program mode as well as aperture priority and manual. The X700 is usually recommended from the range of early 1980s Minolta SLR’s.
