I've seen pictures of both of these cameras, the Minolta X-370s and the Minolta X-370n and there are some subtle differences.  Whereas the Minolta X-370 and Minolta X-370s look exactly like the Minolta X-300.  Are they different cameras or just different marketing names for different parts of the world?  Someone I know got a Minolta X-370 (2 actually) and was curious.  Kenny  [[User:HaarFager|HaarFager]] ([[User talk:HaarFager|talk]]) 18:07, 15 August 2016 (CDT)

::One of the main differences between the Minolta X-370, (et. al) and the Minolta X-370n is that body shape is different.  There is a bigger handgrip that goes up higher on the X-370n than all the others and the top of the camera is round lines instead of the sharp, straight build of the X-370 and others.  But I have seen variations of the X-370s where it's shaped like the X-370 and has the model name to the left of the lens and a variation of the X-370s where it's shaped like the X-370n and has the model name to the right of the lens.  This is so confusing to try and find out the facts of which camera is which and if they're the exact same model or just totally different looking with the same features and functions.  I'm going to get to the bottom of this, if I can.  Kenny  [[User:HaarFager|HaarFager]] ([[User talk:HaarFager|talk]]) 09:19, 16 August 2016 (CDT)

::I think the [[Minolta X-300s]] and the Minolta X-370N are the same camera and are distinctly different from the [[Minolta X-300]], [[Minolta X-370]] and the [[Minolta X-370s]].  Kenny  [[User:HaarFager|HaarFager]] ([[User talk:HaarFager|talk]]) 10:47, 16 August 2016 (CDT)

Moved to discussion

Reworked

I have the intention to transfer a good part of this page to the Help:Contents page, that is currently very unhelpful. I think that the purpose of the Community Portal should be to group the discussions and community projects, not to give an index of the howtos. Any objection? --Rebollo fr 18:53, 24 August 2006 (EDT)

Finally I added the links to the Help page but did not removed them from this one. I rearranged it a bit though. --Rebollo fr 16:31, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

Category Name

On the Minolta X-300 page, one of the categories at the bottom is called "Minolta SR mount." But in the article, the camera is listed as having an "MD Mount." And Minoltas do sport MD mounts from this era, I know because I have several and can verify this. Shouldn't the category name be changed to "Minolta MD Mount?" Kenny HaarFager (talk) 05:39, 13 August 2016 (CDT)

Or at least, shouldn't "Minolta MD Mount" also be added as a category? Kenny HaarFager (talk) 08:26, 16 August 2016 (CDT)

Minolta X-370s -vs- Minolta X-370n

I've seen pictures of both of these cameras, the Minolta X-370s and the Minolta X-370n and there are some subtle differences. Whereas the Minolta X-370 and Minolta X-370s look exactly like the Minolta X-300. Are they different cameras or just different marketing names for different parts of the world? Someone I know got a Minolta X-370 (2 actually) and was curious. Kenny HaarFager (talk) 18:07, 15 August 2016 (CDT)

I noticed that the page which used to be here on Camera-wiki.org for the Minolta X-370n was redirected to Minolta X-370s. And that got me to wondering as well if they are the exact same camera or different. Kenny HaarFager (talk) 18:09, 15 August 2016 (CDT)
I think the Minolta X-300s and the Minolta X-370N are the same camera and are distinctly different from the Minolta X-300, Minolta X-370 and the Minolta X-370s. Kenny HaarFager (talk) 10:47, 16 August 2016 (CDT)
