The '''Carena DF-300''' is a compact [[SLR]] camera body with a [[Minolta]] MD SR-bayonet mount. It can be used with most of the lenses which are made for [[Minolta]]'s manual focus SLRs. It's a copy of Minolta's [[Minolta X-300|'''X-300''']] which was produced in the same Shanghai General Camera Factory. While the DF-300 seems to be found only in black and chrome models, the Carena SX-300 seems to be the identical camera, only with an all-black body. Detailed specifications can be found on the [[Minolta X-300]] page, since this is essentially the same camera. | The '''Carena DF-300''' is a compact [[SLR]] camera body with a [[Minolta]] MD SR-bayonet mount.

Carena DF-300 image by Kenneth Dwain Harrelson (Image rights) |
The Carena DF-300 is a compact SLR camera body with a Minolta MD SR-bayonet mount. It can be used with most of the lenses which are made for Minolta's manual focus SLRs. It's a copy of Minolta's X-300 which was produced in the same Shanghai General Camera Factory. While the DF-300 seems to be found only in black and chrome models, the Carena SX-300 seems to be the identical camera, only with an all-black body. Detailed specifications can be found on the Minolta X-300 page, since this is essentially the same camera.
