Hello Dennis,

I appreciate the work you're doing on the Minolta XG series. I do have a few questions about sections of text you removed.

The XG-1 has a metal body that feels light when compared to a body of the sr-T series. A red dot lights up when using the selftimer. On the back of the camera body there's a DIN/ASA conversion table. On the (earlier) Srt series, this table had been circular. Contrary to the XG-M, the XG-1 has no film memo holder on the back. Next to the transport handle there's a "film loaded" indicator. The accessory shoe is a hotshoe, but a separate X flash connector is present near the lens barrel. Next to it you'll find the cable release connector.

The Minolta XG-A was the simplest of the XG series. It is a manual focus SLR camera body with automatic control of shutter speed. Its predecessor, the XG-1, had a full scale manual mode; the XG-A had only a selector for under- or over-exposure (seen in the photograph).
