I never really fell in love with the XG-7 like I had with all my other Minolta cameras. It seemed to me to me more a run-off-the-mill type of camera than something special or really innovative like most of my other Minoltas had been.

If was a nifty little camera with some good details and great usability. It just seemed more neutral in its design and functions than any other Minolta I had owned. It took great pictures and worked really well, but eventually the shutter gave up and I was stuck with yet another useless manual film body.
