It's also much MUCH easier to replace the capacitors if they die on the 570. Easily done by oneself with a soldering iron, the 700 you can break everything a lot more easily if you try (can maybe do it), they're really buried in there.
Yeah there's only one to replace, under the bottom cover, if you spend a couple of extra pennies and replace it with a tantalum capacitor it'll never need fixing again. Brilliant camera.
I just started film photography with the Nikon F60 as its much easier to use over my Vivitar V3000N. I wanted to get a Canon AE-1 Program or similar but those things are more expensive
I agree, X570 is better. I have a 370, 570 and 700, I use only the 570. With the Motor Drive 1, it's a great package with great ergonomics. My first camera was a Pentax ME super, so I got used to those metering lights inside the viewfinder.
hey Robert! Great video, it helped me in my search for my best slr! i curently have an XG-1 but i used an XG-M long ago and i realy liked it. how to you tink the XG-M compare to the X-570?
fully agreed, the XG-M is very similar to X700 and to x500. In real photography the XG-M is very reliable and so well made, one of the best aperture priority cameras. The main advantages of the x500 are the TTL flash automatic ( when you use flashes often it's good ) and the exposure lock button.
If I want to get into film photography, does it matter if I just get a point and shoot or do you recommend not buying a P/S and learning how to use a manual camera?
it depends on your style! i think a manual camera would be the best way to learn all of the basics, but that doesn't mean you won't learn if you start with a point and shoot
@@robertsamuel I realise I don't have patience and I just want to enjoy the moment , so I bought an Olympus af-1 twin, and Im waiting for it to come in the post! Can't wait haha
Heck yeah, I use both the XG-M and X-500. They’re great. Am about to receive an X-700 in the mail but that’s mainly because of the Multi Function Back that comes with it.
My x-700 has given me great photos. I never used the program modes just manual.

What do you do after you shoot your pictures? How do you get them on RUclips or in social media
get them developed at a photo store ! i scan them at home to digital copies, but photo labs do scans as well
Hi!! I’m purchasing the X570 and was wondering if you knew the battery that it uses ?
It uses lr44 battery, 2 of them actually

The XG-M is great! It's basically an X-700 without the Program mode.

good choice! spontaneous and candid photography is definitely a great style and way to learn
With a manual SLR you have more, much more fun. The P and S cameras are relatively boring and mostly bad constructed.
XG-M USERS RISE UP (its the Minolta sir I could find for 30 bucks)
u get it

Yes, the XG-M is very very similar to the X500. Very good camera.
