WE KNOW 
WHAT 
IT'S LIKE 
TO BE 
ALONE 
It wasn’t always this way. 
It used to be hard to decide among all the 35mm SLR's 
Then we created the new Minolta XG-M. A camera so extraor- 
dinary it stands alone in its class. With an unrivaled combination 
of creative features. 
First, it's automatic. So it’s easy 
to get sharp, clear pictures. You just 
point, focus, and shoot. It even has 
electronic features that keep you from 
making mistakes. 
As your skills advance, you'll appreciate advanced 
features like metered manual and exposure override for 
full creative control 
To further separate ourselves from 
the competition, we built in the option 
of professional motor-drive Something 
normally found only on more expensive 
cameras. 
It lets you shoot a blazing 3.5 frames per second. So 
you can catch a baseball as it comes off the bat. Or halt a 
horse leaping a hurdle. 
But to fully grasp the XG-M's advanced design, 
you have to hold it. 
The body feels rugged yet light. With a built-in 
textured grip that's sculpted to fit snugly in your 
hand. And oversized controls that make it easy to 
adjust to changing conditions. 
As your creative potential develops, you’ll 
have access to over 45 interchangeable, 
computer-designed Minolta lenses. As well as 
the Minolta system of SLR accessories. 
All in all, the XG-M is a 
remarkable achievement. 
But then, we have over 50 
years of remarkable achieve- 
ments to draw on. 
The new Minolta XG-M. 
Now we know how it feels to 
be alone. 
But we’re not complaining. 
WAIT TIL YOU SEE 
HOW GOOD YOU CAN BE.
