The X-700 is one of the easiest interchangeable-lens SLRs to pick up. It may even be the most fun film camera ever built. This ‘80s vintage gadget can suit almost anyone, easily one of the best SLRs you can start with. This camera has two automatic exposure modes (full-auto, “P,” and aperture-priority, “A”), and it offers full manual control for those wishing to learn how to use that. The controls are fairly standard and easy to understand. Plus, the batteries for this camera are easy to find.

Better yet, the X-700 is a good enough camera for most photographic applications, with a huge selection of lenses available for the mount. One can start and grow with this camera without the need for anything else.

As you’d expect from a starter camera, X-700s do not break the bank.
