The Minolta X-500 is a 35mm SLR camera that Minolta released in April 1983.

Exposure modes: Only aperture-priority auto (A mode) and manual mode (M mode) are available. The program auto exposure of the X-700 is missing.

Metering: The camera uses an SPD silicon photodiode with TTL metering and a dual-LED display in the viewfinder. Shutter speed and metering value are clearly displayed, allowing parameters to be adjusted without taking your eye from the viewfinder.

Long-duration synchronization: This feature is more advanced than on the X-700. In combination with exposure storage (AEL) and a Minolta flash unit, it enables long-exposure synchronization in low light while preserving background sharpness.

Depth-of-field preview: The X-500 stores the metering value when depth-of-field preview is activated, effectively storing the metering values at maximum f-stop. This enables direct shooting with simultaneous image preview – an advantage over the X-700.

Additional specifications: Shutter speed 4 seconds to 1/1000 second, flash sync 1/60 second, ISO 12–3200, supports all accessories of the MPS system (matte screen, motor drive, back, etc.). The X-500 is relatively rare on the used market, as production ended in 1986 and it was sold for less than three years.
