>>4121501I got the X-700 10 years ago back when these things were still cheap and it was my mainstay for many years. I can't say much about the Vivitar (or rather, Cosina) but the X-700 was Minolta's flagship model before the AF era and is a quality piece of work. Excellent to handle too, I love Minolta's ergonomics. And if you get the motor winder handle gizmo it's even better, especially if you have ogre hands like mine.
