My grandfather recently decided to unload one of his old cameras on me.

It's called a Minolta (model XG-1) and I have never heard of it before.
Thankfully I'm not completely in the dark, it still have it's originally owner's manual.
I think the camera is from around c.1979 .

However, if you know anything about this camera, it's performance, what it is like to use, why it's name is practically obsolete :P ...
Any information would be appreciated!
In the mean time, I suppose I'll wiki it, and go buy some film!

Cheers!
Meagan
