The Minolta-16 MG and MG-S are subminiature cameras using 16mm film cartridges, part of Minolta's 16-series subminiature line introduced during the mid-twentieth century. They were positioned as compact pocket cameras for casual photography, sitting below the company's full-frame 35mm models in the range.

With only a single recorded UK auction-hammer result in our SALES HISTORY (a 1998 Christie's sale at £23), we cannot give a meaningful price range for what these cameras are worth today in 2026. Buyers asking how much a Minolta-16 MG or MG-S sells for at saleroom level should treat this single data point as indicative only, since condition, completeness of the original case and chain, and the presence of the dedicated film cartridge all materially affect value at auction.
