Minolta XD (Minolta XD11)
The Minolta XD (sold as the XD11 in North America and the XD7 in Europe) is a 35mm SLR introduced in the late 1970s. It was positioned as Minolta's advanced enthusiast model and was notable for offering both shutter-priority and aperture-priority automatic exposure modes alongside manual control.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Minolta XD have fallen in a narrow £38–£44 band, with a median around £41 in 2026. Saleroom values today are sensitive to cosmetic condition and whether the electronics are confirmed working, and bodies sold without a lens tend to sit at the lower end of what the camera is worth.
