The Minolta XG-M is a 35mm film SLR introduced in the early 1980s, using the Minolta SR (MD/MC) bayonet mount. It sat toward the upper end of Minolta's XG manual-focus line, offering aperture-priority auto exposure alongside manual control and compatibility with a motor drive.

Hammer prices at recent UK auction have been modest, with the two recorded results landing at £38 and £56 — a narrow £38–£56 range that suggests today's XG-M typically sells for well under £100 at saleroom level. With only two data points on file in 2026, individual condition, the presence of a working lens, and whether the body fires cleanly on all speeds dominate what any given example is worth.
