One Big Happy Family
These cameras are essentially all the same camera - a Minolta X-300/X-370, introduced in 1984. It was released in different markets around the world with different names; it was updated with slightly different features and styling; and then Minolta moved production from Japan to a Chinese factory, which made Seagull cameras for the Chinese market, and Seagull obtained a license to make copies of it. Which they did and used a variety of different names for their clones. And their website still lists this camera as being for sale, so it's still being made after almost 40 years! This is my collection of these Minoltas and it's clones:
