The Minolta X-570 (X-500 in Europe and Asia) is a film single-lens reflex camera.

It was introduced in 1983 as a lower cost alternative to the X-700, replacing the earlier XG-M in this role.

The primary difference between the top-of-the-line X-700 and the X-570 is that the latter lacked the fully automatic Program exposure mode.

This system indicated the selected shutter speed with a blinking LED and the suggested shutter speed, based on the exposure value and the selected lens aperture, with a solid LED.

Some consider the X-500 more of an enthusiast's camera than the X-700, since it offered no P mode and therefore required some photographic knowledge.
