Minolta's cheap compact camera is a cheeky Hasselblad lookalike

Two product images of a white Minolta MND65 on a white background, showing the rear and front of the camera, with a woman taking a selfie on the rear LCD .

I’m going to come right out and say it: Photo Rumors is absolutely right, and this Minolta MND65 bears a bit of a cheeky resemblance to Hasselblad’s legendary X System cameras. And no, I’m not suggesting it’ll be a patch on the aspirational Swedish manufacturer’s wears, but in the words of Oscar Wilde: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”, after all.

One area where this cheeky little camera does trump Hasselblad – and pretty much every other major brand for that matter – is price. At the time of writing the folks over at Adorama have it listed for $149, with a $199.95 RRP, making it a potential contender for the best cheap cameras, review pending of course.
