The Minolta 16 (I) gold, is common and demands a modest premium over the chrome version . Less common are samples with original packaging. The coloured cameras came in a grey-green box holding a blue plastic display box with ice blue silk lining. The case (perhaps sold separately as there is no room in the box to hold the camera in it's case) and strap are a light tan colour.
