Great post. I grew up with Minolta, first one was a SRT100-something model aged 6 (thx to my mom), followed by XG-2/XD-7 with the f1.4/50mm (first one still usable, second lost) which were very exiting for nightly sky shots and ideal to cope with the basics. After a short period of 5xi with the very limited Minolta 28-80 kit tube (forceful terminated by robbery) I ended up with my beloved 9xi (2nd hand in 2001). Just perfect balance and weight. The one thing I miss is the focusing screen with split screen of the old models where you can almost fumble for the focus. The missing flash is another point at private parties.

Now the combination of 9xi with Kodak EliteII or Elitechrome and Nikon ED-40 has become some sort of unhandy and time-consuming and it’s time for a new Alpha. 700 maybe, or 350, not answered jet.

Nice post. However, I’m not sure where people are getting that Nikon has a camera with a shutter speed greater than 1/12000th of a second. I believe Minolta still holds the crown for that, at least in a traditional film SLR.
Even the Nikon F6, which is very high spec indeed, has only 1/8000th of a second shutter speed.
