Have you had a chance to review this camera?  I don't know if I would take
the plunge into Minolta pro cameras until they provide some more proof of
their commitment.  I have not reviewed Minolta lenses in a long time.  How
are their fast telephoto lenses for AF applications.  How fast do these
focus compared to Nikon?
