Mike,

IMO, the Minolta CLE should go digital - but with a better manual 
exposure option - it's perfectly sized  and all the specs I need too - 
plus interchangeable lenses and dedicated flash.

Cheers
Douglas

BTW- my dream DSLR would be a Rollei 3003 with a digital back as an 
alternative to the film backs.
