I think there must be a difference between them. I have a friend who has
one of the Minolta's the R3 is based on. I'll check and see what they are
called for sure. And you are right about the XD-5, it was a stripped down
XD-11. Sorry about that.

Nope, the Canon was beaten to market by a couple months.
