Subject: Re: [Leica] What are some other camera brands non-Leica which people here use?

I currently use a Minolta Maxxum 9 which I consider to be a first rate
camera.  I've been using Minolta AF equipment since buying a Minolta 9000
at about the time when they first introduced AF cameras.  And I used an
SRT-101 for many years before that.  But the Minolta 9 is a heavy camera
and not condusive (sp?) for Nathan style photography :-).   My current toy
is a Minolta Dimage 7 digicam, which I am having tons of fun with, inspite
of complaints from many people on online forums about the camera.  It takes
an excellent photograph, is very light weight, easy to carry about, and
puts the fun back into photography for me.
