Try the Minolta 5 or Minolta 7 and one of the HS flashes. The lighting system will make more of a difference to your photos than having the ability to get over 3000 different lenses that Nikon and Cannon offer. Unless you're buying a professional lighting kit with your Nikon or Cannon. Or unless you're mostly taking bird pictures with 2 ton lens.

Agree on the Maxxum 7. The value that Nikon and Canon have is network interoperability--many more lenses--and legacy benefits--no lost investment in lenses. Neither is of any import to me, as I started with a Maxxum years back, and I don't have a source to swap lenses with (e.g., a news photog pool) or need to rent them. Minolta has plenty of lenses in its line to cover everything I could want to do, regardless of whether I could afford it (e.g., the 300/2.8 AD lens)
