If I stay with Minolta I'm sticking with my X-370. It takes great pictures and in the non-autofocus, auto-exposure realm its very highly considered, perhaps second only to the Nikons (and maybe the Canon T series, but the Canons aren't as hardy). At this point I have no interest in a remote flash, although the X-370 will take one. I don't like flash photography much anyway, and tend to concentrate outdoors. I'm sure as school plays become more prevalent in my life, this will change.
BTW, if anyone has a kid, etc. interested in learning analog photography, I recommend the 370 or its big brother the X-700. Both are solid, basic, easy to use and understand SLRs that take great pictures. And I understand you can get one cheap on eBay. Minolta apparently made the 370 for years and years, so almost new ones are available. They were packaged with a 50mm lens that's pretty good, but a wide variety were available for it.

Sounds like you should go the alt route to camera cool and get yourself a large format with a dark-cloth. Then sneer at those silly F-3s. |
