I'd like the Canon though I haven't compared it directly to the Minolta X series.
I'll have a look now

I've used the Minolta X camera before, but found that my fingers liked to get in the pictures since the lens was at the top corner

Your 300D is great for happy snapping hehe

I can't post this message yet, still waiting for my net to connect;
it's so annoying, can't get online! and when I do, its only for a little while before I get disconnected again!
must get a new modem soon; the nasty man said that there was nothing wrong with our modem; he's lying and lying and lying

So I sit here, checking on the modem status every few minutes, waiting for it to say "connection established" so I know I can post; each time, adding a bit more to this post; while I read a 1997 National Geograhic Magazine I bought today.
The pictures are so nice.. blue skies
