2. Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII because it has a fast lens which is
multi-coated. Someone, I think Gary Reese, reported a shocking good
lens on this puppy. Numbers don't lie. 49mm filters if I recall.
I chose the "9" for the flash-matic feature and it had better be worth
the $30 I paid for it or I'm really gonna be hurtin'...
I have a friend with the '7' who bought it new and still uses it from
time to time. He still says despite using Nikons, Pentaxes, Tokina ATX
lenses, and Oly IS-1 that Minolta has the best color rendition of any
camera he has ever had. Enjoy.
