Digital or Film?

That's true yeah :(

Basically, I have the following glass for my two Minolta 7000 bodies; 70-210 f4, 50mm f1.7, 35-105 f/3.5-f4.5 It would be a great shame to stop using these, because they are unique, and I'm not going to get that kind of quality for a while from a Canon or Nikon system because it will cost too much.

I'm planning to sell my Canon gear - Canon EOS 300, 28-80mm f3.5-5.6, 80-200, f/5.6 to f/6.7, with the view to either start going for a Canon system or carry on with the Minolta system.

I might add that I was thinking of having my Minolta stuff as my 'film only' stuff, and buy some Canon stuff to become my 'digital only' although, that might be a bad idea since I'll have to buy new everything :(

Yeah, it leaves me in a pickle doesn't it :(

Or maybe I should just sell my Canon stuff and wait until my Minolta stuff fails and then think of a new system. I've spent £64 on two spare bodies and a lens for my Minolta 7000 and a lot on various film development costs so I should start saving?

I really don't think it's worth carrying on with buying Minolta bit's and peices really the way things have gone for them.

Hmm - I had a thought - what if I bought a modern Minolta film SLR - Like the Dynax 7 - and then practiced up a little more, and save thus getting a bunch of Canon things - lenses - body. But sell my Canon stuff...that I don't use at the moment.
 
Hmm, since there is still a fair bit of life left in my 7000s, I might just save the money it would cost to buy a Dynax 7 (because I'll end up using that one) and put it towards 5D then :) I think that's the best idea.

Plus when the Minolta stuff is obsolete, I can look at other systems:)

personally this question should be answered with RAW :D

RAW is a digital negative, so is the best of both worlds ;)

Nice :)

Although I may have to fish out a little extra cash for the Minolta 5D to get some editing software for the RAW files, as I don't think it comes with any.
