- [The story: My Pratika is broken. I want a new camera that will let
- me use my Tamron lenses.]
-
- After much deliberation, I have finally decided to go with the
- Minolta X-700. It has all the features I need, and more. I
- orignally was thinking of the X-9, for price reasons. But then
- I discovered how cheap things are at B&H. The local camera shops
- here all wanted about $370 CDN for the X-700; at B&H it is only
- $199 US. Even after paying the exchange on the dollar (which is
- down at the moment), the tariffs, and the GST, I'm getting the
- X-700 for less then the local people wanted for the X-9.
-
- I would like to thank everyone for their responses and suggestions;
- I received a lot of mail! I have compiled all the replies, so if anyone
- ever needs suggestions/advice on the X series, just drop me a line.
