I have the Minolta Dimage 7hi myself... it's a great camera with a manual focus ring on the fixed lens. It's a Elec. D-SLR (not a true SLR... but the viewfinder is a miniature LCD screen so it appears like it's a SLR). Most of the photos in my gallery were done using that camera. It's very advanced for a prosumer... and really is on the edge between upper prosumer and professional.
