[tizodq]

been looking around at camera's the past couple days and have it narrowed down between these 2 cameras. im gonna be using the camera mostly for racing (le mans, f1, etc) my question is it really worth the $200+ to get the Maxxum 7, or should i just get the Maxxum 5? if you have any other camera suggestions let me know. thnx a lot

I'm partial to my Canon EOS A2 but that's probably out of your price range..
What are you going to be doing with the pics? Is it for personal use or are you press or what? If you're not taking pics for a living or for art purposes then it's just a matter of what features you want in the camera.. any quality difference will be negligible between the two, and it will mostly depend on the film and lens anyway.

I just bought a Minolta STsi which has a max of 1 fps. Not bad for what I use it for. It sounds like if you're gonna be doing fast action stills, a camera with >= 1/2000 shutter speed and more than 1 or 2 fps is what you want. Make sure you get a good set of lenses too. Minolta is not bad for a body along with Canon and Nikon.
