I think why most pro choose Canon is due to its faster AF speed, Nikon
is not as good and Minolta is just a joke. A lots of Nikon, Canon and
Minolta users here in local News group all agree with that. I once own
a Minolta 600si, but when I need sure and fast focus, I always use
manual. I have a friend who use Minolta 800si also has the same feel.
