New Digi Camera - Minolta A200 or Olympus C8080?

[John Masson]

I am not in the market for a DSLR. I want the best "prosumer" camera I can purchase for around $800. It needs to have at least a 7x Zoom.....

Anyhow I am getting closer to making a purchase and I have narrowed it down to TWO cameras. The Canon Powershot Pro1 or the Minolta Dimage A200. I am leaning more towards the Pro1 at the moment. The Pro1 looks to have faster AF and most of the problems described in early reviews are gone with the firmware updates Canon has released.
