New Digi Camera - Minolta A200 or Olympus C8080?

If I take the dive into DSLR's I want something with great speed, something that the original Rebel fell down trying to accomplish. I may wait a few more months, and then re-evaluate the situation. If I do get the Rebel XT I may also purchase a Sigma 70-300mm lens.

I have also been looking at the D70. It is a proven camera with great abilities, and in a few months may drop in price. I'll see how the Rebel XT performs once it is released, but the D70 is looking better and better now that I research more
