I guess you could call me an "intermediate" photographer since I'm currently a Photo college student. Currently I use a manual focus Olympus-OM4. I've traveled with that camera and taken great photos, but truthfully it is just too heavy and clunky.

I'm interested in getting a new camera with eye control. I've been reading the reviews and am considering the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7 OR Canon EOS Elan 7NE .

If anyone has advice on these models or similar ones, I'd greatly appreciate it! Keep in mind I have a budgut of under $500, including acessories like lenses & etc.
