IMO, Minolta needs to think about the looks of their cameras if they hope to sell a lot of them to prosumers. I think they are quite ugly & blocky looking. Reminds me of the old Minolta cameras - like this http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/maxxum7k/index.htm. I think I'll stick with my Rebel XT.
BTW: I don't think the $60 kit lens is scary, the one that came with my digital rebel is probably not much more than that - reasonably good optically, but it is a featherweight piece of plastic.
