Minolta Dimage 7i or Minolta Dimage A1- please ?

I can buy used:

Minolta Dimage 7i

or

Minolta Dimage A1,

one or another, it is the question.

What camera to choose and why ?

Image quality is most important.

Looking on net, seems to me that 7i has higher image quality, but I would like to hear your opinions.

Thanks!

I browsed web, and looked to some pictures.

Seems to me than Minolta has a very special colours, unique to Minolta.
