There is a lot of room between cool and embarassing. However I can tell you that I had a lot of very excited buyers of those cameras I mentioned.

The photo industry was exited by them, so again FAR from embarassing.

When the 7000 came out , the industry was in a period of stagnation.

Canon had created a buzz (and sent a few camera companies out of business) when it launched the AE1 in 1976. After that there wasn't much that excited the market.

Minolta with the 7000 brought in a lot of people into the stores, it created the buzz. to some , that is cool...

Be aware that emmanem get's off on trolling the forums .

Thanks for that.

I had a look at other threads, I see what you mean.
