Minolta DiMage Z5 Or Fujifilm Finepix S7000?

[civileng68]

Please please please someone help me decide which camera is better. I just purchased the Minolta DiMage Z5 and have until Monday night, 5:00 pm to change the order.

I am wondering if I should take the Minolta DiMage Z5 or change to the Fujifilm Finepix S7000.

I am still an amateur but have a quick learning curve on almost anything, and like to take professional pictures. I am likely to join a local club and take classes as well. I do NOT print pictures often at all and like to keep them online.

Which camera do you think I should choose?

Which camera is larger as well, and is one MUCH larger than the other.

I love how the Minolta Z5 has the Anti-Shake.

Any help?

Pssssst. This is a Canon Forum.

Have a look at the side-by-side comparison on DPreview that should give you an idea of the features that each has. You probably won't find too many people with a real opinion on those choices here.

If I were you, I'd be looking at the G6 for a prosumer P&S. I've just upgraded from a G3 (an earlier model) and I have found it to be an excellent camera to learn/practice and grow with.
