$3,000+ Minolta

The Maxxum 7000 wasn't the first AF SLR system but it was the first truly successful one and was a significant milestone.

See:
Minolta Maxxum 7000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Didn't say it was... Pentax ME-F was the first AF SLR for 135 format to market and a complete utter failure. Maxxum was the first in body implementation of AF SLR for 135 format that many would consider "successful". Leica had sold its patents to Autofocus to Minolta prior which many would argue was a mistake made for lack of future vision.

I have both the ME-F and my fathers Maxxum 7000 in my display case... The minolta 7000's design seems futuristic when compared to the ME-F.
 
Which one was it that wrote the 'exif' between the frames? I want to say the 7xi...

...Wrote the ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and something else - EV maybe between the frames. I wonder why no other camera makers tried to do that (or did they?)...
 
Meanwhile, somewhere in the really small fine print reads: Note: this is just a box.
