Muzza, my friend purchased the Canon EOS 10D prior to the Vancouver race. It is a 6 mp and is solidly built. He is very happy with it except he has to deal with the lag time that some digital cameras have. you see some sample images in the champweb gallery. In Canada the prices have dropped a couple hundred since this camera was first introduced and I assume the prices are lower in the US too.
My other friend upgraded to the EOS 1D from a D30. This camera is fast and he can really tell the difference from his older camera. It is leess mega pixels than the 10D but most sports photographers like it for it's speed. But then again it cost more.
I think you answered your own question about the Minolta line. Having to spend more to fix a camera over the years would be better spent on a higher end Canon or Nikon.
