No, you misheard him Cotter. He didn't say the Minolta was better, those were just the words that came out of his mouth. In his head the words were 'Now, which camera was it my manager told me I get £10 extra commission for selling? Oh yes, that Minolta one that isn't selling too well. Ok, I am sure I can bluff my way through this one, let's give it a go....'
Fortunately he was up against someone who knew what he was talking about. Beggards belief that he would think he could sway a 5D customer to change his mind and buy the Minolta because it has an anti-shake device LOL.
I entirely agree with Danpen, if you have a local Photographic shop, often fairly small but with guys who really do know their business, it is definitely worth paying a few quid more to know you have got the right product and if you go back with a problem won't just say 'Hang on sir, I'll have a look in the instruction book!'
Cheers,
