RAW is usally better than any other format, especially if you load it straight into Photoshop CS at 16 bits.
I would agree the Minolta is a second rate camera, plus as it is not SLR you are stuck with the crappy lens.
IMHO the three best cameras under $5k are the Canon 10D, Canon D300 or Nikon D70. I tried them all and bought the 10D.
More pixels is not better as the bigger ones tend to generate more noise so the effective resolution is actually less than a 6MP SLR, and way less than a 6MP SLR with a good lens affixed.
