Best 35mm Advanced Amateur: The Minolta Maxxum 7


Minolta Maxxum 7 Minolta has hit the 21st century with a truly innovative 35mm single lens reflex. The radical departure Minolta chose was in the 7's unique user interface screen nestled on the back of the camera. At first glance it may look like your usual LCD; however, this large screen is based on a dot matrix system, allowing it to provide previously unheard-of amounts of information. This new screen displays the usual exposure information as well as offering the option to delve many stages further. Without going into great detail, this one has to be seen to be believed. Needless to say, it also offers a wide range of high-quality Minolta interchangeable lenses and enough features to please even the most picky and demanding user. $1200.

Housewares Product of the Year: The ShowTime Rotisserie & BBQ


Showtime Rotisserie Corey Greenberg was supposed to do a tongue in cheek TODAY SHOW segment on infomercial products. Instead, he's become obsessed with this appliance that allows you to cook beef, bird and aquatic life, sans oven, rotisserie style on your kitchen counter top. As we speak, he's probably pounding a hypodermic loaded with honey and basil Pulp Fiction-style into a full size chicken or basting beef with a jamboree of jams, jellies and herbs--even the Greenberg cats are reportedly keeping a safe distance.
