I just found my dad's old camera while looking around in the basement. Its a Minolta Maxxum 7000 35mm, and it has two lenses and a flash with it. I'm pretty new to photogrpahy so I don't know much about older cameras, so /p/, is this win or fail?

cameras are always win, are you fail?

its pretty good win,
i dont like the autofocus on the lenses with it,
it is better than the xg-m for example as it has a screen auto focus and better flash sync.
you can certainly take brilliant photos with that camera, i would recommend iso 100 colour or black and white film for it.
minoltas dont always work so well with iso 400. (maybe its just me).
anyway the cameras viewfinder is also good because it shows about 95% of the effective photo, so no surprises at the photo lab.

in my opinion though cameras from before 1982 are better than this AF bullshit,
still youve got a reasonably good camera on your hands, dont destroy the opportunity to take good photos,
stock up on filters, film, and buy a zoom lens, probably 28-200mm or more, i got a MF zoom for 75$AUD

How would the brand of camera affect the speed of film it worked best with?

Minolta were the first cameras to feature TTL metering, autofocus, the first cameras to go up in space on manned NASA missions, the standard issue SLR in the Vietnam War, etc etc etc.

Minolta would win, except that they ducked out of the camera business last year and sold everything to Sony.

Oh, and that's why Sony has the in-camera image stabilization, which Minolta invented too.

Minolta's rangefinders are pretty much made of win.
