Assuming equal condition, which would be the better of the three?

Really, there isn't much competition here. If you are looking for the most popular camera, the Minolta 7SII wins by a WIDE margin. It is often compared to the Konica S3, and is a very small RF. Plus, it has a much more modern meter than the Original Canonet. The Minolta Hi-Matic F is nice, but is much simpler and has a slower lens (though it does have a better meter than the Canonet). If all were the same price, I'd buy the Minolta.

However, I have been looking for an Original Canonet for a little while. How much is the seller asking for it?
 
I must pass on this stuff, as nice as it is.
