I'm thinking of buying the new KM Dynax/Maxxum 5D but I've heard about some quality problems with Konica-Minolta. What kind of technical problems have encountered with the new 5D. Thanks for your answers :)
 
My 7D was in twice, but my 5D seems on the money so far.

The only problem has been a temporary loss of LCD readout - I believe due to the operation of a pressure sensor near to the tripod bush. It cleared with a camera reset.

i'm having the same problem with the person behind the viewfinder....

Can't get my top center focus point to flash! other do, so I'm going to ask for an exchange.
 
Minolta's current dedicated flashes still don't always work perfectly with DSLRs (the 5D's built-in flash seems to give great exposures).

With the 5D, 5600HS, and Lumiquest Pocket Bouncer, exposure is still wacky (major overexposure problems).

Great camera, though. Just wait for Minolta's next generation of dedicated flashes (if you want a dedicated flash).

The only problem I have is in the instant review after the picture is taken.

If I have the histogram set in review mode, when I take a picture, the instant review will flash for a split second, and then go directly back to the info mode display.

It makes no difference what time setting I choose in the menu for display. It appears to only happen when I use the histogram during review.

Seems like a small quirk in the software, hopefully to be corrected in future firmware updates.

Other than that, 1700 shots and going strong.

I've had my 5D for about two months. No problems including the use of 3600 flash. I'm very pleased with it and all my old Minolta lenses worked well with.
