Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

I really love this camera! However previously owning the KM5 (non-digital) I had to get used to its weight ... especially compared to my other camera Canon Ixus 50. With the kit lens the AF works good and it works even in semi darkness.
The sensor is just 6 Mega pixels, but that's big enough for me and it keeps the pictures sizes small.The higher ISO are very usuable up to 1600. ISO 3200 is still good and probably bettter than the hig ISO levels of other cameras.

The KM 5D is camera for photography lovers. The high price people ask for 2nd hand one justifies this statement.

Problems:

Non so far. It seems to me it is built like a tank.
