Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

For those beginners, like me. I have 6 lens ranged from 18mm to 300mm (i.e. 450mm) at this moment. KM D5D is the best one due to :

1. cheaper lens,
2. anti-shake allow users take good photos without tripod at night,
3. less noise, ISO 1600 photos are also very beautiful,
4. ISO 3200 photo's quality are acceptable
5. kit lens with good quality and range 18mm-70mm
6. can take high quality photos at 300mm (i.e. 450mm) or at night without tripod
7. 2.5 inch LCD display
8. useful and powerful photo-taking functions/features provided
9. professional look (a lot of buttons, wheels, big LCD, smart design, etc)

Problems:

For those photo-taking experts(i.e. they will buy more than ten different lens). They shouldn't choose KM D5D since there are few choices of lens when comparing with Canon & Nikon.
