Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

Excellent camera. Bought with 18-70 kit lens.
Good things:-
- Excellent value for money
- Low noise, much better than my old A200
- Image stabilisation is great
- Battery life, same battery with well over 300 shots, has lasted for about 2 weeks on/off shooting on one charge and still going.
- Nice fast auto-focus

Bad things:-
- Would be nice to have saveable custom settings

Problems:

I'm on my 2nd 5D camera with no faults. The first one experienced the following problems:-
- Viewfinder was misaligned, so pictures were all slightly off-level
- Not compatible with my Sigma EF500 Super DG flash, all images were completely over-exposed to white.
Both these above faults were rectified when I exchanged the camera.
