Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

I took a long time to decide which DSLR to buy.
I couldn't decide between the Canon 350D, Nikon D70, Olympus E300.
Then I found out about the Konica-Minolta Dynax 5D, I tried to read as much as I could about it and decided it was the one I wanted.
Unfortunately it was not available in Portugal back in September/October.
Although I knew I should not buy it without actually handling it in a store, I ended up by ordering it through the internet from France (I could not wait longer...).
I have been using for about 1 month only with the kit lens and a 75-300 Zoom I ordered at the same time, and have taken hundreds of photos and still think it was the best decision.
It is worth every cent I paid for it.

Problems:

None.
