Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

This is my first DSLR.
I'm really satisfied with it so far.
The AS is great, the noise in high ISOs is very low, colors are great.
Especially with a good lense (like the 28-75D/2,8) you can do miracles !

Pros :
-AS
-Low noise, usable 3200 great 1600 and 800
-Zone matching modes Lo80, Hi200
-compact yet comfortable grip unlikely 350D XT
-FAST writing times (with Extreme III card you cand fill it entirely with extraf ine jpgs at 3 fps)
-Easy to learn even for a DSLR novice like me
-Great image quality

Cons :
-115000 pixels for a 2,5 '' screen are few (but you have the 4,7 zoom to check for focus etc )
-No external grip (yet ?)
