Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

The more I use this camera the more impressed I am. The controls are intuitive and the results excellent. I was initially concerned about the location of the shutter release but in use it works well with the control dial ahead of it coming easily to your second finger to adjust settings. I also tried out the Canon 350D and the Nikon D50. They were good but the Konica Minolta 5D was:

1. Cheaper - but at least equal in quality
2. Handled better
3. Had better facilities with them being easy to use
4. Had in camera anti shake, not requiring it in each lens

Problems:

Any problems I thought there might be have turned out to be not problems at all.
