Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

I have been a Minolta user sence my first one in '69. Don't even remember the model. Bought my first SLR 'maxxum 5000' a long time ago. Holding off on digital seems even longer. Then out comes the 5D. 7D was allways to pricey'' 5D runs almost the same spec's. Less res' on the LCD but... So far shot's look good compaired to the 5000. Anti-shake works better than I'd hoped. Driving down the road shooting barns at 300mm(test). All my AF lenses work with this camera cool and another buying point. So far all most all good.

Problems:

A cover for the LCD would be nice. Don't know how scratchable it will be in the long run.

Out side full sun shots do tend to over expose using the full auto mode. Easy to overcome using the S or A settings.
