Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D (Dynax 5D) review

Great DSLR - I have been using mine for about 30days and find this is a great offering. Quick in every sence of the word. Focus, firing, writting and speed of accessing taken pictures. Image stabilization has been working well with my Sigma 135 to 400mm zoom (which is up to 600mm due to image size. Nice positions of all controlls. Battery life has been very impressive. Buit-in flash has no read eye due to height.

I can not figure out why this camera has not getten reviewed by the major reviewers. It is a winner - very pleased with this purchase.

Problems:

None.

Wish it had a faster connection - the USB is slowish for quality photos.

Wish it had a second wheel in the back.
