We first heard of the two new Minolta DiMAGE 5 and 7
digital cameras at PMA on 11th
February this year (although there had been leaked information earlier).
Both cameras are based on the same functionality, body and 7x optical
zoom lens, the DiMAGE 5 has a 3.3 megapixel CCD and 32 - 250 mm equiv.
focal length range, the DiMAGE 7 a 5.2 megapixel CCD with a 28 - 200 mm
equiv. focal length range.
Much of this operational / design part of this review
is simply reproduced from the DiMAGE 7 review because the two cameras
(in this respect) are virtually identical.
DiMAGE 5 compared to DiMAGE 7
Here's a quick breakdown of the DIFFERENCES between the
DiMAGE 5 and 7 (you'll find full specifications for the DiMAGE 5 on the
next page):

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
