Beware: KM has closed its digital camera businesses
The 5D is a great camera, but be aware that Konica Minolta announced this month (January 2006) that it was immediately stopping the production and support of all of its digital cameras, and was completely getting out of the business.The rights to the technology associated with the 5D and 7D have been transferred to Sony, but who knows what support the camera will continue to enjoy.Based on past history of cameras, the answer is likely "none."(The consensus on alt.photo.digital is that some of technology...

Inexpensive and good entry level DSLR
The KM 5D is an inexpensive and very good entry level DSLR, with anti-shake if you're interested in that feature. Like the big brother the Maxxum 7D- the 5D has an anti-shake system, making the 5D and 7D the only DSLRs with image stabilization built into the camera body. Both cameras are full manual -6.1 MP, with large LCD displays. The 5D LCD is 2.5" but lower resolution than the 7D.Cons: Slow USB why not high speed 2.0 USB Konica??Slower than the 7D is shot to shot speedAs of Jan 2006, Sony got...

Love it!
I just got my Maxxum 5D and I absolutely love it. It feels solid, not plastic-like at all. All the buttons are in the right places, and it's very easy to take pictures any way you want. Image stabilization gives you about one extra stop of light - great to take pictures without flash that would need flash otherwise.It seems quite hard to get lenses, if you don't have any, ordering the kit is a good idea in case the lens you ordered is on backorder.Absolutely recommended....

Love the camera
The camera is just great. Nice small and light body. The software is very intuitive with perfect access to all settings. Picture quality is great especially due to the anti shake feature that helps the coffee drinker hands :)...
