An excellent DSLR

I've been using my Maxxum 5D for about a month now and could not be more impressed.It has excellent ergonomics, great features (like antishake), and of course, produces high quality images.I moved up from a Canon point and shoot and I really appreciate these features: 1) no shutter lag, 2) long battery life, 3) great low-light performance, 4) interchangeable lenses, 5) RAW format support.I am shooting only RAW these days and using Photoshop Elements 3.0 to do the conversion to JPEG.While it is true...

Extraordinary DSLR Camera For Wannabe Pros (or real ones)

This DSLR is as good as it gets in the "Pro-sumer" (advanced amateur...wannabe pro) category.The Konica Minolta Maxxum 5Dis as good (or better) than all the others in its class (e.g, Nikon and Canon) but comes with the anti-shake feature. It is also among the least expensive in its class.Get it while you still can.This camera is for experienced digital photography enthusiasts, or technological savvy folks who are sure that's where they are headed.You can set it to "auto" and point-and-shoot the...

Easy-to-use SLR with fast, beautiful results

I received the Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D camera for Christmas from my husband.I'm a long-time owner of Minolta SLR film cameras, and I was delighted to see that the digital Maxxum 5 uses my autofocus lenses from my film-version Maxxum camera!So, if I want to switch back and forth between digital and film pictures, I can utilize my complete collection of lenses.The autofocus function captures a sharp, clear picture even in low-light situations.Unlike many digital cameras, the Maxxum 5D powers up and...

Awesome Pictures

I purchased this camera when it first came out, about 5 months ago. I was an amateur SLR film photographer for years, and this is my first digital. Using this camera, I have significantly improved my photography skills - using the manual settings to explore many different aspects of a picture - combined with good optics and picture quality.If you're an amateur ready to move to a digital SLR, this is a good choice.Pros:The antishake technology is fantastic - I am a hand-held user, and I have gotten...

I am glad I went for the KM 5D over Nikon and Canon

After months of research, I was convinced that the 5D is the best investment for a first-time DSLR aspirant like me. Needless to say, the Anti-Shake mechanism built into the body was the decisive selling point. With AS, every Minolta or third party AF lens becomes a VR lens with the 5D, whereas, with the other brands, one needs to invest in their super expensive VR lenses to achieve the same result.I hurried up and bought mine with the kit lens one day after the announcement that KM is winding down...
