Reviews on Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with Lens Kit - 0.71"-2.76"
Konica Minolta 5D - The Legend Continues.
Strengths: Very solid build, perfect weight, a good kit lens that gives quality images, a image processor that is fast, accurate and "feels" Minolta. It does wht is says it will.
Weakness: Obviously, a little low on megapixles which can effect cropping and enlargement potential. The contol dial is too close to the shutter release for easy operation. Should include Dimage Master.
This is my first DSLR, although I have been an "advanced amateur" photographer for 45 years. The KM 5D was preceeded by a Nikon Cool Pix 5000 and three Minolta SLR's. There is no comparison with the Nikon. The Nikon was a digital tool. The 5D is an artist's instrument. The speed of power up, focus and shoot is phenominal (less than 1 second in bright light). This allows you to capture the moment...
Usable 3200 ISO
Strengths: Fast, low noise image sensor and anti-shake. Good build quality. Easy to use yet still full featured.
Weakness: Would like user definable presets on the control dial.
I've not had a moment's regret since unpacking my 5D about three weeks ago. The combination of antishake and a usable (though with some noise) 3200 ISO means I almost never have to use flash for my kind of pictures. Frankly, I hate, hate, hate flash. Front on flash ruins just about anything it illuminates. The scenes I wish to capture occur early sunrise, late sunset. With the 5D I don't usually...
Best DSLR yet! Very exciting product from Konica...
Strengths: Amazing intelligence for a low price. Anti-shake that works! Beautiful styling and ergonomics,Very friendly, well thought out buttons and placement.Excellent grip and handling,IMAGE QUALITY-INCREDIBLE!!
Weakness: None at all.
This is an amazing package of photographic tools. From consistent,accurate, and instantaneous focus to beautiful to handle and look at, Konica Minolta has gone right to the top of the class with this camera. Right off, the main thing is its image quality; I can`t say enough about how this camera does what`s its designed to do, get the picture right. I`ve shot on full auto till I was comfortable...
Best value among all entry-level DSLR
Strengths: Excellent ergonomics, good battery life, good photo quality, excellent controls and loads of premium features at entry level price.
Weakness: Slow kit lens, slow USB connection.
KM 5D offers the best value in today’s entry-level DSLR market. It charges less than half of the price that it’s upper class sibling 7D charged but keeps about 85%-90% of the 7D’s premium features which are yet to be found in other competitors in the same class. Image quality, build quality, exposure, color, controls, and ergonomics are excellent. The camera is an easy choice for many...
Very nice entry-level dSLR
Strengths: Anti-shake feature increases usability; Easy access to all controls; Good ergonomics; Best value in terms of price/performance.
Weakness: Less popular lens/flash system compared to Canon or Nikon; Mirror slapping sound is a little loud; Lousy software package.
This entry-level d-SLR is nicely built with better than average quality. It feels a little heavy in hand, considering its compact size, but overall feels comfortable. The image quality is in par with similar products of other brands. But when you think about the ergonomics, ease of control and functionality, it's probably the best in its class. As a replacement for my other compact digital...
Great entry-level DSLR
Strengths: built-in AntiShake, excellent body, good picture quality at high ISO sensitivity (ISO800, 1600), large LCD, easy to control
Weakness: Low resolution of LCD, Only 6.1M (although it is not a bit different than 8.1M), not too sharp in high ISO
Highly recommend for entry-level DSLR. It is totally worth for each pennies you paid for it. It has better build quality than EOS350, more functionilites than Nikon D5, better image qualities than E300/E500.
Excellent DSLR
Strengths: Excellent handling, nice solid build. Image stabilization lives up to everything you've read about it. Great viewfinder. Easy to control.
Weakness: LCD display is terrible for viewing images. Way too low res. 4-way contoller feels cheap.
I am extremely happy with this camera. It's really a artist's tool. Not a lot of scene modes compared to other products, but if you have some experience taking control of your camera you'll love how the 5D handles. The info layout on the LCD is outstanding as well as the control layout. Every switch, button and knob gives you the feel of quality EXCEPT the 4-way controller! Why put something that...
Good Technology
Strengths: Small, Lightweignt, Lots of creative control (apature, shutter speeds, asa exc. AntiShake (it really works) Nearly instantaious autofocus, nice grip easy to hold, good battery life, nice big screan.
Weakness: Does not take SD, XT or Sony MemStick, Is not supplied with a mem card. Only one control dial so you can adjust only apature or shutter at once!
Great camera, small, lightweignt easy to use easy to navigate the menu, amazingly fast autofocus (much fater than my Minolta 600SI or 7000I W/ Minolta's stock lens. Tons of creative control i.e. apature, shutter speeds, asa, exc. very nice large screen, all in all great camera, the AntiShake really makes a big differnace when shooting at slower shutter speeds, not much to complain about.
Minolta 5D DSLR
Strengths: Anti-Shake, Price, high ISO usefulness.
Weakness: Built quality for some parts (like the 4-way controller). Wish LCD with higher resolution.
I just purchased this DSLR to replace my Panasonic FZ20, which I actually like it a lot. Though FZ-20 is great for its F2.8 through out the 12x zoom range, the low light focus and high noise @ high iso did bother me a lot. 5D appears to fix all these issues with better low light and high iso performance (with higher price,though). Overall, I strongly recommand this camera with its price...
DCRP Review: Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D
The Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D is an easy digital SLR to recommend. It costs just over $600 (body only) and it has built-in image stabilization and great photo quality. If you already have an investment in lenses from other manufacturers then I probably wouldn't throw them away and start over with the 5D, but If you're just starting out with D-SLRs then I'd take a close look at this camera.
TopKonica Minolta Dynax 5D
The Konica Minolta Dynax 5D D-SLR is a fully equipped camera that is able to lift the user's photographic skills to a higher level. The CCD image sensor delivers a beautiful image. Also colour rendition is excellent. Things like the ergonomics, the ease of operation, the Anti-Shake are all aspects that make photographing with the Dynax 5D from Konica Minolta a pleasure.

TopKonica Minolta 5D SLR
The earlier Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D was easily one of the most eagerly-awaited digital cameras in the last year or so, thanks to the legions of loyal Minolta shooters who've been so patiently waiting for a digital body. The only issues with the 7D were its size and price. With the Maxxum 5D, Konica Minolta addressed both issues without hobbling the 5D by removing features likely to be important...
TopKonica Minolta Maxxum 5D
Its body looks a little plasticky, but it has several useful advanced controls and did well in our image-quality tests.

A Superb second attempt
Strengths: Effective anti-shake Very good results Fast autofocus and card writes Simple to learn and use Excellent ergonomics
Weakness: Not as broad a selection of unusual accessories as Nikon and Canon Some pixelization from 6MP sensor
I've been an advanced amateur for 35 years having used and sold cameras from Konica, Olympus, Canon, Pentax and Minolta. I started to use digitals a few years ago, but this is my first dSLR. I will admit, I'm picky about my results and, even in head to head comparison with the excellent Minolta A2, I find the 5d does not dissapoint! Any mention of the 5d must first mention the Minolta Anti-Shake...
