Comments about Konica - Minolta Konica-Minolta Maxxum 5D Digital SLR Camera Body Kit with AF DT Zoom 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens, 6.3mp.:

I really love the layout of controls on this DSLR. I have owned several digital cameras (Panasonic DMC-FZ20, Canon S2-IS, Canon Digital Elph, etc.) and always had a hard time remembering how to navigate the menus to get to the function I wanted. This one has a separate button for each of the most commonly used functions (ISO, metering mode, focus mode, drive mode, white balance, etc.). And they combined the best of Konica's shutter speed priority and Minolta's aperture priority in a single, flexible camera. Buy one while you still can. Once they are gone, Konica-Minolta is out of the camera business - and the Sony Alpha will be the closest thing.

Just use camera RAW and fixfocal Minolta lenses. AntiShake is great, superb function control. This body has better grip than Alpha. Highly reccomended.
