Good Points

Very good feeling when you hold it. Numerous functionalities that would excuse the classification in an upper class. Excellent viewfinder. Fast AF. Exact exposure metering. Very good price.

Bad Points

No led for the LCD Panel. But, if there was an illuminated LCD Panel, there would remain nothing for the above classes.

General Comments

I thing that Minolta Dynax5 is the perfect SLR camera for someone who wants the best "value for price" relation.
The construction quality seems to be very good. But, as it is a new model, we should be able to talk about quality after a long time of use without problems.
It can be used in many ways, according to the user's photographic experience and purposes; from totally manual to totally automatic, in many combinations.
It is not only suitable for experimental and artistic photography, but also for fast "point and shoot" photos of great quality. There also are ready 5 dedicated programs for beginners.
