Good Points

Many, many goodies available only in much more expensive cameras. Very good construction quality. Great AF.

Bad Points

None

General Comments

I use this camera in compination with Minolta 24-85 AF lens and I always have excellent results.
Additionally, only one single look at the specification tables will convince you that this camera is the best "value for money" proposal.
Generaly, when buing a camera, avoid kits. The lenses included are of the poorest quality.
Take only Dynax 5 body, and then choose a good Minolta lens. I dont recommend third party manufacturers (like Tamron, Vivitar etc) because I had a lot of compatibility problems in the past.
