I wanted a DSLR and having already owned a Minolta SPXi I already had the lenses. I did my research, considering that Konica Minolta have been bought-out by Sony and Sony Alpha cameras use Minolta lenses. Sony cameras appear to be for beginners or pure pros with a big difference in price. The base cameras are fairly basic and the upper-range models are really expensive. The newly released cameras also seem to be downmarket - they are stripping features and adjustments with every new model. The older 7D and 5D models are still sought-after so I wanted a 5D, affordable but still well equipped. It's a great camera, it can hold it's own with much more expensive machines.
I bought this 5d to use it as a second one together with my 7d. This body is in its system nearly the same as the 7d and not so heavy. Sorry that the most parts of this body are produced out of Plastic-Material. But as an old Minolta-Product-User and collector for me it is an obligation to be an owner of this camera in a long line of SLR -cameras an finally these both.I doubt to be possible to by a new one in the future because cameras in a good condition won`t be anymore on the market. that enough cameras in a good condition a then are on the market.
