I see that Konica-Minolta have a new digital slr on the way (haven't seen a date or price yet).
From what I've read the Dynax 5D is much like the 7D - it's a 6mp camera which has Minolta's Anti-Shake system. It is small and lighter (why are camera manufacturers so obsessed by reducing the size of dslrs?) than the 7D and has a few less controls. The camera has a massive 2.5" screen which should make reviewing images a pleasure. It has a 1.5x crop factor and will shot at a rate of 3fps (for 10 frames - shooting large jpg).
It looks like this is Minolta's answer to the Canon 350D and the Nikon D50, so presumably the price will be comparable (if not I think Minolta will have made a big mistake). Let's hope Minolta get it out soon, so as not to miss the boat again - they seem to have been very slow getting into the dslr market. Had this camera been out a year ago I might not have switched from Minolta (film) to Canon (digital)...
Here's the link to it on the Konica-Minolta website - lots more info and some pictures...
