Latest addition to my my "fleet" is a Dynax 5D off ebay, nice well built camera, observations on my view of why the brand died.
1) Konica should have kept their monica (name) off the DSLRs
2) The shutter mechanism has a "clunky" sound (same on the 7D) that I think some people might find off-putting.
Reality is I think that had Konica continued marketing the DSLRs as Minolta (rather than konica minolta) I think that the cameras would have sold better.
Now got 2 Minoltas and 2 Sonys, I have found lots of fine and cheap Minolta branded lenses to use on them.
Cheers
