The Konica Minolta’s Maxxum 5D digital camera, also known as the Dynax 5D has been reviewed at Shutterbug.
The review conclusion:
“Priced to compete in the entry-level category, the 5D offers excellent value with its built-in Anti-Shake mechanism. More affordable than the 7D, the newer model is a fast and convenient digital SLR that’s easy to use in point-and-shoot modes. This is definitely a more suitable camera for families than the 7D and yet, it’s a fine choice for serious photographers, too, due to a remarkable versatility. Offering the best of both worlds, this Konica Minolta model deserves to become a best seller.”

A review of the Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 digital camera has been posted at cameras.co.uk.
The reviewer’s opinion:
“There are many digital cameras with long zoom lenses to choose between. In my opinion the Konica Minolta Dimage Z6 struggles to keep up with the competition. I was disappointed with the colours the camera produced and I also have concerns about the shutter lag. Therefore I would suggest looking elsewhere if this type of digital camera appeals to you.”

The Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D digital camera has been reviewed at dcrp.
The review conclusion:
“Build quality is very good, and I found the camera easy to hold. […]
The 5D has features for both casual and experienced camera users. […]
Image quality was a bright spot for the 5D. Photos were well-exposed, with vivid colors and low noise levels. The camera controls noise well at high ISOs, so you’ll still be able to get at least a small print out of photos taken at ISO 800 and above. […]
The Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D is an easy digital SLR to recommend. It costs just over $600 (body only) and it has built-in image stabilization and great photo quality.”

A review of the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D digital camera, also known as the Dynax 7D has been posted at PCMag.
The conclusion of the review:
“The Maxxum 7D is a very well-built, intelligently designed camera with excellent handling characteristics and antishake technology. It’s a little pricey when compared with the competition, and the built-in flash could be better, but we can’t quibble with the feel or the image quality.”

The conclusion of the review:
“The Nikon Coolpix 5900 will please a lot of families with its high quality images, ease of use and diminutive size.

A review of the Konica Minolta MAXXUM 7D digital camera, also known as the Dynax 7D is available at Steve’s Digicams.
Here is part of the review conclusion:
“[…] The 7D faces stiff competition, largely from the Canon EOS 20D. Its image resolution (6 vs 8-megapixels), image noise at high ISO, and continuous capture rate (3 versus 5 frames per second) lag the 20D, but the 7D’s image quality and handling are excellent. Lens cost should be considered when comparing systems; the 7D’s Anti-Shake feature may provide a cost advantage […].”
