G, I got it back in March/Aprilish of this spring.

Since I've been shooting Minolta for many years and
have a few "good" Minolta brand and Sigma brand,Minolta
mount lenses, I was trying to stay in budget with a K-Minolta 5D bod,
as opposed to going Canon, Nikon, et al and having to cop
some new glass.

I like it: med. light weight, enough features, decent 6.1ish Megs,
good CCD, etc. I wish they offered an ISO below 100. The
anti-shake feature is decent, too. I copped it for $4 ish bens,
with coupons and hard shopping...I realize they were going
OOB, at the time, but didn't care. Sony bought their "stuff"
and have a new big time cam. out that looks like the 5D with
an IQ transplant.
