Technical specification: Minolta Dynax 5 AF points: The build quality is a wee bit flimsy, as you'd expect from such a light-weight camera, but is still handles very nicely. But it has plenty of manual overrides too, making it a very nice ultra-compact walk-around camera for a wide range of users at all levels of experience.

This was Minolta's 'beginner's' camera of the series, with easy to use fully automatic and scene modes.

The Dynax 5 followed on from Minolta's other cameras in it's final series of cameras, the professional Dynax 9 of 1998 and the semi-pro Dynax 7 of 2000. (The similar Dynax 60 of 2004 was Minolta's very last film SLR.) At 335 grams (same as the Pentax *ist) it was also its smallest and lightest SLR camera. 6 out of 5 stars 23 Canon EOS Rebel 2000 Silver Date 35mm FILM SLR Camera Deluxe Kit with 28-90mm Lens (Discontinued.

Quote:If I remember correctly from reviews in magazines, the Nikon F75 was not a remarkable camera, so the Minolta may be a better choice. Both my 50/1.7 have focus problems but otherwise they are very sharp". I have heard this is a common problem with the AF 50/1.7 especially wide open. I don't know if maybe the lenses have dried lubricants or what the problem is but my Dynax 5 can focus fine with other Minolta AF lenses. I get soft out of focus pictures 4 out of 10 shots on different AF Minolta bodies. I have two of these lenses and while they are very sharp when they can focus they often miss focus.

If I remember correctly from reviews in magazines, the Nikon F75 was not a remarkable camera, so the Minolta may be a better choice. I really cannot decide yet, that’s why I would be so grateful if you could help me and give me some advices. Also, I prefer the black look of the Nikon, even though the Minolta kind of reminds me of my OM-2n. What about metering, exposure and AF speed in these two cameras? Apparently, the Dynax is better metering light (and it’s easier to use the spot metering) and it focus faster, but I’m concerned that the lens is not as sharp as the Nikon one. I have read that overall the Minolta is a better camera, and I wanted to know if the lens just mentioned is also better than the Nikon one.

I found both in mint condition (bodys only) for 30€ here where I live in France (shipment cost included).Įrgonomics, size and weight are the dealbreaker for me (otherwise I’d take an F100), and of course lenses (I want to buy an AF 50mm f/1.8 d if I choose the Nikon or an AF 50mm f/1.7 if I choose the Minolta, because I prefer shooting in 50mm than a lens-kit). I have small hands and I always carry a camera with me in my backpack (I always carry with me one of the above mentioned).Īfter doing some research, I decided I might take one of this two cameras: A Nikon N75 (or F75) or a Minolta Dynax 5 (Or Maxxum 5).

I am not a professional photographer, I just happen to love photography and I take it seriously, even though I do not need a super pro gear to be happy.Įven though I’m very happy with my cameras, I wanted to try an AF SLR which is small and light, because I don’t like heavy bulky cameras. I shoot landscapes, architecture, urban life and sometimes portraits, I do not shoot street photography almost never. I do most of all color photography, not black and white.
