Dynax Maxxum 5D finally announced

[dirk]

... see also our news section. Will be available in autumn. Price with Kit lens 18-70 will be 990.- Euro, but will surely come down.

6.1 MP CCD, Antishake, 2.5 inch screen. Externally seems to be a lot of cost-cutting (cheap looking). But internally seems to be very close to the 7D.

Smaller and lighter than the 7D (all plastic?)

It's said to be glass fibre?

Looks fine to me, but like the 350D and D50 it's tiny.
Not my cup of tea as a second body, but I'm sure as a digicam upgrade it will sell big time.

Check out the white balance bracketing function...excellent.

Rest of the spec is very close to the 7D...again excellent
