The Konica Minolta Dynax 5D (called Maxxum 5D in the USA and (Alpha) αSweet Digital in Japan) was announced by Konica Minolta on July 15, 2005. It became available from September 2005 and was bundled with the AF DT Zoom 18-70 mm / f3.5-5.6 (D) lens.
The camera features a 6 megapixel CCD sensor. Image files are created at a maximum resolution of 3008 x 2000 pixels and recorded in JPEG (STD, Fine, EX-fine), RAW and RAW+JPEG formats. It uses CompactFlash for storage. The back has a 115,000 2.5" TFT color display.

- Fibre plastic body, as opposed to a magnesium alloy on the 7D, camera is almost 200 g lighter
- White balance bracketing
- Newly added colour modes, including black and white
