Antishake in the body!

now just comes waiting for it to actually come out!
probably actually not that bad, gives me time to save up for it

Now mionltas cheap 35 dollar lens will have AS and their expensive 4000 lens will to, no need for people that have them and use them to go out and get different ones.

IS in the body: nice.

But they left out the most important detail: price $$?

hmm I believe they make an adapter so the M/MD lens fit onto the minolta AF mount....the AF probably wouldn't work but it'd probably still function....
If it will work on a maxxum5/7 it should work on the new DSLR....
