If the Maxxum 7xi's too posh but the 3xi's too simple, try a compromise
Article Abstract:
The Maxxum 5xi replaces the 5000xi and offers the best of 7xi features and 3xi price in one single lens reflex camera. The body is more compact and the mirror prism is glass which gives a brighter viewing image. Like other models, the camera lacks a depth-of-field preview button and flash terminal.
