New compact camera vs. old DSLR

Since the Camera Gear section is closed, I have to post my questions here.

I want to buy a "new" camera, and I struggle with the decision which camera I should chose.
I fell in love with the brand new Sony Cybershot DSC-H9 which will be released within the next weeks. On the other hand I can get a (used) Konica Minolta Dynax D5 for the same price, for which I have two objectives from my old analog Minolta.

I don't like the idea of carrying about 1kg of weight with me, but I hate seeing the image quality viewing the photos of my compact Kodak with 100%.

So please tell me, what do you think is better (besides the decision of weight and usability):
3 year old DSLR-Technology in Dynax/Maxxum 5D or brand new Compact Prosumer Technology (which uses a lot of Sony Alpha Tecnique) but on a small sensor.
