    Shame it's discontinued ...

    By Morven  Feb 10, 2007 | 4 out of 4 found this Konica Minolta MAXXUM 7D review helpful

    Pros: Manual controls, color, flash performance, build quality

    Cons: Discontinued, support perhaps shaky from Sony

    I came late to the Minolta party, buying a 7D about a year after Minolta announced their exit from selling cameras. I got a brand new one that had probably been sitting around the store for that whole year and perhaps longer; it has a 2005 build date.... For the $560 I paid, it's more camera than I could possibly expect. The colors are wonderful; the controls - buttons and dials for almost everything, instead of menus - are excellent, and the results great. There's so much detail in the shots. Six megapixels is no longer top-flight, but it's plenty for what I shoot and what I shoot it for, which is for online and printing no larger than US Letter size. The camera I've tried that was the closest to it, feel-wise, was the Nikon D200, and that's a much more expensive camera. It's got that level of 'serious' feel. Read more Less

    Konica Minolta MAXXUM 7D Digital Camera

    By LindaG  Dec 29, 2006 | 4 out of 5 found this Konica Minolta MAXXUM 7D review helpful

    Pros: Its really a point and shoot its so easy to use

    Cons: Konica Minolta is no longer in the camera business

    Great camera, I love it. Uses same lenses as my Minolta 800si film camera. Very well balanced. Worth the money. Sorry to see the Minolta camera line end. Nothing to dislike about this camera.

    The End?

    By GaryK  Dec 29, 2006 | 3 out of 5 found this Konica Minolta MAXXUM 7D review helpful

    Pros: Great abilities

    Cons: Wil Sony keep the replacement parts available?

    Of course, currnet lens with Minolta Mounts will allow the hobbiest, to the professional happy. These lenses can be used on Sony bodys, but will Sony spend the money to keep the Minolta quality? This is a better camera than the Alpha. Can't wait ...for the Sony/Minolta high end Pro camera to get here. Love to see a medium format with 20 MP, and large CCD, until then, this is the camera for Minolta lovers. Up to the limits of a 6.3 MP format, it does everything you could want.The Minolta Catadioptric Lenses available make it do things other DSLR's wish they could do. Read more Less

    Great camera

    By Alan  Oct 6, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Konica Minolta MAXXUM 7D review helpful

    Pros: Magnesium casing, good workmanship

    Cons: Merged with Sony

    When I went out to buy this camera my budget was enough to buy a Canon 300D but I found that camera tacky and not very comfortable in my big hands (my little and ring fingers dangled in the air). As soon as I took hold of the D7D I knew it was my cam...era: fitted snugly in my hand, was heavy (which I find a sign of good workmanship) and offered a wealth of functions per pushbutton instead of having to drill down through countless menu levels. Sony's Alpha 900 is the natural choice for someone with as many solidly built Minolta lenses as I have, but at about EUR 2700 it's too expensive at the moment. Read more Less
