| docbnj's Full Review: Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D / Dynax 7D Digital Camera |
Extremely well designed camera, with features beyond those found on competing models. The first AS (anti-shake) system (built into the camera body) will save on lens costs: you don't have to pay over again for each "IS" lens. You get the feature even on any pre-owned Minolta AF lens. The nice, large knobs are simple to use without having to squint into an obscure window. The screen on the back is LARGE and easy to use.
I have used the 7D mainly for nature photography, and am very pleased with the results The camera body is handsome and well made. Easy to use, yet with many less obvious (and less obtrusive) features of interest to the most sophisticated photographer. This is real competition for the larger companies: I have had Nikon users walk up to me in the field and admire the large screen and clear finder. Nothing second-rate about this camera, except perhaps that a full-size 24x36-mm sensor would be preferable. Perhaps it will come later.
