Beware: KM has closed its digital camera businesses

The 7D is a wonderful camera, but be aware that Konica Minolta announced this month (January 2006) that it was immediately stopping the production and support of all of its digital cameras.The rights to the technology associated with the 5D and 7D have been transferred to Sony, but who knows what support the camera will continue to enjoy. (The consensus on alt.photo.digital is that some of technology will be employed on future Sony cameras, but few if any lenses and accessories will be made for...

Awesome digital SLR camera

Wow, this is one great camera.Great built, made in Malaysia.The camera feels sturdy and fits snuggly in my palms.I was afraid that this camera will be heavy as heck since on paper Canon touts that their cameras are lighter and more suitable for traveling and such.I have not carried it on a long trip yet but initial impression on this camera is that while it may be heavier than other cameras, it's still a manageable weight for a 160-pound guy like myself.This is my first digital SLR camera.I have...

Excellent camera

I've had this camera for several months, just returned from a trip to Europe where I shot 700 photos, also shot a wedding in the summer which was around 300 photos. I'm very happy with it overall. I've been a photographer for around 40 years, and I'm not too happy with the modern digital SLR cameras with their layers of menus for what I consider vital functions, not to mention the too-small controls. I looked at the Nikon 70s and the Canon 20d, I just didn't connect with them. As soon as I picked...

Good camera for 2003 but is almost 2006

Well, this camera is Ok for three years ago, nothing really exceptional image-wise. The picture quality no more than Ok, nothing really stunning. The lens choice , unfortunately is less than limited. The same lens that were working for Minolta 35-mm wouldn't work very much for digital because it requires much better lens resolution than 35-mm would be ok with.I think Minolta is rapidly loosing ground. Fuji,Canon and Nikon are way ahead and Nikon is coming up with 10M DSLR while we still have no...

Very Good Camera

It's really a no-brainer if you already have some Minolta AF lenses, but even if you don't have an SLR kit this camera should give you something to consider.The Canon 20D is a fine choice, too, but although it has a higher resolution sensor I'd rather have the 7D if I were just beginning to put a system together.Why?The Minolta is a shooter's camera.The ergonomics are absolutely brilliant.Near perfect, even.Plus, the viewfinder is a whole lot better than Canon's or any other body in its range that...
