 Konica Minolta Dynax 7D
It continues the legacy of the highly successful and reputed analogue Dynax SLR cameras, with distinct design resemblance to make the conversion from film to digital as smooth as possible for any experienced Dynax enthusiast. Supporting the full range of existing AF lenses, the Dynax 7D also eases the financial aspect.
Konica Minolta Dynax 7D - Impressive
Regardless of its background, the Dynax 7D makes an impressive performance, all by itself. Its exterior is robust and solid as a professional camera, introducing a huge 2.5" LCD screen with an innovative, rotating camera settings display. Professional is also the 6.1 Megapixel resolution with RAW or RAW+JPEG file formats. Yet, the most revolutionary feature is the built-in CCD Anti-Shake image stabiliser, the first ever in any SLR camera. Add to this a highly efficient AF system, fast overall camera response and burst shooting, as well as the new CxProcess III image processor for outstanding image quality.
DIWA Gold Award to Konica Minolta Dynax 7D - Conclusion
The conclusion from the DIWA experts is that Konica Minolta's late D-SLR debut was well worth waiting for. Fierce competition is no threat to the Dynax 7D. It stands out from the crowd and is bound to win many new friends.
