Konica Minolta Dynax 7D ... supported memory: CF, Microdrive / The DYNAX 7D's high-performance AF system offers exceptional accuracy, with 9 separate AF sensors for wide-area coverage that gives you great flexibility in how you frame your subject. To exercise even more control, you can use the focus area selector switch on the back of the camera to choose any of the nine sensors as a spot-focusing target - the selected focus point will be indicated by a red mark superimposed on the image in the viewfinder.

High-speed AF data processing and lens drive systems assure instantaneous focus response, so you can more consistently capture the "magic moments" that SLR photography is all about. In addition, the AF system offers multi-dimensional predictive autofocus with auto-tracking focus-point display. It uses powerful processing algorithms to calculate the speed and direction of moving subjects in four directions, and significantly improves focusing accuracy during high-speed action photography.

Four focusing modes assure optimum performance in a wide range of situations. There's an AF-S mode for single-shot AF, an AF-C mode for continuous AF, and an AF-A mode that automatically switches from single-shot to continuous AF when it detects that your subject is moving. In addition, the DYNAX 7D features the same AF/MF controls featured on the DYNAX 7. Conveniently positioned for easy operation with the right thumb, the AF/MF button allows you to instantly toggle between autofocusing and manual focusing - without interrupting the flow of distance information to the camera's metering, Anti-Shake, and ADI flash systems. Another focusing option that is particularly useful for macro and portrait photography is Direct Manual Focus. When the shutter release is pressed halfway in this mode, the focusing mechanism's internal clutch is released as soon as the AF system locks onto the subject, allowing you to manually rotate the focusing ring to fine-tune the image. Combining the convenience of AF with the enhanced creative control of MF, it lets you enjoy the benefits of both without switching focus modes.

This product comes with AF DT ZOOM 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6(D) - an all-purpose lens with a zoom range that extends from wide-angle to telephoto-portrait.

 ... of the way and it has to be said that the Dynax 7D is a very well thought out piece of kit that has taken a lot of obvious customer feedback on the original Dynax 7 (which was also a fine camera) and evolved the design. But there have been some significant changes ”under the bonnet”. Film chambers and transport have given way to digital gadgetry of an impressive level, with the most impressive piece arguably being the new Anti-Shake CCD arrangement. Rather than repeatedly sell expensive anti-shake technology that mo...more

Crowned Review Konica Minolta Dynax 7D: At last - a digital SLR from Minolta! (2574 words)
by - written on 10/07/05 (Very useful, 568 readings)
Rating:

Some time ago I bought myself into the Minolta way of photography and over the years my kit-bag has grown to contain various Minolta camera bodies, lenses and accessories. So it's hardly surprising that I have waited until Minolta (now Konica Minolta) released a proper Digital SLR, that would allow me to use the majority of my existing kit, before I jumped into the expensive world of "pro-sumer" digital SLRs. While Minolta have been happily releasing model after model of SLR-a-like cameras with integrated lenses, there has been a distinct lack of a true SLR system. You can imagine my excitement then, when I heard that a digital version of my beloved 35mm Dynax7 ...  Read the complete review
