Reviews of the Maxxum 7D Digital SLR Camera with 28-100 mm AF Lens
-
CNET Review
The Good: Unique Anti-Shake system works with all lenses; efficient, innovative control layout; big 2.5-inch LCD; highly competent AF system.
The Bad: Slow start-up; limited to one JPEG compression ratio in raw-plus-JPEG; no way to avoid noise reduction processing in high ISO images.
The Bottom Line: The well-designed Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D is a good all-around performer and a no-brainer for owners of Maxxum AF lenses.
