 Written on December 7, 2002 Summary: Minolta Dimage 7i (Crime Scene Work) I have owned several Minolta products in the past and never had a problem. Therefore when it came time to go to digital for work (Crime Scene Investigations) I had no reservations with the Minolta. I have been using this camera for some time now and cannot say enough about the camera itself. The macro is wonderful and the white light adjustment has saved me several times. At the same time it is so simple in the program mode, that you can pass it off to almost anyone. I have used this camera to photograph things that most people don't want to talk about and it has never failed me. The software is more complex than necessary and the battery life is short, but the camera itself is excellent! Written on November 25, 2002 Summary: GENEROUS ZOOM-RANGE; ALLURING DESIGN Minolta's Dimage 7i is expensive, but its design is inviting. One of its most outstanding qualities is its generous zoom-range. At 28-200mm, it is a novelty in this digicam category: a masterpiece with excellent wide-angle and focussing system. The listed 5.24 megapixels buck, which effectively yields a 4.95 megapixels resolution proved capable. Its quality images testified to this fact. Minolta's styling choice ensured that Dimage 7i has well-positioned accessories and control buttons. But the main setback is that the high-speed 7fps burst falters each time I set the camera at its maximum resolution. Overall, this is a fine photo tool whose image quality is superior to that of its immediate predecessor, the Dimage 7. Written on November 20, 2002 Summary: bells and whistles I bought this camera after extensive comparison new for [money]; there is many offers in that range online. The primary reason for my choice was the reputedly good 7x optics - however, it's in terms of fine mechanics and accuracy a toy and far from professional - the objective wobbles and wiggles >1mm. Autofocus is slow indeed, probably much better with the 7Hi. Don't try to take pictures of flying birds... Battery consumption is high, but not a big problem. The camera comes with 4 very good rechargeable batteries and charger - buy a second set and take them with you on a trip. Overall, Minolta put much more effort into bells and whistles of the possibilities of computational image manipulation when making pictures or movies than quality signs that are less measureable online. In summary, the 7i is a good toy, takes nice pictures, yet is slow with unprofessional optics and lies in you hand more like a plastic toy from toys'r'us than a camera. My primary adive before buying online: go to a camera shop and try the cameras before ordering because of online presentable data and pictures. Written on November 13, 2002 Summary: Allows me to be as creative as I want to be I have never challenged my photography skills until I got this camera. The first month or so that I had it, (got in August 2002) I used it in the fully automatic mode. Learning all of the features and settings is a challenge -- that's not a complaint - this camera is so packed with functionality that you will have to learn it over time. I never heard of White Balance until I got this camera. I am now using the manual modes and taking photographs I never thought were possible. Don't get me wrong, the manual modes are great but when you want to push the limits of your creativity - this camera will allow you to do it. Written on November 7, 2002 Summary: Same thing for a better price. Not here to rate the camera, but to inform those who wish to buy it that there is a better deal out there. I just want to help the world :) Go ...and search for the camera It is almost cheaper. Well have fun, and I love to save the world money. Shopper D |
